III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />r 1 <br />f.. J <br />Roy Romer, Governor <br />DEPARTMENT OFNATURALRESOURCES <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />FRED R. BANTA, Dlreetor <br />DATE: August 18, 1988 <br />T0: Susan Mowry <br />FROM: Jim Pendleton ~ ~ ~-~~ <br />RE: Semiannua ue Ribb ench F~ydrologic Monitoring <br />ermit C-81-047 <br />I have reviewed the letter report which you forwarded to IRy attention. The <br />results suggest that the bench at the Blue Ribbon Mine experienced fairly high <br />soil moisture last spring. This correlates with our surface observations of <br />the past spring. While the past winter was not an abnormally high <br />precipitation season, the nature of this spring's late precipitation and <br />• accelerated spring melt did result in high soil moisture contents. The <br />moniroting shows it to have significantly exceeded the water table high stands <br />of the previous year. This might serve to explain the small surficial slump <br />which occurred above the intermediate terrace bench of the Blue Ribbon mine <br />bench. The monitoring also shows the high water table stand to have receded <br />fairly promptly. <br />In ~ opinion, the monitoring results are acceptable as submitted. <br /> <br />215 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel.
