• West Roatcap Creek -Two ponds in the West Roatcap Creek drainage (refer to Table I and Map No. 4-I) were <br />monitored during 2003. The ponds were monitored quarterly for water levels and field parameter if they were <br />discharging. No evidence of mine impacts were noted. The West Roatcap Creek ponds were physically intact <br />throughout 2003 and showed no subsidence effects. <br />Steven's Gulch -Five ponds were monitored within the Steven's Gulch drainage (refer to Table 5 and Map No. 4-1). <br />Ponds 85 and 13-7 were monitored quarterly for water levels and field parameters. Pond 85 was undermined by Panel <br />B in 1992. Pond 13-7 was also undermined during 1992. No subsidence impacts or other irregulazities were evident <br />at either of these locations during 2003. <br />Conclusion <br />Hydrologic monitoring was extended into the northern portion of the East Roatcap Creek drainage during 1993 to fit <br />newly acquired lease areas and revised mine plans. Mining operations were suspended during December 1997 and have <br />not resumed. Hydrologic monitoring conducted during 2003 did not show mine related impacts to the local hydrology <br />were occurring.
