Quarterly reports, covering activities associated with 

 the study, are available from the MBMG in Butte. In December 

 1984, the MBMG also published an interim report, "Hydroge- 

 ology of the Colorado Tailings Area, Butte, Montana." This 

 report was summarized in a paper presented at the Montana 

 Academy of Sciences meeting in Butte on April 19, 1985 (to 

 be published in the proceedings of the MAS in the winter of 

 1986). 



The above data and reports have provided a basis for 

 the reclamation designs to be utilized by the Montana 

 Department of State Lands at the Colorado Tailings (see Study 

 3.1). 



FUTURE ACTIVITIES ; Specific conductance, temperature and 

 static water levels will continue to be monitored monthly. 

 Two comprehensive water quality sampling episodes are planned 

 for the winter and late spring of 1986. Monitoring will 

 continue during, and up to 18 months after, any reclamation 

 activities at the site.
