Flow continued from the B East Mains (BEM) fault <br />and the 14 Southeast Headgate (14SEHG) fault, although flows from both faults diminished and <br />relocated as mining progressed downdip along the faults. MCC also experienced the usual small <br />inflows, which quickly subsided, as development mining occurred. Total mine inflows were <br />BEM Fault Inflow <br />The flow from the BEM fault inflow continued during WY99, but as the downdip expressions of <br />the fault were mined through, the updip flow ceased and relocated to the downdip location. The <br />flow is in the 23HG sump, so a sample at the source is not feasible. All locations are shown on <br />Map 1. <br />831-031.510 Page 19 R iighr W'arer Engineers <br />
