dr <br /> Mr. Doug Bowman - 2 - July 8, 1986 <br /> It should be noted that the sampling during Spring shows the higher quality <br /> water of the annual cycle. A low flow, late Fall sampling, during 1987 would <br /> be useful to depict the poor quality season. <br /> The major chemical constituents of the water sampled during this Spring of <br /> 1986 are in relative percentage: <br /> Bicarbonate as CaCO3 <br /> Sulfate <br /> Sodium <br /> Calcium <br /> Chloride <br /> Magnesium <br /> Based on these major constituents, the Division proposes that Mid-Continent <br /> revise the analysis list for both surface and ground water to include all <br /> their parameters. In addition, some other metals should be included in the <br /> analysis due to the relatively high levels noted in the samples. The <br /> following is the revised full suite list that appears appropriate: <br /> Bicarbonate Conductivity <br /> Sulfate Total dissolved solids <br /> Sodium *Total suspended solids <br /> Calcium pH <br /> Chloride Temperature <br /> Magnesium <br /> SAR <br /> Iron <br /> Barium *Surface Water Only <br /> This list excludes several parameters previously analyzed. Alkalinity is <br /> deleted due to its lack of variance from bicarbonate. Manganese has never <br /> exceeded receiving stream standards in surface water and mercury has never <br /> been detected. Nickel has never been detected in problem levels. <br /> If Mid-Continent agrees with this revision to the list, a request for a <br /> technical revision to the monitoring program should be submitted with <br /> publication made in the local paper. <br /> If you have any questions, please call . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> andace M.
