DMG Permit No. M~8-112 <br />Quarterly, Monthly and Bi-weekly Sampling <br />Dear Mr. Dillie: <br />All required sampling was completed during the month of January. Enclosed are analytical <br />reports from Accu-Labs and Sangre De Cristo Lab (SDC) for the recent bi-weekly, monthly, and <br />quarterly sampling periods as specified in the April 1992 Abatement Plan. The cross-reference table <br />between sample identification numbers, sample types and sample locations is also attached. <br />Analysis that have not been received will be forwarded to you as I receive them. Field and rinse <br />blanks were collected as part of the QA/QC. <br />All surface water stations were inspected and RS-4 and RS-6 were found to be dry. <br />Vacuum on the lysimeters was verified and no water was present to sample. <br />When we checked the piezometers on the main embankment of the tailings impoundment on <br />02/01 /99, the piezometers were dry or contained well below 12 inches of water. <br />The two new west pit piezometers were measured for depth to water on 02101 /49, with the <br />following result: BF-twos 1 1.90 ft and BF-2 was 15.55 ft. The other piezometers in the West Mine area <br />were also checked with the following result: PW-1 was 14.05 ft, PW-2 was 14.95 ft, PW-3 was 23.30 ft <br />and PW-4 was 26.25 ft. <br />The underdrain was measured at approximately 28 GPM. <br />We were unable to measure flow or collect a sample from the leak detection system in January <br />because it was frozen. <br />As spelled out in the Response Plan, we continued drilling wells in January. Nine ~9) new wells were <br />completed in the alluvial material and six of the nine were sampled and six were pump tested. The <br />new wells were M-23, M-24, M-25, M-26, M-27, M-28, M-29, M-30 and M-31. Wells M-23, M-25 and M- <br />27 were dry. Two new wells were completed in the Santa Fe formation. <br />
