• COAL. MEMBER OF MESAVERI~E <br />Well DH-65 is in the East Roatcap (see Map No. 4-1) drainage and overlies the 1° East <br />Mains developed in 1994. This location was measured three times for water levels during <br />1996. During the 3RD quarter of 1996, Bowie Resources was unable to determine water <br />levels due to an obstruction in DH-65. Bowie Resources. Due to this obstruction, DH-65 <br />will be removed from further monitoring. Well DH-60 is also in the East Roatcap <br />drainage and is at the end of Panel H. This well has a 1,040' long tube in it to measure <br />depth to water. This location was measured three times for water levels during 1996 and <br />the water level was apparently below the h~be during all monitoring events. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />Hydrology monitoring was extended into the norther portion of the East Roatcap Creek <br />drainage during 1993 to fit newly acquired lease azeas and revised mine plans. Mining <br />during 1996 was confined to the western thick coal pod. Advance mining was done in 1 <br />Right. Advance and retreat mining in 2 Right Panel and advance and retreat mining in 2 <br />• '/~ Right Panel. Hydrology monitoring conducted during 1996 did not show mine related <br />impacts were occurring. Most of monitored locations exhibited chazacteristics and <br />patterns similar to previously observed data. Water quality remains good overall and no <br />physical impacts have been noted at any of the monitored locations that would suggest <br />adverse effects associated with mining operations a the Bowie No. 1 Mine. <br /> <br />Page -8- <br />
