Bowie Resources, LLC <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />2016 Annual Hydrology Report <br />Table 3 contains a listing of the field parameters and their application to the Springs, <br />Streams, Drill Holes and Ponds within the permit boundary. Flow readings for springs <br />and small streams are reported in gallons per minute. Stream and river flows are <br />reported in cubic feet per second. <br />Table 4 contains local precipitation data for the year. This data is available from the <br />internet at www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/Climsmco.html select Paonia 1 SW (056306). <br />The average precipitation for the period of record (1893 through 2016) is 15.39 inches. <br />Precipitation during 2016 totaled 11.61 inches which is below average. <br />Table 5 contains a listing of all monitoring points, with descriptions of their locations and <br />a reference to the Monitoring Point Figure that contains this year's monitoring data. The <br />included charts are given a figure number. During 2015 and 2016, approval of Technical <br />Revision Nos. 103 and 107 eliminated, or temporarily suspended forty-seven (47) <br />monitoring points. Table 5 hi -lights the changes to the monitoring program. <br />Monitoring point figures follow this introduction. Each Monitoring Point has an individual <br />table which tabulates the annual data collection and reports Minimum, Maximum, <br />Average and Baseline data. A reference in each footnote explains the period used for <br />baseline data. <br />Flow data for the North Fork of the Gunnison River is obtained from the USGS from a <br />website http://nwis-colo.cr.usgs.gov/historic.html. This flow reading is obtained <br />telemetrically from a station near Somerset, CO and is reflective of upper river flows <br />only. This monitoring point is identified by the USGS as 09132500. <br />Flow data for the Fire Mountain Canal is obtained from Mr. Trey Dennison, member of <br />the Fire Mountain Canal and Reservoir Company, whose phone number is (970) 527- <br />5166 or cell (970) 589-2857. This flow is representative of the upper and lower flows. <br />Monitoring point identifiers near the mine portals are historic and follow no specific <br />naming convention. Monitoring points located in other areas typically follow a <br />convention where the first letter(s) designates a water source type, such as "S" for <br />Spring or "SP" for Spring and Pond. The numeral(s) following the first letter designate <br />what Section the water source is located, for instance, SP34-2 would be a spring and <br />pond in Section 34. The numeral separated with a dash indicates an index number for <br />that point. SP34-2 would be the second monitoring point found in Section 34. <br />CDPS Monitoring Points <br />DMRs are submitted quarterly to the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment with copies to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and are <br />3 <br />
