C~ <br />r~ <br />U <br />similarly to those in well GA1. The water level in well GA2 is <br />very close to the bottom of the well. Water levels in the KLM <br />aquifer in this area rose in the past due to higher rates of <br />recharee, while the decline the last five ye_rs is thought to be <br />mainly caused by the decline in recharge. <br />Well GB1 is located downslope of the toe of A pit, where the <br />B and I coal seams were mined durine 1985. Fioiire A-3 shows tha± <br />water 1P_VP_15 were rising at s steady rate during the period 1985 <br />through September 1987. Well GB1 was zirliftec! for production in <br />September of 1987. 1988, 1989. 1990 and 1991 for monitoring of the <br />recovery of water levels. Data presented from November 1991 <br />through Der_ember 199 shows continued recover°v of water levels <br />sinr_e the last production. of this well. This data indicates that <br />the recovery of taater le•aels in well GB1 is very slow. We11 GB1 is <br />monitored only fur water-level data and is rep=ommended not to be <br />produced annually. Due to the very slow recove,rY of water levels, <br />a more accurate static water-level will be obtained by producing <br />this well. <br />Water levels for well GB2 the last three and ore-half years <br />have gradually risen. probably due to being downgrarlir_nt of the <br />reclaimed mine pit.
