Introduction <br />According to Stipulation No. 29, Permit No. C-1981-038, the operator submits the following <br />Annual Mine Inflow Report for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. <br />Mining Locations and Projections <br />Mining operations at Bowie No. 1 Mine have ceased due to market conditions and coal quality <br />issues. It is highly unlikely mining operations will resume since the surface facilities have been <br />reclaimed. <br />Mine Inflow <br />The underground Mine Inflow Study at the Bowie No. 1 Mine was not conducted during 2016, as <br />the mine was inactive and inaccessible. <br />No water was discharged from the mine to the surface during the 2015-2016 reporting period. <br />The operator has no plans to discharge water from within the mine to the surface during the <br />2016-2017 reporting period. No water has been discharged from the mine to date. <br />Water Importation and Balance <br />There was no production of coal from the Bowie No. 1 Mine from July 1, 2015 through June 30, <br />2016. Production estimates for the following twelve-month period remain at zero. Historically, <br />mine water importation is estimated from recorded flows and the number on tons mined. With <br />no coal production to base water usage upon, the operator submits only evaporative loss from <br />ponds for the consumptive use during the water year. Evaporative loss is based upon the <br />assumption that all of the ponds have full dead pool storage during the entire reporting period. <br />These water quantities are listed as: <br />Dust Suppression on Bowie No. 1 Roadway........................................................................... 0.00 <br />Bathhouse Consumption'........................................................................................................0.00 <br />Evaporative Loss from Ponds.................................................................................................. 4.60 <br />SiloUsage................................................................................................................................0.00 <br />Total water usage 4.60 <br />Hydrologic Impacts <br />Historically, there was virtually no water inflow into the mine. Therefore, the hydrologic impact <br />caused by the mining operation is either non-existent or not measurable. <br />Conclusions <br />No mine discharge and no importation of water is anticipated during the 2016 - 2017 reporting <br />period. Therefore, the quality and quantity of surface water adjacent to the mine will not be <br />affected. The operator will continue to submit the Annual Subsidence and Hydrology Report <br />which will summarize all subsidence and hydrology data. <br />'Bathhouse has been dismantled. <br />1 <br />
