The source of this water is unknown since during <br /> development of 3rd West no measurable water was encountered. <br />' However, Bear Coal Company suspects that the sour ce of this water <br /> originates in an abandoned area in the adjacent West Elk Mine. <br /> This mine inflow is averaging approximately 18 gpm and is currently <br />' being consumed during the normal mining process. However, in the <br /> event that mine inflow becomes unmanageable, Bear Coal Company has <br /> applied and since received a Discharge Permit from the State of <br />' Colorado. See Appendix E for mine water quality. <br /> A map depicting the area of the inflow as be en enclosed with <br />t this submittal in Appendix C <br /> Consumption of water in the mine equals the amount of water <br /> imported to the mine plus the amount of mine inflow water consumed. <br />' <br /> <br />
