BEAR COAL COMPANY 1994 AHR <br />Data supplied as per DMG letter dated 12/01/95 <br />Assessment of Hydrologic Impacts <br />The Division asks as part of the required assessment of <br />hydrologic impacts of mining during the year, why does there <br />continue to be no flow in the lower french drain and why is there <br />no flow at spring CR-12? The lower french drain was installed to <br />dewater the toe of the area that slid in 1993. It was installed <br />to drain the toe of the slide if any free water was present. <br />Evidently no free water is available at the toe of the slide <br />since the lower french drain has been dry since it was installed. <br />The limited data available on spring CR-12 indicates it is <br />usually dry. The baseline data in the permit is restricted to <br />two monitoring events 9/93 and 11/93 and both are recorded as <br />dry. <br />The 1994 AHR would assess the hydrologic impacts of mining during <br />the next year which would be 1995. Mining in 1995 is projected <br />to occur with the retreat of the Third West Mains and the <br />development of panels to the south in Section 20. Since there <br />are no water resources in the area to be mined in 1995, there are <br />no projected hydrologic impacts. <br />
