Bowie Resources Limited Bowie No. 1 Mine 1998 Annual Hydrology Report 4-1) during 1998. The springs were not accessible during the fast quarter monitoring because of the lingering snow-pack. Spring 30 had measurable flow in May, September and November. Water quality parameters taken in May were consistent with previous sampling at this site. Spring 30 was first undermined in Apri1,1983. Spring 10-10 had no measurable flow in May, September and November therefore, no water quality parameters were taken. Spring ] 0-10 was encompassed by the angle-of-draw of Panel Y during October, 1993. Subsidence impacts were not apparent at either of these locations during 1998. West Roatcap Creek Four springs were monitored in the West Roatcap Creek drainage (refer to Table 1 and Map No. 4-I) during 1998. The springs were not accessible during the first quarter monitoring because of lingering snow-pack. Spring 31 was monitored on a monthly basis and exhibited consistent flows throughout the yeaz with the flow tapering off in the fall. Water quality parameters were consistent with ranges previously established for this site. No mining occulted witlvn the watershed for this spring in 1998 and no mining impacts were evident. Spring 32 was monitored monthly when it was accessible. Spring 32 exhibited consistent flow throughout the yeaz with the flow tapering offin the frill and winter. Water quality parameters were consistent with last yeaz's sampling. Spring 10-13 was monitored twice. Flows and field parameters observed at this site were consistent with previous baseline values. No mining occulted during 1998 in the Spring 10-13 watershed. Spring 14-4 was monitored quarterly. Flows and field pazazneters observed at this site were consistent with previous values. No mining occulted . during 1998 in the Spring 14-4 watershed. Steven's Gulch One spring was monitored within the Steven's Gulch drainage (refer to Table 1 and Map No. 4- 1) in 1998. Spring 25 lies below an area of the East mine inactive since 1982. This site had measurable flows in May, August and November and field parameters were consistent with prior measurements. Spring 25 has been identified as an adjudicated water right within the permit area. Three springs with ponds in the Stevens Gulch drainage, Spring and Pond 13-5, Spring and Pond 13-6, Spring and Pond 24, were monitored quarterly in 1998. Sprung and Pond 13-5 was undermined during the last half of 1992. Spring and Pond 13-6 was undermined during the end of 1988. The springs at 13-5 and 13-6 had measurable flows in May. A water quality analysis was collected and the resuhs were generally consistent with previously established values. Spring and Pond 24 had measurable flows only in May. Terror Creek Seven springs or springs with ponds aze found within the Tettor Creek drainage (refer to Table 1 and Map No. 4-1) were monitored during 1998. Spring and Pond 17 is outside the anticipated extent of minutg activity. Spring and Pond 20 and Spring and Pond 7-1 were undermined during the East Pod development, panels EP-3 and EP-4. All four springs have extensive data . collected to characterize the typical hydrology at these sites. However, these locations were identified and tazgeted by the Division as adjudicated water rights within the permit area. No PagO 4
