Spring #13: Apache Canyon (Table 3). This seep originates from the interface of <br /> shale and sandstone. Flow was measured on five of the seven samplings ranging from less <br /> than 1 to 3 gpm. The flow was absorbed into the alluvium within 50 yards of the source <br /> during each of the three observations. As a result, this seep is not a significant source of <br /> surface flow. Water quality measurements of conductivity ranged from 700 to 740 while <br /> pH ranged from 6.1 to 7.7. Use of the seepage is limited to livestock and wildlife <br /> watering. <br /> Spring #14: Apache Canyon (Table 4). This is a USGS developed spring originating <br /> from an upper coal seam or interface between coal and shale or sandstone. Flow could <br /> not be measured because of the associated pond at the site, however, water levels in the <br /> pond appeared to be constant over the monitoring period. This spring does not contribute <br /> to Apache Canyon stream flow because of an embankment creating the pond separates the <br /> two. Conductivity ranged from 562 to 807 while pH ranged from 7.6 to 8.9. Use of the <br /> water is limited to livestock and wildlife watering. <br /> Spring #15: Cireula Canyon (Table 5). Spring #15 is a minor area of seepage from <br /> the interface of shale and sandstone below a coal seam outcrop. No flow was measured <br /> during monitoring period, however, the area was damp on two of the samplings. Water <br /> quality was measured on one occasion with conductivity at 1054 and pH at 6.7. This <br /> spring is not significant to surface flow and only has value for livestock and wildlife <br /> watering in the spring of the year. <br /> Spring #16: Cireula Canyon (Table 6). Flow originates from the interface of shale <br /> and sandstone at Spring #16 and was measurable on six of the seven samplings ranging <br /> from less than 1 to 3 gpm. On all occasions, flow was absorbed into the alluvium within <br /> 100 yards of the source and does not appear to contribute significantly to surface flow. <br /> Conductivity and pH ranged from 780 to 984 and 6.4 to 8.0, respectively. The spring does <br /> provide livestock and wildlife water, however, is not that important due to the location of <br /> a stock pond 200 yards upstream. <br /> Spring #17: North of Cireula Canyon (Table 7). This is a minor seep from the <br /> interface of shale and sandstone located in a small canyon on the north side of <br /> Highway 12. Flow was measured on six of the seven samplings at 1 or less gpm. <br /> Conductivity ranged from 820 to 1148 and pH ranged from 5.9 to 8.7. In all cases the flow <br />
