<br />' <br /> Creek and Williams Creek AVFS, it is concluded that impacts <br />' to farming on these AVFS will be insignificant and that no <br /> material damage to the water that supplies these AVFS will <br /> occur <br /> . <br />' Based on monitoring of the Ward Creek and Williams <br /> Creek AVFS (as described below), Grand Mesa Coal Company <br />' (GMCC) will take measures as necessary to assure that the <br /> essential hydrologic functions of these AVFS are preserved. <br />' AVF Mnitorinq <br /> Section IV of this report contains a hydrologic <br /> <br /> monitoring program for the Red Canyon Mines. As noted in <br />' Table 10 of that section, the program calls for monitoring <br /> of the flow and quality of Ward Creek and Williams Creek <br />' upstream and downstream of the Red Canyon Mines (see Map 2). <br /> The monitoring program also calls for the monitoring of the <br />' fl <br />i <br />G <br />b <br />Dit <br />h <br />th <br />di <br />h <br />t <br />th W <br />b <br />b <br />d <br />d <br /> ow <br />n <br />ran <br />y <br />c <br />a <br />ove <br />sc <br />arges <br />e <br />o <br />o <br />ar <br />an <br />' Williams Creeks and the Carbon Ditch (to include monthly <br /> flow and quality monitoring) near the portal facilities of <br />' the Red Canyon Mines. An important element of the AVF <br /> monitoring program will be flow measurements and inspection <br />' of irrigation ditches by respresentatives of the Colorado <br />' Division of Water Resources. <br /> It is believed that no direct monitoring of <br />' agricultural productivity on these AVFS is necessary due to <br /> the heavy dependence of local farming activities on flood <br />1 <br /> <br />' 95 <br />
