Introduction <br />. According to Stipulation No. 29, Pennit No. C-81-038, the operator submits the following Annual Mine <br />Inflow Report for the period of July 1, 2003 through 3une 30, 2004. <br />Mining Locations and Projections <br />Mining operations at Bowie No. 1 Mine have ceased due to market conditions and coal quality issues. It is <br />highly unlikely mining operations will resume. <br />• <br />Mine Inflow <br />The underground Mine Inflow Study at the Bowie No. 1 Mine was not conducted during 2004, as the mine <br />was inactive and inaccessible. <br />No water was discharged from the mine to the surface during the 2003-2004 reporting period. The <br />operator has no plans to discharge water from within the mine to the surface during the 2004-2005 <br />reporting period. No water has been discharged from the mine to date. <br />Water Importation and Balance <br />There was no production of coal from the Bowie No. 1 Mine from July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. <br />Production estimates for the following twelve month period remain at zero. Historically, mine water <br />importation is estimated from recorded flows and the number on tons mined. With no coal production to <br />base water usage upon, the operator submits only evaporative loss from ponds for the consumptive use <br />during the water year. Evaporative loss is based upon the assumption that all of the ponds have full dead <br />pool storage during the entire reporting period. <br />These water quantities are listed as: <br />Dust Suppression on Bowie No. I Roadway ...........................................................................................0.00 <br />Bathhouse Consumption2 ..........................................................................................................................0.00 <br />Evaporative Loss from Ponds ...................................................................................................................4.60 <br />Silo Usaee .................................................................................................................................................0.00 <br />Total water usage 4.60 <br />Hvdroloaic Impacts <br />There was virtually no water inflow into the mine. Therefore, the hydrologic impact caused by the mining <br />operation is either non-existent or not meastu'able. <br />Conclusions <br />No mine dischazge and minimal importation of water is anticipated during the 2004-2005 reporting period. <br />Therefore, the quality and quantity of surface water adjacent to the mine will not be affected. The <br />operator will continue to submit the Annual Subsidence and Hydrology Report which will summarize all <br />subsidence and hydrology data. <br />Acre Feet <br />INo or minimal consumption <br />~~ <br />ZBathhouse has been dismantled. <br />-1- <br />
