State Reg. <br />' since the fall of 1984, approximately 2,200,000 gallons per <br /> month (0.113 cfs) have been siphoned from the Wadge Impoundment <br /> to the shop area for the truck wash facility; the waste water <br /> is released to the Shop Reservoir. Besides these abstractions <br /> from the mine surface water system which must be considered <br /> when evaluating the combined flow data for sites NPDES 002 and <br /> 003, precipitation has been extremely varied as indicated from <br /> the precipitation data presented in Table 7-57. Despite these <br /> considerations which make interpretation of the flow record <br /> difficult, there is no indication that flow from the mine area <br /> has noticeably increased or decreased during the past six <br /> years. Even during the base flow months of August and <br /> September, there is no indication of a trend showing increasing <br /> or decreasing flow from year to year as the mining disturbance <br /> area increases. Additional future monitoring at sites NPDES <br /> 002 and 003 in conjunction with spoils springs monitoring <br /> should help to better establish how the base flow regime within <br />•• the mine area may be changing, if at all. Spoils springs No. <br />4 <br />l <br />G <br />C <br />k <br /> 3, <br />and 5 were identified in the upper Litt <br />e <br />rassy <br />ree <br /> drainage in the fall of 1985. Flow measured in early November <br /> were 0.005, 0.085 and 0.094 cfs, respectively. Future spoil <br /> spring flow data collected from these sites and any additional <br /> sites discovered during the annual spoils spring survey will be <br /> presented and discussed in the annual hydrology reports. <br />Within the Cow Camp, Bond and Fish Creek drainages, there are a <br />total of five monitoring sites used to quantify flow. The <br />location of each of these sites is depicted on Figure 7-3U. <br />Sites 26 and 27 are located on Fish Creek, upstream of Cow Canip <br />Creek and downstream of Bond Creek, respectively and are <br />monitored and maintained by Twenty bile Coal Company. Site 26 <br />is also known as Site 1002 which was originally monitored by <br />the U.S. Department of Agriculture and referred to in tfie <br />original permit application (see page 7-59). Site 27 has been <br />recently moved upstream a few hundred yards and is now referred <br />to as Site 27A. The only flow data which PCC was able to <br />7-192 Revised 10/01/86 <br />
