SURFACE WATER MONITORING <br />There are eight (8) surface monitoring points within Bear Coal's permitted area. <br />Pond 004, Outfall 001, Upstream North Fork (U/S NFG), Downstream North Fork (D/S <br />NFG), Spring G26A, G-266, G-26C and CR- 12. Location of Pond 004 and NFG's can be <br />found on map "Figure 11" located in Appendix A and spring locations on map <br />"Geology/Hydrology" also located in Appendix A. <br />The French Drains were not monitored during the year because they were removed <br />during the 1997 reclamation project. <br />The results of groundwater data collected during 2001 and pertinent water quality <br />parameters are found below. <br />North Fork of the Gunnison River <br />The North Fork of the Gunnison River is monitored during June and December for field <br />parameters and laboratory analysis for conductivity, total dissolved solids, total suspended <br />solids, iron and Manganese. Actual stream flows are obtained from the web (http://nwis- <br />colo.cr.usgs.gov) or by contacting the Department of Water Resources, Colorado River <br />Talk at 303-831-7135.
