currently the A and G pit mines the H coal seam while the F and Z pits mine the I seam. H pit <br />mined the G seam. The 3rd White Sandstone (G coal and sandstone below) and 2nd White <br />Sandstone (F coal and sandstone below) are monitored at four locations. The Lewis Shale is <br />monitored at one location. The Johnson and Pyeatt Gulch alluvial aquifers are monitored at one <br />site in each of these drainages while the Flume Gulch alluvium is monitored at two locations. The <br />2007 hydrologic monitoring report, Hydro-Engineering, LLC (2008), presents the discussion of the <br />monitoring results through 2007. The table on the pull-out index provides basic well data for all <br />wells monitored in 2008. Wells 81-03A, GE-1, GE-2, GE-3, GLUX-1 and GP-6 were not required <br />to be monitored after the first half of 2006. <br />Springs at Trapper Mine were monitored during 2008 in accordance with the approved <br />monitoring plan. Springs with measured flows of greater than 5 gpm were sampled for full suite <br />water quality parameters. Results of the 2008 spring monitoring are presented in Table B-2 mi <br />Appendix B. <br />Table 1-1 (page 1-4) presents the pit and well dewatering data and volume of water used <br />for dust depression for Trapper Mine for 2008. This data shows that, on an average, approximately <br />15.8 gpm was pumped from the Trapper Mine pits during 2008. Well dewatering was started in <br />September of 2002 in the G pit. The average well pumping rate for 2008 was 32.4 gpm for the G <br />pit well dewatering. This data is useful in interpreting water-level changes and consumptive use. <br />Surface-water flow and quality were monitored at only Flume Gulch (S-1), Johnson, No <br />Name, East Pyeatt, West Pyeatt, Far East Buzzard, Horse, Middle Flume and East Middle Flume <br />drainages during 2008. The Johnson, No Name, Coyote, Ute, Middle Pyeatt, East Pyeatt, Deer, <br />West Pyeatt, Far East Buzzard, Grouse, Sage, Oak, Horse, West Flume, Middle Flume, East Middle <br />Flume, Deal Gulch, East Flume and West Horse Gulch drainages are Trapper's NPDES discharge <br />Trapper Mining Company 1-2 <br />2008 Annual Report
