Inflows from faults and fractures located outside stream valleys (such as in the Bowie No. 1 Mine) generally dry up with time or flow intermittently at discrete points along the fault or fracture. Those which continue to flow have flow rates which diminish to a trickle. Such inflows may represent the dewatering of lenticular sandstone units with limited recharge areas, or may represent flows through fracture zones extending to the surface which have narrow recharge zones on steep slopes. Surface Water - Surface water information may be found in Volume 1, pages 42 to 47 of Section 2.04, pages 114 to 135 of Section 2.05.6, and in Volume 4. Water rights tabulations and an augmentation plan are found in Volumes 5 and SA. Annual hydrologic reports have been prepared since 1982 and exist as stand- alone volumes. For a description of the surface water hydrology of the mine permit azea and a discussion of the impacts of mining on surface water, please refer to the Hydrologic Balance and Probable Hydrologic Consequences portions of Section B of this document. BRL's baseline surface water collection for the permit azea consisted of reviewing existing baseline studies on the area, compiling a list of water rights on file with the State Engineer, identifying water resources using aerial photographs, and actual on-the-ground surveys. In the 1988 Findings, only one concern with the baseline study that pertained to a proposed area to be mined outside that five-year permit term was noted. CWl had not obtained right of entry to conduct on-the-ground baseline surveys on two tracts of land totalling 286 acres within the East Roatcap Creek drainage basin. COVCC obtained the required rights of entry during 1992-93 and performed ground reconnaissance for surface water sources on these areas as baseline data for Permit Revision No. 3. The Bowie No. 1 Mine permit area is drained by East Roatcap Creek, West Roatcap Creek, Main Roatcap Creek, Steven's Gulch, Coal Gulch, and Terror Creek, all of which are tributaries to the North Fork of the Gunnison. Terror Creek is a perennial stream with an aquatic community that includes some trout. The stream has a high gradient channel with riparian vegetation and alluvium confined to narrow bands along the channel. Steven's Gulch, East Roatcap Creek, and Coal Gulch aze intermittent to ephemeral drainages that only flow part of the year. Localized deposits of colluvial material reworked by fluvial processes are present within the general area, primarily within the Steven's Gulch, West Fork Terror Creek, and Roatcap Creek drainages. These deposits are generally 20 to 30 acres in size and provide industrial (Steven's Gulch), domestic (Long Draw), and agricultural (Morrell Cow Camp) water sources (page 39, Section 2.04.7 of Volume 1). Several smaller occurrences of saturated alluvial/colluvial deposits are associated with the streams in the permit area; however, none of these is currently supporting agricultural use. 16
