,~ <br />.,~~: . <br />Groundwater Monitoring <br />A temporary agreement was struck with Bud Rienau to monitor groundwater levels <br />in the G and J coal seams and in two alluvial wells in the vicinity of "First <br />East" mining under Curtis Creek. The data seems to indicate that the G seam <br />(HRG-1) near mining is being dewatered, as expected, and the effects have not <br />yet been transmitted further away (HRG-2), attesting to the low transmissivity <br />of this coal. No apparent hydrologic effects have occurred in the overlying <br />J seam (HRJ-1) to date.. <br />The current data from the two alluvial wells HRA-1 and HRA-2 tend to indicate <br />that the fluctuation in the levels of alluvial groundwater is synchronized <br />with the normal seasonal fluctuations.in the quantity of surface water flow. <br />Such a situation would be expected under normal undisturbed conditions. The <br />data contained no indication that either surface or alluvial waters were <br />being discharged to underlying strata. <br />
