West Elk Mine 2014 Annual Hydrology Report 21 <br />3.2 Spring and Seep Monitoring Program <br />In WY 2014 a total of 40 springs and seeps were monitored as part of the MCC <br />hydrologic monitoring program. The total number of sites monitored does not include <br />seep E14-1 which has not been monitored since it was abandoned in 2006, when it was <br />covered by drill -pad construction activities. <br />The spring and seep monitoring plan is divided into four general hydrologic categories <br />for discussion purposes: <br />• Springs and seeps in the North Fork drainage basin issuing from the strata <br />above the F -coal seam; <br />• Springs and seeps in the North Fork drainage basin issuing from strata in or <br />below the F -coal seam; <br />• Springs and seeps in the Jumbo Mountain area in the North Fork drainage <br />issuing from strata above the B -coal seam; and <br />• Springs and seeps in the Dry Fork drainage issuing from strata above the E - <br />coal seam. <br />The locations of the spring and seep monitoring stations are shown on Map 2. The <br />following discussion of monitored springs is presented according to the general <br />hydrologic categories described above and from upstream to downstream relative to the <br />mining area. A summary of the spring and seep monitoring program details is presented <br />in Table 5. <br />June 2015 HydroGeo, Inc. <br />
