Sample Point Description <br />SW -1 Sneffels Creek upstream of the Atlas Drainage <br />SW -2 Atlas Drainage (includes Atlas Mine discharge) <br />SW -3 Revenue Seep (believed to be the Revenue Mine <br />discharge) <br />SW -4 Sneffels Creek downstream of Revenue Mine area <br />(includes all surface water flows) <br />All samples taken are tested for a suite of metals and other ions. The surface water samples are <br />being tested for both dissolved and total amounts (includes suspended material) in milligrams per <br />liter. The lab results can be found in Appendix 4, and the sample sites are seen on Maps C -5 and G- <br />1. As of the permit application, results were obtained for the Q4 2011 and the Q1 2012. Tables G -2 <br />and G -3 show the summary of these tests. Flows were also approximated during these sampling <br />periods although the estimates are very rough due to the conditions of the flows. As is seen by the <br />results, the Q4 2011 shows an upstream flow in Sneffels Creek of 1200 gpm, the Atlas drainage <br />contributed 500 gpm. The revenue seep (mine water discharge) was approximately 200 gpm and <br />Sneffels downstream was approximately 2000 gpm. The seep sample (SW -3) will be discontinued <br />once the mine water discharge no longer enters the current pond. <br />Revenue Mine August 2012 G -13 <br />
