<br />' The waste rock generated during this term of permit is <br />disposed of in the initial waste rock pile at the loca- <br />tion shown in Exhibit III. The waste rock pile was <br />' designed and constructed in accordance with the perfor- <br />' mance standards of Rule 4.10 of the CMLRB regulations <br />for Coal Mining, Coal Processing Waste Banks. <br />' Water levels were monitored in the upslope monitoring <br />' well, WR-3, and in the downslope well, WR-2. <br />' During Water Year 1983 both wells were nearly dry and <br /> did not contain enough water to permit collection of a <br /> sample for water quality analysis. In June 1982, Well <br /> WR-2 was destroyed during construction of parking fa- <br /> cilities. A new well was completed in November 1982. <br /> Monitoring at upslope and downslope wells will continue <br /> in subsequent years in order to assess any impact of <br /> the initial waste rock pile on groundwater. Because of <br /> the favorable characteristics of the waste rock, the <br />' low permeability of the colluvial soils and the lack of <br />' groundwater in the strata below the waste rock pile, no <br /> impacts on groundwater are anticipated in subsequent <br />' years. <br />' 2.2 Assessment of Springs <br />' Within the mine permit area and adjacent area are two <br />1 springs, G-1 and G-2, which were identified as having <br />-20- <br />
