,` area. To date we have produced on the order of 200 acre feet of water <br />~,~ from the area. As might be expected, the initial maximum flow decreased <br />quickly, and has been steadily to slowly decreasing since the initial <br />drop. It is unlikely that the sandstone above the G seam is the sole <br />source of water to the fault area. <br />The chemistry of the fault water is similar to the chemistry of mine <br />inflow water from elsewhere in the mine, and is markedly different from <br />surface. water in the area. There has been no sudden drop in the head of <br />monitored aquifers that coincides even remotely with the interception of <br />the fault. The source of water to the fault, therefore, may be: <br />- from any or a combination of several discontinuous sandstones, <br />- the coal• seam itself, <br />- a locally occurring fracture network that essentially behaves as a <br />separate aquifer, <br />- a combination of the above. <br /> <br />
