Mayo and Associates, LC <br />On July 2, 1997 the BEM Fault was crossed in 14TG E2 XC 1. Groundwater discharge <br />from the mine floor was about 200 gpm but quickly diminished to about 100 gpm. Soon <br />after the-fault was crossed, discharge from the BEM Fault in the B East Mains azea dried <br />up. Fault dischazge has relatively constant until the BEM Fault was intercepted on <br />February 18, 1998 in 24HG E3 XC 8. At that time about 200 gpm discharged from the <br />floor at XC 8 and flow from 14TG area ceased. On May 28, 2003 the BEM Fault was <br />cross at 22HG E3 XC20-21. Initial inflow was estimated 3,500 gpm, but declined rapidly <br />to about 200 gpm within about 2 week (Figure 15). <br />4000 <br />3500 <br />3000 <br />2500 <br />E <br />c <br />m <br />a 2000 <br />m` <br />its <br />n <br />1500 <br />1000 <br />500 <br />n <br />Figure 15 13ydrograph of 2003 B East Mains fault discharge from 22HG XC 21 E3, <br />West Elk Mine. <br />Evaluation of Potenfial Groundwater Inflows 54 February 24, 2004 <br />Associated with E Seam Mining, <br />West Elk Mine, Somerset, Colorado <br />
