the coal silos. The exceedances reported for both <br />mercury and especially selenium appears to be <br />elevated and should be monitored closely in the future <br />to determine if there are additional contributing <br />factors to the elevated levels. <br />10. Interim <br />CWQCC regulation <br />Yes <br />It was determined that groundwater points of <br />Narrative Standard <br />41.5.C.6 <br />compliance are unwarranted at the Hayden Gulch <br />for Ground Water <br />Loadout. It was determined that any leachate <br />originating at the loadout would likely be of better <br />quality than native groundwater in the Lewis Shale <br />which has high concentrations of dissolved solids. <br />11.

Basic Standards <br />CWQCC regulations <br />Yes <br />The Loadout did not generate significant amount of <br />for Ground Water <br />41.4 and 41.5 <br />leachates in 2011. Both groundwater wells exceeded <br />the manganese standard (0.2 mg /1) in May and <br />September of 2011. Groundwater well HGDAL3 <br />exceeded the boron standard (750 ug /1) in September <br />2011. Groundwater well HGDAL3 exceeded the <br />cadmium standard (10 ug /1) in May and September <br />2011. CDRMS has previously determined groundwater <br />points of compliance are not necessary, based on the <br />Loadouts lack of potential impacts to ground water <br />quality (memo dated 6/5/08). TDS of alluvial ground <br />water consistently exceeds 10,000 mg /1, indicating <br />"Limited Use and Quality ". Leachate originating from <br />the Loadout would lack sufficient head to migrate into <br />
