W . T ROAT AP .REEK <br />Two ponds in the West Roatcap Creek drainage (refer to Table 5 and Map No. 4-1) were <br />monitored during 1996. The ponds were monitored quarterly for water levels and field <br />pazameters if they were discharging. The ponds were not accessible during the first <br />quarter monitoring because of the lingering snowpack. A water quality sample was <br />collected from both of the West Roatcap Creek ponds in May and the results were <br />consistent with baseline information collected in the past but flow rates were elevated. <br />No evidence of mine impacts was noted. The West Roatcap Creek ponds were physically <br />intact thought 1996 and showed no subsidence effects. No retreat mining was conducted <br />neaz any ponds during 1996 in the West Roatcap Creek drainage. <br />STEVENSGULCP <br />Two ponds were monitored within the Stevens Gulch drainage (refer to Table 5 and Map <br />No. 4-1). Ponds' 85 and 13-7 were monitored quarterly for water levels and field <br />parameters. Pond 13-7 had no measurable discharge, however, Bowie Resources was <br />able to collect a water sample. A water quality sample for Pond 85 was obtained in May. <br />• Pond 85 was undermined by Panel B in 1992. Pond 13-7 was also undermined during <br />]992. No subsidence impacts or other irregularities were evident at either of these <br />locations during 1996. <br />SiIRFACE WATER MONITORING STATIONS -SPRINGS <br />East Roatcaps'reek <br />Two springs were monitored in the East Roatcap Creek drainage (refer to Table 5 <br />and Map No. 4-1) during 1996. The springs were not accessible during the fast <br />quarter monitoring because of the lingering snowpack. Spring 30 had measurable <br />flow in May, August and November. Water quality parameters taken in May were <br />consistent with previous sampling at this site. Spring 30 was encompassed by the <br />angle-of--draw of Panel Y during May of 1993. Spring 10-10 also had no <br />measurable flow in May, August and November therefore, no water quality <br />parameters were taken. Spring 10-10 was encompassed by the angle-of--draw of <br />Panel Y during September 1993 and retreat mining was done under it in 1994. <br />Subsidence impacts were not apparent at either of these locations during 1996. <br /> <br />Page -5- <br />
