Mr. Kent Gorham <br />November 16, 1994 <br />Page 16 <br />Spring 25 is located 300 feet south and at an elevation app_*-rn;~++ately 10 feet <br />lower than the nearest coal mined durirg 1982. All available data in the <br />database was oolleCted during and after 1983. A sufficient hydrology database <br />consisting of flow, field parame*~+', and water quality information had been <br />established far this location priar to 1993 to define the hydrology at this site. <br />Spring 25 has erdribited extremely poar water quality since the inception of data <br />wllection efforts. During 1993, no new mining activities with the potential of <br />creating detectable ir~acts ooan-red in the vicinity of this site. <br />Gtu7ently this spring is required to be monitored quarterly for flaws and field <br />paramPtp,c; annually far water quality. 'Ihic monitaring is required as a result <br />of this feature's standing as an adjudicated water right within the permit area. <br />AS OmIQJaI'ed t0 CuiTer$. rq~iiT'pma*+ts, three monitarinq omiss]OTLS OOCllrred during <br />1993; two flow aryl field pa*~*~*- visits were not aooa~q~lished in 1993 and the <br />required annual water quality sar[q~le was omitted. Zhese omissions are tempered <br />by this site's location with respect to past minirg activity and the presence of <br />the established database docimientirg poar water quality with regard to this site. <br />In discussions with the Divisiarr*pga*+jiM Spring 25, the Division suggested <br />annual visits to this site with flow aryl field parameters collected in the spring <br />would suffice far this site until such time as the Fast Mine was reactivated. <br />4his suggested monitoring was ao~lished in 1993. However, in the interest of <br />maintaining wnsistency within the required monitoring network, CUVQC elected to <br />oo~mnit to quarterly monitoring far this site. Quarterly monitoring was <br />aoocm¢rlished in 1994. <br />Spring & Porri 18: <br />Spring & Ford 18 lies outside the area of any potential mining ir~acts. Advance <br />mining in the Closest prrn;m;ty to this Site took place in 1985 amrrnrimately <br />6200 feet distant from the site. A sufficient. hydrology database consisting of <br />flow, field parameter, aryl water quality information had been established for <br />this location prior to 1993 to define the pre-minirq hydzology at this site. <br />During 1993, no new mining activities with the potential of creating detectable <br />impacts oCCarrred in the vicinity of this site. <br />GUi-rently this spring is not required to be monitored further. ZYris spring has <br />been pern-anently ~,~*~~ frau the monitarirg network. As compared to current <br />r?rn~i*~*+ts, no monitarirg omissions ooasred during 1993; one additional flow <br />and field parameter visit ooc~sred in 1993. <br />Spring & Pond 20: <br />Sprirg & Ford 20 lies outside the area of any potential mining impacts. Advance <br />mining in the closest pm~ri m;ty to this site took place in March 1985 <br />annmY;~++ately 2300 feet distant from the site. A sufficient hydrology database <br />consisting of flow, field para+!~~ ar, arrl water quality information had been <br />established for this location priar to 1993 to define the lse-mining hydrology at <br />
