Bowie Resources, LLC April 30, 2008 <br />• Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />2007 Annual Hydrology Report <br />Table 3 contains a listing of the field parameters and their application to the Springs, <br />Streams, Drill Holes and Ponds within the permit boundary. Flow readings for springs <br />and small streams are reported in gallons per minute. Stream and river flows are <br />reported in cubic feet per second. <br />Table 4 contains local monthly precipitation data for the year. This data is available <br />from the Internet at www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/Climsmco.html. <br />Table 5 contains a listing of all monitoring points, with descriptions of their locations and <br />a reference to the Monitoring Point Figure that contains this year's monitoring data. A <br />notation of whether a chart is included is provided in this table. <br />Monitoring point figures follow this introduction. Each Monitoring Point has an individual <br />table which tabulates the annual data collection and reports Minimum, Maximum, <br />Average and Baseline data. A reference in each footnote explains the period used for <br />baseline data. <br />Flow data for the North Fork of the Gunnison River is obtained from the USGS from a <br />website http://nwis-colo.cr.usgs.gov/historic.html. This flow reading is obtained <br />telemetrically from a station near Somerset, CO and is reflective of upper river flows <br />only. This monitoring point is identified by the USGS as 09132500. <br />Flow data for the Fire Mountain Canal is obtained from the Division of Water <br />Resources, Division IV, 1540 E. Niagara Street, Montrose, Colorado 81402. This flow <br />is representative of the upper and lower flows. <br />Monitoring point identifiers near the mine portals are historic and follow no specific <br />naming convention. Monitoring points located in areas monitored for the PR-04 permit <br />revision follow a convention where the first letter(s) designates a water source type, <br />such as "S" for Spring or "SP" for Spring and Pond. The numeral(s) following the first <br />letter designate what Section the water source is located, for instance, SP34-2 would <br />be a spring and pond in Section 34. The numeral separated with a dash indicates an <br />index number for that point. SP34-2 would be the second monitoring point found in <br />Section 34. <br />CDPS Monitoring Points <br />DMRs are submitted quarterly to the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment with copies to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and are <br />included herein by reference. <br /> <br />3 <br />
