Springs #26 and #27 : Pratt Canyon (Tables 7 and 18 ) . <br /> Springs in the canyon originate from the interface of shale and <br /> sandstone. Flow ranged from 2 to 3 gpm with pH and conductivity <br /> measured at 8 . 1 to 8 . 2 and 381 to 589 , respectively. <br /> Spring #28 : Sawmill Canyon (Table 19 ) . One spring was <br /> identified in Sawmill Canyon originating from a shale outcrop. <br /> Flow was less than one gpm with pH of 7 .7 and conductivity of <br /> 563. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> With the exception of Santistevan and Wet Canyons, water <br /> encountered during the spring and seep survey is the result of <br /> seepage contributing little, if any, to sustained surface flow. <br /> Water originates from the interfaces of shales, sandstones and <br /> minor coal seams not proposed to be mined by WFC. <br /> Analysis of the water indicates a mineralized condition with <br /> varying quality and quantity, responding directly to amounts of <br /> precipitation received in the drainage . Currently, uses of the <br /> water are for livestock and wildlife with no irrigation or <br /> domestic supply. <br /> -80- <br />
