• Red Canyon Mine -1998 AHR Page 4 <br />This data provides further evidence the water level in well E-1 is not related to the water <br />level in the mine. <br />The PHC predicts that a spoil aquifer with a peak discharge of 30 gpm will develop in the <br />underground waste disposal area and backf+lled areas of the recaimed topography. There <br />have never been any springs or seeps observed at the waste disposal area or reclaimed <br />mine site. There is no indication a spoil aquifer has developed in the reclaimed waste <br />disposal area or reclaimed mine site. <br />RECLAIMED WELLS <br />All of the monitoring wells except A-1, A-2, E-1, R-3 and S-1 were sealed during the year. <br />Well S-1 must have been destroyed and covered by some construction activity since it <br />could not be located. This well was developed in a shallow formation and it did not <br />intercept any water. Leaving this well without any further sealing will not present a <br />significant potential for ground water contamination. Monitoring wells A-1, A-2, E-1 and <br />R-3 will remain open until reclamation is approved by the DMG. <br />MINE WATER <br />The underground workings were not accessible for mine inflow monitoring in 1998 nor will <br />they be accessible in the future. The water level in the mine is projected to stabilize below <br />the portal according to the Kaman Tempo Report, Volume 8 of 8 of the permit application. <br />For a projection of the mine filling schedule, please refer to the 1987 Annual Hydrologic <br />Report. <br />CONSUMPTIVE USE <br />None. <br /> <br />
