• Bowie Resources Limited May 12, 2003 <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />Annual Hydrology Report <br />Department of health (CDOH). <br />North Fork Alluvium Monitoring Wells <br />Alluvial monitoring wells AW-1 through AW-6 aze located near the mine entrance along the north <br />side of Old State Highway 133. These wells are monitored quarterly for field parameters and <br />semi-annually for full suite laboratory pazameters during the second and fourth quarters in <br />accordance with the permit application. Alluvial monitoring wells AW-7 through AW-9 are <br />located neaz the mine entrance along the south side of Old State Highway 133. AW-10 cannot be <br />reliably sampled due to a collapse of the casing, and will be eliminated from the monitoring plan. <br />These wells were installed as a requirement of PR-03 which allows the mine operator to relocate <br />Sediment Pond B to the south side of the highway. Alluvial Wells I 1 through 13 were installed <br />during the fall of 2000 to motor the alluvium in an area where a new coal loadout (PR-06) will be <br />constructed. These wells were monitored on a limited basis during 2002. <br />The 2002 sampling season provides results consistent with baseline information provided in the <br />permit application, showing no adverse impact to groundwater during the construction of the <br />mine. <br />• Surface Water Monitoring Stations: PONDS <br />Stock Ponds P-1 through P-6 and P32-3, P33-3, and P33-7 aze monitored quarterly for 1.) <br />Inflow; 2.) Outflow; and 3.) Water level below spillway outlet or depth of water in the pond <br />measured from the bottom ofthe pond. Field data collected during the 2002 sampling season is <br />consistent with baseline information provided in the permit application. At the request of the <br />USDA-Forest Service, photographs of each pond were included with the 2001 monitoring data. <br />Surface Water Monitoring Stations: SPRINGS <br />Fifty four springs within the permit boundary were monitored during the 2002 monitoring season <br />in accordance with the Hydrologic Monitoring Plan included in the permit application and PR-04. <br />This plan indicates that identified springs will be inspected quarterly for field parameters with full <br />suite laboratory pazameters required on springs with flows greater than five (5) gallons per <br />minute. During the construction phase of the mine, four (4) springs (S-6, S-7, S-9 and 5-15) <br />were eliminated by road and portal bench construction activities. The 2002 field and laboratory <br />analysis is consistent with baseline data provided in the permit application. <br /> <br />
