The source of this water is unknown since during <br />development of 3rd west no measurable water was encountered. <br />However, Bear Coal Company suspects that the source of this water <br />originates in an abandoned area in the adjacent West Elk Mine. <br />This mine inflow is averaging approximately 18 gpm and is currently <br />being consumed during the normal mining process. However, in the <br />event that mine inflow becomes unmanageable, Bear Coal Company has <br />applied and since received a Discharge Permit from the State of <br />Colorado. See Appendix E for mine water quality. <br />A map depicting the area of the inflow as been enclosed with <br />this submittal in Appendix C <br />Consumption of water in the mine equals the amount of water <br />imported to the mine plus the amount of mine inflow water consumed. <br />II <br />
