• 1994 Annual Hydrologic Report Page 3 The Division's letter dated March 3, 1994 requested that the wells completed in the E-Seam be monitored to determine at what level the workings have been flooded. During September 1994 the coal seam piezometers, E-1, E-2, E-3, D-1, D-2, D-3 and F-1, were monitored. The respective water levels are presented on table G-94. The 1987 Annual hydrologic report predicted the water in the mine workings would reach the water level in E-1, 6355, in 1993. The current water level in E-1 is 6367.3 which is 10.1 feet higher than its historical average. This monitoring well might reflect the water level in the mine. The elevation of the surface where the mine portals were developed is approximately 6400. The water level in E-2 is about the same as E-1 since the two wells are just a few feet apart. The water level in E-3 has been erratic and the well is probably to far from the abandoned workings to be useful. The water levels in D-1, D-2, D-3 and F-1 are presented to complete the coal seam monitoring data. Since neither the D Seam or the F Seam were mined, the depth to water data for these wells is considered superfluous. • Minrec proposes to resume monitoring the depth to water at well E-1 to determine if the water level in the well does reflect the water level in the mine. t~y'nrec requests the Division's approval to abandon and reclaim the remaining well s MINE WATER The underground workings were not accessible for mine inflow monitoring in 1994 nor will they be accessible in the future. The water level in the mine is projected to stabilize below the portal according to the Kaman Tempo Report, Volume 8 of 8 of the permit application. For a projection of the mine filling schedule, please refer to the 1987 Annual Hydrologic Report. CONSUMPTIVE USE None.
