This study was formulated because New Mexico law states that part of the closeout plan for mining sites must include compliance with ground-water quality standards unless it can be shown that prior to mining there existed ground-water quality that exceeded these standards. There are reasons to believe that such standards may have been exceeded before mining although no direct information exists.
