Ventilation fan moisture output <br />Any water evacuated from the mine by the ventilation fan would be accounted for <br />in the above estimate. <br />In summary the Bowie No. 2 Mine is expected to consume: <br />Item Acre-Feet <br />Road Dust Suppression 8.9 <br />Pond Evaporation 4.6 <br />Underground Dust Suppression <br />Continuous Mmer(s) 27.2 <br />Underground Roadways 6.5 <br />Conveyor Sprays, Underground 37.7 <br />Conveyor Sprays, Surface 2.1 <br />BathhouseJDomestic 16.3 <br />Unit Train Loadout <br />Truck Dump to Silos 2.6 <br />Train Loadout System 0.9 <br />Total estimated consumptive use 106.8 <br />• The estimated water depletion from the Bowie No. 1 Mine was last evaluated in 1994 <br />when the mine planned to increase production to 1.5 million tons per year (Ref Volume <br />9A, Tab, Fish and Wildlife). The operator estimated the following depletion for a <br />production rate of 1.5 million tons per year: <br />Item Acre Feet/Year Basis <br />Mine Consumption 28.7 1.5 Million tons/year <br />Surface Consumption 30.9 1.5 Million tons/year <br />Pond Eva oration 4.6 1.47 acres of onds <br />Total Consumption 64.2 <br />The additional consumptive use is therefore 42.6 (106.8 -64.2) <br />CJ <br />"T2-3a <br />~ g~ o~ <br />
