2005 AHR Pages <br />and 4 located underground in the North and South Portals respectively have been sealed. <br />Depth to water data is presented on data page GE-1. Quality information is presented on pages <br />GE-10 and GE-11. <br />The Rollins Sandstone wells are numbered Rollins 1, 2, 3 & 4 on data page GE-1. Rollins-1 is <br />an underground well located in the North Portal and was under artesian conditions. It was <br />sealed as of December 1999. Rollins-2 is located at the unit train loadout. Rollins-3 is located <br />at the north decline. Rollins-4 is an underground well located in the South Portal. It was sealed <br />as of April 2000. <br />Mine Water <br />There was no annual mine inflow study performed this Year since one was performed during <br />December 1999 and reported in the 1999 report. Since the North and South Portals have been <br />sealed, there will not be any additional mine inflow studies. <br />Consumptive Use <br />No consumptive use during the year. <br />Impacts <br />The average total dissolved solids for the mine discharges calculated with total Flow for the Year <br />yields the tons of TDS discharged for the year. Outfall 016 discharged a total of 826 tons of <br />TDS to the river during the Year. <br />The 2005 TDS discharge represents 0.07% of the 1.19 million tons calculated to be carried by <br />the River. At the Roadside South Portal, water is expected to perpetually discharge through <br />outtall 016. <br />There was no detectable effect of mining on flows in Cottonwood and Rapid Creeks. Mining <br />ceased at the Roadside Portals on December 2, 1999. No further mining from either portal is <br />anticipated in the foreseeable future. <br />Consumptive use will be insignificant in the future because mining and washing of coal has <br />ceased. Consumptive use will be for dust control during reclamation operations. <br /> <br />
