' 2.04.7(1)(a)(iii) <br />' ~ (b) Specific surface water information. <br />' The location of the springs within and adjacent to the Bear :line <br />permit area are shown on Drawing 2.04.7(2)(a)-1. Note that some <br />' of the springs are located above the "F" seam and some below. <br />The measured yields of springs and results of water quality <br />' analysis can be found on Table 2.04.7(2)(a)-2, 2.04.7(2)(a)-:S, and <br />2.04.7(2)(a)-4. Spring floras generally decrease from high flan during the early <br />summer to laa flans in the early fall, with many of the springs drying <br />up during the same period. This is an indication that the <br />recharge and discharge points of the springs are close together. <br />' The approximate location of decreed springs on and near the <br />permit area can be found on Drawing 2.04.7(2)(a)-1. <br />' Drawing 2.04.7(2)(a)-2 shows the location of springs in and <br />adjacent to the Bear Pine permit area with respect to lineamcants, <br />landslide deposits, and rock fall areas. P.asically what t.hi<.~ <br />map shows is that the springs occur in valleys and the valleys <br />M follow linear trends. The source of the water for almost al:l <br />the springs is felt to be discontinuous lenticular sands, because <br />' if only fratures were involved the springs would not be able <br />to flow for any length of time. However, some of the spring:a may <br />also be associated with fractures. <br />' (i) Flow records. <br />The dip of the beds in the Bear Mine permit area is toward the <br />' main portal in the northeast. As described more fully on page <br />42, there is no water generated in the Bear Mine. The only <br />water found in the mine is the result of the dust suppression <br />system and the mining operation. These small accumulations <br />' do not drain from the mine due to the presence of folding and. <br />local loca spots. There is no discharge from the Bear Z^ine. <br />' The mine area is drained by Sylvester Gulch and one other small <br />ephemeral stream directly into the 2:orth Fork of the Gunnison <br />River which is part of the Colorado River drainage basin, see <br />Dra:ring 3.04.7(2)(a)-1. <br />RE'JISF~ t^.ay 15, 1°81 47-1a <br />
