1 <br />Honeywood Coal Company <br />1993 Annual Hydrologic Report <br />' Page 4 <br />BW-2 is located in the northwest corner of the permit area. This <br />' well has not contained measurable quantities of water during <br />thirteen monitoring quarters, from the fourth quarter of 1990 <br />through 1993. <br />' BW-3 is located southeast of the mining area. This well has <br />contained measurable quantities of water during two of thirteen <br />calendar quarters, from the fourth quarter of 1990 through 1993. <br />The well was noted as dry during 1993. <br />Consumptive Use <br />' Consumptive use of water at the mine is for dust control. During <br />the year a water truck obtained water from Naturita Creek as <br />necessary for dust control. No records were maintained of the <br />amount of water used for dust control. <br />Anticipated Impact <br />' There was no recorded flow of surface water from the permit or <br />adjacent area into either Naturita Creek or the San Miguel River <br />' during the year. Bramiers Draw, Section 33 Creek and Broad Canyon <br />were all noted as dry during the year. There was no discharge from <br />the sediment ponds during the year and all of the minor surface <br />run-off from the mine was contained in the ponds. As anticipated <br />' the mine pits did not encounter any ground water during the year. <br />Based upon the above factors, it is unlikely that the mine <br />operation had any impact on the hydrologic balance of the area. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
