Introduction <br />According to Stipulation No. 29, Permit No. C-1981-038, the operator submits the following <br />Annual Mine Inflow Report for the period of July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. <br />Mining Locations and Proiections <br />Mining operations at Bowie No. 1 Mine have ceased due to market conditions and coal quality <br />issues. It is highly unlikely mining operations will resume. <br />Mine Inflow <br />The, underground Mine Inflow Study at the Bowie No. 1 Mine was not conducted during 2008, as <br />the mine was inactive and inaccessible. <br />No water was discharged from the mine to the surface during the 2007-2008 reporting period. <br />The operator has no plans to discharge water from within the mine to the surface during the <br />2008-2009 reporting period. No water has been discharged from the mine to date. <br />Water Importation and Balance <br />There was no production of coal from the Bowie No. 1 Mine from July 1, 2007 through June 30, <br />2008. Production estimates for the following twelve month period remain at zero. Historically, <br />mine water importation is estimated from recorded flows and the number on tons mined. With <br />no coal production to base water usage upon, the operator submits only evaporative loss from <br />ponds and dust suppression for the East Mine Reclamation project for the consumptive use <br />during the water year. Evaporative loss is based upon the assumption that all of the ponds have <br />full dead pool storage during the entire reporting period. <br />These water quantities are listed as: <br />Acre Feet <br />Dust Suppression on Bowie No. 1 Roadway' ............................................................................0.90 <br />Bathhouse Consumption2 ...........................................................................................................0.00 <br />Evaporative Loss from Ponds .....................................................................................................4.60 <br />Silo Usage ...................................................................................................................................0.00 <br />Total water usage 5.50 <br />Hydrologic Impacts <br />Historically, there was virtually no water inflow into the mine. Therefore, the hydrologic impact <br />caused by the mining operation is either non-existent or not measurable. <br />Conclusions <br />No mine discharge and minimal importation of water is anticipated during the 2008 - 2009 <br />reporting period. Therefore, the quality and quantity of surface water adjacent to the mine will <br />not be affected. The operator will continue to submit the Annual Subsidence and Hydrology <br />Report which will summarize all subsidence and hydrology data. <br />East Mine Reclamation <br />• 2Bathhouse has been dismantled.
