well GF-6 and have shown no influence from the upgradient mining, except for a very slight overall <br />increasing trend. These small changes are well within natural variations. Figure B -2 also presents <br />the TDS concentrations for QR well GP -5. TDS concentrations in this well were steady in 2012. <br />Figure B -3 presents the TDS concentrations for three KLM aquifer wells. The data for <br />well GP-4 is presented in red square on Figure B -3 with steady values in 2012. The concentrations <br />are overall similar to values for the last several years. TDS concentrations for two of the eastern <br />KLM wells, GP -2 and GP -8, are also shown on this figure with concentrations generally between 700 <br />and 800 mg/l. Variable TDS concentrations that are overall steady have been observed in these two <br />wells for the last few years. <br />Figures B-4 presents the TDS concentrations versus time for the HI aquifer wells. The TDS <br />in HI aquifer well GF-4 had gradually increased in concentrations with time but has been fairly <br />steady for the last few years. The small changes are well within natural fluctuations in this well but <br />could be due to upgradient mining. TDS concentration in backfill well GF -5 is slightly greater but is <br />still well within the natural range for the HI aquifer. Significantly higher TDS values have been <br />observed in backfill well GF -7 with the concentrations in the last fifteen years being between the <br />lower levels prior to this period and the maximum historical values from this well. TDS values in <br />this backfill aquifer will likely fluctuate until they decline to a value similar to the HI aquifer in this <br />area. <br />Wells GMP -1 and GP -3 are two HI aquifer wells north of the A pit and are shown on Figure <br />B -5. Higher values of TDS were observed in well GMP -1 during 2006 through 2012. This well is <br />immediately downgradient of the reclaimed A pit and is likely showing fluctuations from the backfill <br />aquifer. The previous TDS values and fluctuations in well GMP -1 are similar to those in well GC -1, <br />which had to be natural until mining reached this area the last few years.
