Trapper Mine. The permeabtlities from the bacldill aquifers are significantly greater than the <br />coal aquifers that they replace. <br />The QR water-level map at Trapper Mine was very similar in 2003 to the 2002 <br />water-level elevations except for some additional decline in the G pit area. Gradients and <br />flow directions for the QR aquifer in 2003 are similar to those observed in 2002. <br />Map No. 2-2 presents the water-level elevation contours for the HI aquifer in the <br />Fati of 2003. Wells GB-5, GGi, GE-2, GF-4, GP-3, GP-7, and GMP-1, which are completed <br />in the HI aquifer, and badcfili wells GF-5 and GF7, were used in the development of this <br />map. Welts GF-5 and GF-7 are completed in the baddill in the area where the H and I coal <br />seams were mined. Ftow direction in the HI aquifer has been changed mainly near the A <br />pit near well Gf-~4. The overall flow regime in this aquifer is northerly, similar to that <br />observed In 2002 (see Hydro-Engineering, 2003). The ground-water gradient between the <br />baclfiA aquifer and the un-mined HI aquifer downgradient is relatively fiat as it is in the QR <br />bacldill. The contours in the HI aquifer have also been changed on the east side where the <br />active A pit was extended in 2003, mining the H seam. The Z pit was used to mine the I <br />seam in 2003. <br />The 3rd White Sandstone aquifer water-level elevations are presented on Map No. <br />2-3. Wells G&2, GC-2, GE-3, P-8, 81-03A, and GP-9 were used in the development of this <br />map. Flow direction in the 3rd White Sandstone is mainly toward the north, as expected. <br />Data from weAs GE-3 and 81-03A indicate that the 3rd White Sandstone water flows toward <br />the west between these two wells and probaby toward a discharge to an adjacent aquifer <br />or to the surface. The 2003 contours are very similar to those observed from the last few <br />years. <br />i <br />2-10 <br />
