L1 <br />' HONEYWOOD COAL COMPANY <br />' HAMILTON MINE <br />1994 ANNUAL HYDROLOGIC REPORT <br />' Introduction <br />' The Hamilton Mine began operating during the second quarter of <br />1992. The mine was reclaimed and idled during the fourth quarter <br />of 1993. The mine permit area has not previously been mined by <br />either surface or underground methods. <br />' The current water monitoring requirements are defined on page 2.05- <br />35 of the permit. The techniques used to collect samples and <br />t measure flows is presented on page 2.05-35a. The monitoring <br />locations are shown on the Hydrologic Area Map, permit Map 110. <br />Monitoring data for this years report is segregated into the <br />' following appendices: <br />Appendix No. Monitoring Data <br />' I Surface Water <br />II Springs <br />III Alluvial Wells <br />IV Bedrock Wells <br />Surface Water <br />' Surface water that may flow from the permit area will flow; 1} <br />along ephemeral drainages into Naturita Creek which discharges into <br />the San Miguel River or; 2) along ephemeral drainages that flow <br />1 directly into the San Miguel River. <br />Broad Canyon is the major drainage feature to the east of the <br />t permit area. Flow from Broad Canyon discharges directly into <br />Naturita Creek. Monitoring point H-2 is located where Broad Canyon <br />intersects Naturita Creek. No flow was recorded at this monitoring <br />point during the year. <br />A minor unnamed drainage feature which bisects Section 33 in a <br />north south direction is referred to as Section 33 Creek. <br />' Monitoring point S-1 is located in this drainage. This drainage, <br />which bisects the permit area, will receive most of the surface <br />drainage from the permit area. Flow from Section 33 Creek <br />' discharges into Naturita Creek. No flow was recorded at this <br />monitoring point during the year. <br />Bramiers Draw is the major drainage feature to the west of the <br />' permit area. Because the permit area slopes to the east, Bramiers <br />Draw will only receive a minor amount of drainage from the permit <br />area. Flow from Bramiers Draw would discharge directly into the <br />' San Miguel River. Monitoring points B-1 and B-2 are located in <br />
