2016 Recommended Modifications to the West Elk Mine Hydrologic Monitoring Network 4
<br />Table 1. Summary of the Spring and Seep Monitoring Network
<br />Yellow highlighted cells indicate sites proposed in 2016 for elimination from the hydrologic monitoring network.
<br />SW mine panels area — southwest B -Seam longwall panels; SE mine panels area — southeast B -Seam longwall panels
<br />Box Canyon mine panels area — Box Canyon B -Seam longwall panels; W. Flatiron mine panels area — West Flatiron B -Seam longwall panels
<br />Jumbo Mountain mine panels area — Jumbo Mountain B -Seam longwall panels
<br />SOD mine panels area — South of the Divide E -seam longwall panels
<br />1) For sites with more than 5 years of data, lab parameters include TSS, TDS, EC, pH, and Fe (dissolved & total).
<br />2) For sites with 5 or less years of data, lab parameters include: pH, EC, TDS, TSS, SAR, bicarbonate, Ca, Cl, hardness, Mg, Nitrate/nitrite, phosphate, K, Na, sulfate, Al, As (total
<br />recov.), Cd, Cu, Fe (diss. and total) Pb, Mn, Hg (total recov), Mo, Se (total recov), B, Zn,
<br />3) Spring E14-1 was covered by MVB pad construction activity in WY 2006; therefore, it was not monitored in WY 2007 or subsequent years.
