' Honeywood Coal Company <br />1995 Annual Hydrologic Report <br />' Page 4 <br />Bedrock Wells <br />Two bedrock wells are located adjacent to the mining area and <br />one well is located within the permit area. BW-1, located east <br />of the mining area has contained measurable quantities of water <br />' during most monitoring events. During 1995, two samples were <br />obtained and analyzed. The quality of water measured in BW-1 <br />during 1995 was consistent with prior years monitoring. <br />' BW-2 is located in the northwest corner of the permit area. <br />This well did not contain measurable quantities during 1995. <br />' BW-3 is located southeast of the mining area. This well has <br />contained measurable quantities of water during two of twenty <br />monitoring events, from the fourth quarter of 1990 through 1995. <br />The well was noted as dry during 1995. <br />Consumptive Use <br />' None. The mine is reclaimed and is therefore idle. There was <br />no water used at the mine site during the year. <br />' Anticipated impact <br />' There was no recorded flow of surface water from the permit area <br />into either Naturita Creek or the San Miguel River during the <br />year. Bramiers Draw and Section 33 Creek were noted as dry <br />during the year. Monitoring point H-2, Broad Canyon, had one <br />reported flow during May from the adjacent area. This flow was <br />identified as return irrigation flow and therefore not mine <br />related. There was no discharge from the sediment ponds during <br />' the year and any minor surface run-off from the disturbed area <br />is contained in the ponds. Based upon the above factors, it is <br />unlikely that the mine operation had any impact on the <br />' hydrologic balance of the area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />
