The coal seams are <br />located in the bottom of the Mount Garfield Formation, which is <br />part of the Mesa Verde Group. <br />In 1982, Dorchester Coal Company drilled 24 groundwater <br />monitoring holes in the area of the Fruita Mines and only two <br />holes contained any water. These two were completed in alluvium <br />of the Sig Salt Wash located south of the mine reclaimed area. <br />There are no real aquifers between the coal seams and the Mancos <br />Shale. <br />Drilling of many exploratory holes in the coal seams and the <br />/strata above also showed that no appreciable amount of water was <br />encountered in any of the holes. <br />Since this permit is to provide ongoing reclamation maintenance <br />/for areas already planted, no aquifers will be affected by this <br />permit. <br />There are no known wells, springs or other developed groundwater <br />'resources within one mile of the permit area. <br />7~s/~ <br />.2 /~? <br />
