discontinued in 1985. Both of these wells have been dry since May 1999. . <br />Due to safety concerns because of their proximity to the highwall, both <br />these wells were abandoned in August 2003. A replacement Wadge <br />overburden well will be drilled in 2004. <br />- Wadge Coal. The six Wadge coal wells monitored exhibit the same <br />typical seasonal variations as the previous aquifers discussed. Due to <br />low aquifer transmissivities (range 0.07 to 0.36 ft2/day), water <br />sampling may mask normal water level fluctuations. Wells WW14 and WW17 <br />have exhibited an increase in water levels since 1998, with both <br />displaying their highest water levels ever this year. Wells WW3 and <br />WW18 have displayed and increase in water levels this year. Well WW16 <br />has recently displayed decreasing water levels. Water levels observed <br />this year for all these wells, except WW14 and WW17, fell within their <br />historic ranges. Well WW4 has been dry since May 2002. Due to safety <br />concerns because of its proximity to the highwall, WW4 was abandoned in <br />August 2003. A replacement Wadge coal well will be drilled in 2004. <br /> <br />- Sage Creek Overburden. Well WSOV24 monitors this stratum in the south <br />area. Monitoring began in September 2001. This well failed due to a <br />landslide that occurred in April 2003. A replacement well will be <br />drilled in 2004. <br />- Sage Creek Coal. Well WSC24 monitors this seam in the south area. <br />Monitoring began in September 2001. This well failed due to a landslide <br />that occurred in April 2003. A replacement well will be drilled in 2004, <br />- Wolf Creek Overburden. Well WWCOV24 monitors this stratum in the <br />south area. Monitoring began in September 2001. This well failed due to <br />a landslide that occurred in April 2003. A replacement well will be <br />drilled in 2004. <br />- Wolf Creek Coal. Wells WWC3 and WWC4 have both exhibited a decrease <br />in water levels since 1997, Due to safety concerns because of its <br />proximity to the highwall, WWC4 was abandoned in August 2003. A <br />replacement Wolf Creek coal well wi ll be drilled in 2004. Wate r levels <br />4 <br />
