• Introduction <br />According to Stipulation No. 29, Permit No. C-81-038, the operator submits the following Annual Mine <br />Inflow Report for the period of July 1,1998 through June 30, 1999. <br />Minine Locations and ProjeMions <br />Mining operations at Howie No. 1 Mine have temporarily ceased due to market conditions and coal quality <br />issues. It is unclear at this time where mining operations would resume in the event that this coal reserve <br />becomes economically viable. <br />Mine Inflow <br />The underground Mine Inflow Study at the Bowie No. 1 Mine was not conducted during 1999, as the mine <br />was inactive and inaccessible. <br />No water was discharged from the mine to the surface during the 1998-1999 reporting period. The <br />operator has no plans to discharge water from within the mine to the surface during the 1999-2000 <br />reporting period. No water has been discharged from the mine to date. <br />Water JmQortation and Balance <br />There was no production of coal from the Bowie No. l Mine from 3uly 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999. <br />Production estimates for the following twelve month period remain at zero. Historically, mine water <br />importation is estimated from recorded flows and related tonnages at the mine from September,1985 <br />through April 1986. With no coal production to base water usage upon, the operator submits only water <br />used for the bath house, dust suppression at the Bowie No. 1 mine facilities and dust suppression at the <br />• Unit Train Loadout. The bath house has not been used since Mazch of 1999 <br />These water quantities are listed as: <br />Acre Feet <br />Dust Suppression on Bowie No. 1 Roadway' .......................................... 1.68 <br />Bathhouse Consumption' ......................................................... 5.08 <br />Silo Usaue' ................................................................... <br />Total water usage 12.26 <br />i~droloEie Impacts <br />There was virtually rb water inflow into the mine. Therefore, the hydrologic impact caused by the mining <br />operation is either non-existent or not measurable. <br />'Estimated per attached worksheet <br />ZEstimated per attached worksheet <br />'Calculated from meter readings at the Unit Train Loadout water meter per attached <br />. worksheet. <br />-1- <br />
