5. Groundwater Seepage: <br />a. Installation of seepage meters: A total of 12 groundwater seepage meters will be <br />installed in Queens Mirror Lake (4 sites), South Lake Triplet (5 sites), and Middle <br />Lake Triplet (3 sites) to determine the quality and quantity of shallow groundwater <br />seepage entering the lakes. The seepage meters will be installed in shallow and <br />deep areas of the lake and will include a range of land use, waste disposal <br />techniques, and topographic characteristics in upland areas adjacent to the seepage <br />meters. Proposed locations for seepage meters are given on Figure 2. <br />Figure 2. Proposed Seepage Meter Monitoring Sites. <br />b. Routine monitoring of seepage meters: Seepage monitoring will be conducted for <br />a period of 6 months, with a total of 4 monitoring events conducted during the 6 - <br />month period. Seepage samples will be collected more frequently during wet season <br />conditions and less frequently during dry season conditions. Assuming that seepage <br />meters are installed in late -August, seepage monitoring events will be conducted <br />during the months of September, October, December, and February. During each <br />collection event, the quantity of seepage collected in each seepage meter will be <br />measured, and a sample of the collected seepage will be returned to the ERD <br />laboratory for chemical analysis. Water samples collected from the seepage meters <br />will be analyzed for the following parameters ($81.50/sample): <br />PROPS \QUEENS MIRROR/TRFPLET CHAIN -OF -LAKES HYDROLOGIC -NUTRIENT BUDGET EVALUATION FEE -AUGUST 2010 PAGE 3 <br />
