Creek at the following locations; SWGS-02--located on Cottonwood Creek in the NE <br /> 1/4 SE 1/4 Section 12, immediately upstream of No. 3 South Mains, SWGS-03-- <br /> located on Rapid Creek in the SE '/4 NE '/4 Section 7, and SWGS-01-- positioned on <br /> Rapid Creek downstream of the confluence with Cottonwood Creek. Flow at <br /> SWGS-02 and SWGS-03 will be recorded bimonthly during low flow (June through <br /> November). Flow measurements on SWGS-01 will be collected with continuous flow <br /> recorder when the creek is not frozen. <br /> Monitoring of Coal Creek and Jerry Creek was initiated in 1995. In 1999,monitoring <br /> requirements were reduced to downstream stations SWGS-06 on Coal Creek and <br /> SWGS-08, on Jerry Creek. The ephemeral flow in Coal Canyon will be monitored at <br /> the "dip section" culverts located between CRDA-I and CRDA-2. The intermittent <br /> flow of Jerry Creek was measured at a culvert near the Highline Canal,a short distance <br /> upstream from the creek's confluence with the Colorado River. Instantaneous flow <br /> was measured quarterly at the culverts, for which flow ratings have been provided. <br /> Monitoring of Jerry Creek, SWGS-08, was discontinued in September 2011 with the <br /> approval of TR-62. <br /> H. Transfer of Wells <br /> Information on the final disposition of monitoring wells and other pertinent data is <br /> found in the permit application beginning on page 14-29. All mine openings and wells <br /> will be permanently closed using permit specified measures, with the exception of <br /> approved permanent dewatering pipes. The operator projects no discharge from the <br /> Roadside North Mine following permanent sealing. At the Roadside South Mine, <br /> water will be allowed to fill abandoned areas to an elevation below the level of the <br /> sealed Northwest intake portal. Approved permanent discharge structures are located <br /> at Outfall 016, a gravity flow discharge pipe located near the North Decline reclaimed <br /> area, and Outfall 002, a siphon type discharge structure located at the backfilled <br /> Northwest Intake Portal. Outfall 016 is the primary discharge site; Outfall 002 is <br /> approved as a back-up system for use in the event that Site 016 malfunctions. <br /> Wells in contact with aquifers will be filled with concrete or other suitable sealant and <br /> plugged with a concrete seal. The permittee is not proposing to transfer any well. <br /> I. Discharge of Water into an Underground Mine <br /> No surface water is intentionally diverted into the mine workings at the Roadside <br /> Portals Mine. In 2014 a surface landowner directed ditch water into surface holes <br /> overlying old workings. This resulted in apparent hydrologic communication between <br /> the surface ditch water and the underground workings. No crops were being irrigated <br /> with this ditch water in 2014. TR-69 was approved by the Division to repair an old <br /> air shaft that appeared to be a source of the hydrologic communication. The <br /> landowner appealed the Division's decision to approve TR-69 to the Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Board(Board). The Board heard the appeal at the May 24 and 25, 2017 <br /> Board Hearing. The Board upheld the Division's decision. The landowner <br /> 30 <br />
