Honeywvod Coal Company <br />1997 Annual Hydrologic Repor! <br />Page 4 <br />BW-3 is located southeast of the mining area. This well has contained measurable quantities of <br />water during two monitoring events, from the fourth quarter of 1990 through 1997. The well was <br />noted as dry during 1997. <br />Consumptive Use <br />None, The mine is reclaimed and is therefore idle. There was no water used at the mine site <br />during the year. <br />Anticipated Impact <br />There was one minor recorded flow of surface water from the permit area into Naturita Creek <br />during the year. There was no recorded flow from the permit area into the San Miguel River <br />during the year. Bramiers Draw and Section 33 Creek were noted as dry during the year. <br />Monitoring point H-2, Broad Canyon had a one gallon per minute flow during the fourth quarter <br />monitoring event. There was no discharge from the sediment ponds during the year and any <br />minor surface run off from the disturbed area is contained in the ponds. Based upon the above <br />factors, it is unlikely that the mine operation had any impact on the hydrologic balance of the area. <br />
