• Spring #12: Apache Canyon (Table 2). This seep originates fran <br />the interface of shale and sandstone. Flow was measured each of the six <br />month ranging from less than 1 to 5 gallons per minute (gpa). Flow was <br />absorbed back into the alluvium within 100 yards of the source durirg every <br />observation. Asa result, this seep is not a significant source of surface <br />flow. Conductivity of the water was stable, ranging fratt 718 to 761 while <br />pH rarged from 6.3 to 8.2. Use of the water is limited to livestock and <br />wildlife watering. <br />Spring #13: Apache Canyon (Table 3). This seep originates from <br />the interface of shale and sandstone. Flow was measured on four of the six <br />samplings ranging from less than 1 to 3 ggn. The flow was absorbed into <br />the alluvium within 50 yards of the source during each of the three <br />observations. As a result, this seep is not a significant source of <br />surface flow. Water quality measurenents of conductivity ranged fmn 700 <br />to 740 while pH ranged from 6.1 to 7.7. Use of the seepage is limited to <br />livestock and wildlife watering. <br />• <br />Spring #14: Apache Canyon (Table 4). This is a developed spring <br />originating from an upper coal seam or interface between coal and shale or <br />sandstone. This spring was developed by lessees grazing the property <br />approximately 10 years ago. Flow could not be measured because of the <br />associated pond at the site, however, water levels in the pond appeared to <br />be constant over the six month period. This spring does not contribute to <br />Apache Canyon stream flow because of an embankment creating the pond <br />separates the two. Conductivity ranged from 562 to 807 while pH ranged <br />fran 7.6 to 8.9. Use of the water is limited to livestock and wildlife <br />watering. <br />Spring #15: Ciruela Canyon (Table 5). Spring #15 is a minor area <br />of seepage from the interface of shale and sandstone below a coal seam <br />outcrop. No flow was measured during monitoring period, however, the area <br />was damp on two of the six months. Water quality was measured on one <br />occasion with conductivity at 1054 and pH at 6.7. This spring is not <br />• significant to surface flow and only has value for livestock and wildlife <br />watering in the spring of the year. <br />2.04-29 <br />
