MonitoringLocationDescriptionText The Canyon Uranium Mine groundwater well is outside the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park and is located approximately 10 miles south of the South Rim. Canyon Mine ground water samples were drawn from a depth of 3100 ft below the rim surface at a rate of 790 gpm. Groundwaters were sampled at the well heads. Actual station establishment date reported to STORET is estimated at the middle of the month because researchers gave only the month, and not the actual date, of station visits.
