<br /> <br />1 INTRODUCTION <br />The Bulldog Mine is located in Mineral County, Colorado, approximately 0.5 miles northwest of <br />Creede. Mining operations at the Bulldog Mine ended in 1986. Reclamation activities including <br />demolition and removal of mine buildings, closure of tailing facilities, regrading and re-vegetating <br />the waste dumps, and closure of the 9360 and 9700 adits were completed by 1992. <br />As part of the postclosure and reclamation phase at the Bulldog Mine, Water Management <br />Consultants, Inc. (WMCI) was tasked with developing an assessment of the Windy Gulch <br />drainage as it relates to the mine facilities and potential impacts to the local hydrologic areas. The <br />work to develop the assessment described herein included: <br />installation of wells, drive point piezometers, and weirs along the drainage, <br />• • development of a monitoring program, <br />• an evaluation of flow and water quality characteristics within the Windy Gulch <br />drainage, and <br />• an evaluation of the Windy Gulch drainage as it relates to the Willow Creek <br />drainage system. <br />The discussion presented herein summarizes the work described above which was utilized in <br />developing a hydrologic assessment of the Windy Gulch drainage. <br />n <br />lJ <br />
