Figure 3. Concentrations of selected trace elements in ash fill.

The concentration of boron in the ash fill near Monitoring Well 8 has exhibited decreasing fluctuations through time. Concentrations of arsenic and molybdenum have also shown similar trends. These chemical species may be approaching equilibrium.
|

For several years, the concentration of chromium in the ash fill near Monitoring Well 8 remained
low, but in 2001 the concentration of chromium began to exhibit large fluctuations. Similarly, nickel shows no evidence of approaching equilibrium.
|

With the exception of one anomalous value, the concentration of molybdenum in the ash fill
near Monitoring Well 9 has fluctuated within a constant range, indicating that molybdenum has
been in quasi-equilibrium since the completion of reclamation.
|

The concentration of nickel in the ash fill near Monitoring Well 9 has exhibited large
fluctuations and a generally increasing trend through time. Arsenic, boron, and cadmium
also show large fluctuations that indicate equilibria have not been reached.
