empty. The water flowed into the bailer slowly so a sample of the water from the bottom of the <br />well was obtained. It was not possible to purge wells H -10 and B -6 because they were connected <br />to the flooded mine workings. With the exception of 2009, H -10 well has been dry resulting in <br />no samples being obtained. Because of mine development activities, during 2004, B -6 was <br />sealed. <br />Typically, water samples from groundwater wells are obtained with a bailer after the wells have <br />been bailed to remove the equivalent of at least one volume of water from the wells. Because of <br />regional drought conditions a number of wells often experience lowered water levels and <br />reduced inflows. Some wells simply continue to monitor limited water containing zones. In such <br />cases, water levels may often be obtained but water samples are not available. Often, limited <br />volumes of water are obtained with the bailer and some samples contain sediment moved from <br />the bottom of the well. <br />Pre- 2010, SGS (formerly Commercial Testing & Engineering Co.) of Denver, Colorado, <br />completed the laboratory analyses of the water samples. Post 2010, Enviro Chem Analytical, <br />Inc. of Grand Junction, Colorado completed the laboratory analysis. <br />These analyses are summarized on the tables and graphs found in this report. The original copies <br />of the laboratory analytical results are stored in the OMLLC offices and available for inspection <br />by CDRMS during complete quarterly inspections. Copies of the specific laboratory reports are <br />also available upon request. <br />3 <br />
