' HONEYWOOD COAL COMPANY ' HAMILTON MINE 1992 ANNUAL HYDROLOGIC REPORT t Introduction The Hamilton Mine began operating during the second quarter of 1992. The mine permit area has not previously been mined by either surface or underground methods. t The current water monitoring requirements are defined on page 2.05- 35 of the permit. The monitoring locations are shown on the Hydrologic Area Map, permit Map 110. Monitoring data for this years report is segregated into the following appendices: ' Appendix No. Monitorin4 Data I Surface Water ' II Springs III Alluvial Wells IV Bedrock Wells ' Surface water ' Surface water that may flow from the permit area will flow; 1) along ephemeral drainages into Naturita Creek which in discharges into the San 1•tiguel River or; 2) along ephemeral drainages that ' flow directly into the San Miguel River. Broad Canyon is the major drainage feature to the east of the ' permit area. Flow from Broad Canyon discharges directly into Naturita Creek. Monitoring point H-2 is located where Broad Canyon intersects Naturita Creek. No flow was recorded at this monitoring point during the year. ' A minor unnamed drainage feature which bisects Section 33 in a north south direction is referred to as Section 33 Creek. ' Monitoring point S-1 is located in this drainage. This drainage which bisects the permit area will receive most of the surface drainage from the permit area. Flow from Section 33 Creek discharges into Naturita Creek. No flow was recorded at this ' monitoring point during the year. Bramiers Draw is the major drainage feature to the west of the ' permit area. Because the permit area slopes to the east, Bramiers Draw will only receive a minor amount of drainage from the permit area. Flow from Bramiers Draw would discharge directly into the ' San Miguel River. Monitoring points B-1 and B-2 are located in upper and lower Bramiers Draw respectively. No flow was recorded at these points during the year. 1 1
