continue assessment of the groundwater geometry, static water level measurements were <br />collected. Measurements, attached as Appendix 4 -3(b) and 4 -3c, indicate spring rise in <br />the perched water elevation. As discussed above, there is no identifiable hydraulic <br />connection between the water available in coals and in fractures or in springs and seeps. <br />There are no regional or widespread continuous aquifers in the permit or adjacent areas, <br />and consequently, piezometric maps cannot be developed. See Map 4 -3 for spring <br />elevations and other water data. Hydro - geologically, the springs and seeps are not <br />connected (See logs and Map 4 -3). There is no correlation between the first water <br />samples and those submitted as additional information. <br />Monitoring of springs, seeps, and groundwater monitoring wells continued from permit <br />issuance in accordance with the applicable monitoring program at any given time. The <br />current monitoring program was terminated in 2006 with the approval of the Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. Hydrologic data has been compd in the <br />Annual Hydrologic Reports for the mine. These reports are submitted annually. <br />Information concerning the general geology and hydrology can be found in the following <br />public information which is available to the Division from other state and federal <br />agencies. Said information and data is hereby incorporated herein by reference. <br />See E*hib4 F itt Appendix for portions of this information. <br />9z <br />Amuedo and Ivey, 1975, Coal Resources and Preliminary Geologic Hazards Study, <br />Archuleta County, Colorado: prepared for the Upper San Juan Regional Planning <br />commission. <br />Barnes, H., et al, 1954, Geology and Resources of the Red Mesa Area La Plata and <br />Montezuma Counties, Colorado: U.S.G.S.
