Mr. Kent Gorham <br />November 16, 1994 <br />Page 8 <br />Currently this pond is not x'equi.L'ed to be monitored fin+hPr until one year prior <br />to reinitiating development of the East Mine. As oared to cin-rent <br />*~»*-~nts, no monitaring cmissions Oaam'ed dicing 1993; five additional water <br />level, flow, and field ~ramatnr visits ooasred ]n 1993. <br />Porn 13-4: <br />Pond 13-4 lies outside and upstream of the subsidence zone. No mining has <br />oa:urred within the watershed area contrikuting to this pond to date aryl none is <br />anticipated. A sufficient hydrology database consisting of flow, water level, <br />field paramreter, and water quality information had been established for this <br />location prior to 1993 t0 define the pre-miniTm hydrology at this site. During <br />1993, no new minirg activities with the potential of creating detectable impacts <br />occurred in the vicinity of this site. <br />Currently this pond is not required to be monitored further. 11••~ porn has been <br />permanently suspended from the monitarirxJ network. As ocmpared to cuurent <br />requiremesits, no monitoring en~t~ions occlsred during 1993; four additional watex <br />level, flow, aryl field parameter visits occurred in 1993. <br />Pond 13-7: <br />Ford 13-7 overlies Panel A+ which was mimed in early 1992. Retreat mining in of <br />Panel A+ was o~leted in mid-March 1992. A sufficient hydrology database <br />consisting of flow, water level, field parameter, arri water quality information <br />had been established prior to 1993 to define the pre-mining hydrology at this <br />location. During 1993, no additional mining activities with the potential of <br />creating detectable impacts oaau red in the vicinity of Porri 13-7. <br />Currently this pond is required to be monitored quarterly for flows, field <br />parameters, aryl water levels; annually for water quality. As compared to cw.-rent <br />requirements, no monitoring omissions occurred during 1993 with the possible <br />exception that a water quality sample was not obtained in the spring as no flows <br />were oocurri~ on May 27, 1993 when the site was first visited; two additional <br />water level, flow, and field parameter visits ooc~sred in 1993. In 1994, <br />monitoring at this location was initiated May 13 and again no flows were observed <br />emanating frwn the porn which was appm~cimately 3/4 full. <br />Pond 13-8: <br />Pond 13-8 overlies an area of the East mine inactive since 1981. Pena 13-8 is a <br />very small porri which typically dries up early. During 1993, no new mining <br />activities with the potential of creating detectable impacts oaarrred >n the <br />vicinity of this site. <br />Curzently this pond is not required to be monitored further. Zhis pond has been <br />permanently suspended fran the monitories network. As oared to current <br />requirements, rto monitoring ~~~eions oocutred during 1993; five additional water <br />
