EFCI Souihfzeld Mine -Year 2006 Annual Hydrology Report Apri125, 2007
2.0 GROUND WATER INFLOWS, U5E AND DISCHARGE
2.1 Mine Inflow=s
As previously noted in Section 1.0, quarterly mine inflow monitoring was discontinued after
September 2001 because access to monitoring sites was eliminated when the mine portals were
sealed in December 2001. Mine inflows for 2001, as the last reporting period, were estimated at 5.2
acre-feet, as presented in Table 1, Mine Water Inflow Summary. The monitoring locations aze
shown on Figure 1. Prior to 2002, these locafions were monitored semi-annually during the spring
and fall for each annual reporting period. The 2001 mine inflows represented a decrease from prior
yeazs possibly due to continuing drought conditions at that time. Review of historic mine inflow
water quality monitoring results from previous Annual Hydrology Reports indicates little variance
in inflow water quality over time.

Notes from 2001:
1. Approx. 1.7 Ac-Ft pumped to the West Mains from combined areas 2 an d 4, above.
2. Approx. 1.1 Ac-Ft pumped to the 1 North section from area 1, above.
Inflow from areas 3 and 5, above, flows (by gravity) to the West Mains.

2.2 Mine Water Handling:, Use, Consumation and DischarEe
During active operations, water-handling systems in the mine captured most mine water inflows
near their source. Within the mine, captured mine water was pumped to sumps located in Crosscut
32 or the 1st North Mains, or flowed by gravity to the mined-out and abandoned west area of the
mine. Water from the Crosscut 32 sump was pumped to the West Mains where it flowed by gravity
to the abandoned west area of the mine. Prior to sealing of the mine, mine water handling activities
were discontinued. Mine inflows will continue within the sealed mine workings and water will
