1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 I <br />1876 <br />1 <br />Segment 13b, Foidel Creek <br />Segment 13a, Trout Creek to Fish Creek <br />Typical flow patterns were exhibited in Foidel Creek at Site <br />008, 800, and 14, located immediately downstream and <br />upstream from the Foidel Creek Mine respectively. Foidel <br />Creek at Site 008 is fed by surface runoff and coal spoil <br />leachate springs on the historical Eckman Park /Energy Fuels <br />coal mining area. Water quality parameters at these sites <br />were within previously established ranges in 2013. <br />The Wadge overburden and the Twentymile Sandstone are <br />the two aquifers most likely to be affected by mining. If the <br />workings are developed to the maximum extent approved, <br />the monitoring locations of both formations will be <br />upgradiant from mine workings. The following wells serve <br />as the Foidel Creek Mine's ground water points of <br />compliance: 97013TM ( Twentymile Sandstone), 008 -77 -58 <br />( Wadge overburden), 008 -AU3 (Fish Creek alluvium), 008 - <br />AT-1 (Trout Creek alluvium), and 008 -AV -2 (Foidel Creek <br />alluvium.) The mine's annual hydrology reports contain <br />long -term data from these wells. These data show the <br />11. Sampling frequency <br />Exhibit 14 of CDRMS <br />Foidel Creek mine is in compliance with the Basic Standards <br />at surface water sites <br />mining permit C -82 -056 <br />for Ground Water at the points of compliance, with the <br />exception of the following: <br />The ground water point of compliance well for the Trout <br />Creek alluvium, 008 -AT -1, was identified as being destroyed <br />in November of 2012. As such, no data has been collected <br />for the Trout Creek alluvium since April of 2012. A <br />determination of compliance since April 2012 cannot be <br />made due to a failure to collect and submit the required <br />data. <br />The Division understands that 008 -AT -1 was re- established <br />in the summer of 2014 and monthly water monitoring has <br />been ongoing since the re- establishment of the well. <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 I <br />1876 <br />1 <br />
