Therefore, all recorded monitoring events are considered Operational. Monitoring Wells MW-1, MW-2 and MW-3 are located at the coal stockpile/truck dumpRrain loadout area and were drilled during September 1982 to determine the essential hydrologic functions of the North Fork alluvial valley floor. Two of the wells, MW-2 and MW-3, have since been determined to be installed in areas which are no longer classified as alluvial valley floor. (TR-13) There is no baseline collection possible for points initiated after the influence of mining. Figure No. 9
