Box 591 <br />Somerset CO 81434 <br />Dear Mr. Barbe: <br />The Division has completed review of Mountain Coal Company's Annual <br />Hydrology Report for 2001 at the West Elk Mine. Overall, it is an <br />excellent report, generating very few comments. <br />DIVISION O F <br />MINERALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING•SA FETY <br />Bill Covens <br />Governor <br />Greg E. Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Acting Division Director <br />The effects of continued drought are evident in the water quantity of the <br />springs and those wells completed into colluvium and even alluvium. It is <br />interesting to see that there doesn't seem to be much effect from the drought <br />on wells completed in formations. <br />Thank you for the report. <br />Sincerely, <br />C1,~`f ~'~~~ <br />v Jim Burnell <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Cc: Sandy Brown <br />
