Them appeus to be, gGcd comparison between water level fluctuations and the trend of <br />precipitation -relative to normal around Ham Lake and Spring Lake. Dave Ford used th <br />WAT]3UD model to evaluate the data, and found a correlation between the fluctuation f Spring <br />Lake and climate (sez atU-Ichment). <br />Gmand WithdMwal <br />Founds view and Fridley have municipal wells in the Prairie du Chien -Jordan Aquifer and a <br />buried artesian P-quifer wiffiffi two miles, of Spring Lake. Well log data shows these aquifers am <br />hydraulically separated from the water table aquifer by layers of clay. Nonetheless, pumping <br />from these aquifers will increase the potential for leakage from the water table aquifer, Yvhick <br />could be lowering level of Spring Lake over the long term. <br />s7�11il,wrix <br />I believe the three foot decline of the Spring Lake water level from the spring of 1999 the <br />spring of 200 was climate -related. Municipal wellfield pumping could be inducing Ic �kage <br />from the surf cial aqWer, possibly causing a long term decline of the Spring Lake water level. <br />If Spring Lake monitoring shows continual lake level decline, recording devices could 'n placed <br />in an existing <br />observation well nen the shore of Spring Lake and observation well 201 or 2014 <br />to see if pumping impacts are app t. <br />C: Brian Rongitsch <br />Pale Homuth <br />
