Most of the water supply development has been limited almost entirely to surface vrater. In general, what records are available are the result of information gathering on specific. problems, mostly gas and oil wells, rather than as pa5t of a continuous data-gathering program. Previous experiences at local area mines.are the best data sources- The Wasatch Plateau has been characterized as a groundwater recharge area. The high elevations with the resulting large snowfalls combine with the generally flat profile of the plateau in enhancing infilLration of water. Despite this, practically all precipitation is consumed at or near the place of fall by sublimation and evapo-transpiration or becomes overland run-off. The water that does infiltrate into the ground generally discharges within a short distance as springs or seeps' Only about 4 percent of precipitation is estimated to become groundwater recharge (Price and Arhow,'741 The groundwater yield from the Wasatch Plateau strata is usually very low. For the most part, the strata consist of consolidated and semi* -consolidated sedimentary rock which have low hydraulic conductivities and specific yields between .Z and Z.O percent. Yields to individual wells are generally less than 50 gprn. Higher yields might be avai lable H/C 4-27^84 from the Star Point Sandstone stratum or from local Perched water zones. Ordinarily, however, perched water bodies could not sustain large Perenn- ial yields (Price and Wadclell, '73) . 7 -L.2 PIINE PLAN AND ADJACENT AREAS Groundwater for the area seems to be derived from snowmelt. The recharge occurs on the plateau top wi.th the snowmelt infiltrating the str,rta through f aulLs anC r:ock f r.lctures. In orcler to determine the source of recharge; samples of water from rain, snow, springs, seeps and mines were analyzecl for concentrations of deuterium. The results of the analyses showed that deuterium concentrations were similar in snor+1 l::'sing and mine water but were different in rain water (snow and spring values: -120 to -154, rain values: -54 to -85; Danielsorr'81). See Table 7-l- Recharge for the Bear Canyon area comes from water percolation and infittration on Gentry Mountain and Ridge. The downward vertical movement of water is commonly impeded by low permeability beds of shale and mud- stone in the North Horn, Price River, and Blackhawk Formations. Much of the'recharge from snowmelt in the higher parts of the region is discharged by a large number of springs close to the original recharge areas. The water is clischarged by springs and seep$ where the 1ow permeability rocks outcrop at the land surface n particularly along the sides of the many deep canyons' walls. Groundwater generally moves from areas of recharge in the higher parts of the region in a southerly direction to areas of discharges.

AQUTqERS or adjacent The only regionally recharged aquifer in the mine plan for areas is the Star point*Blackhawk aquifer. This aquifer is the source in the the Bear Canyon Spring and most of the large perennial springs (see vicinity. According to Mr. Bruce N. Kaliser, State Hydrologist vicinity of the Appendix 7-A) , what is happening with the aquifer in the on Gentry mine is ', . . . to the north where principal,ly the snow accumulates water table MoUntain, there is a recharge that is vertical clown to the channels through the Blackhawk, and there is a recharge also from those joint and fault which are from those drainages rvhich are lying along the travels bed. That vertical migration then reaches the Star Point and where lateratly along shear zones, prominent joint or faults and emerges vrell topography tlissects the formation. I think all this is happening below ttre mine.tt locality Mr. Kaliser also mentioned, "I dontt believe that at that and so (Bear Canyon Mine) there is precipitation recharging the aguiferr the dis- r am gf the opinion that the mining operation will not affect charge on the spring {Bear Canyon Spri'ng}." the The water in the aquifer is mainly used indirectly where it is for the whole supply source for numerous springs.

Open-file Report S1-539 states that: the water "The effects of underground coal mining on resorlrr..:es of the studrz area mainly are clepenrlent on the the magnitUcle t:tild il re;rl ;rmount of mine dlewi'tl-er.:Lng "rnri extent of mine-related land subsidellce...,Where subsidence has not been extensive and where watei-bearing zones that overlie the Star Point-Blackhawk aquifer are perched, it is to unlikely that mine dewatering induces greater recharge the groundwater system. Neither is it likely under these issue from the conditions that the flow of springs that - perched zones or the rette of natural downward feakage into the Star Point-Blackhawk aquifer are affectecl by mine dewatering,... ft is unlikely that mine dewatering in the study area has had any adverse effect on the chemical quality of the groun,Cwater. " The Rear Canyon Mine is a prime example of a mine with little is is subsidence ancl little'mine dewatering' and what dewatering there follow- from perched water zones. In addition Mr. Kaliser expressecl the ing: I'rn brief r Hy conclusion is that it is highly unlikely that the mine plan as presented to me by the Co-Op Company woulcl interfere with the quantily or quality of any of those springs, particularly the one in question, the Bear Canyon Spring. " 7.l_,3.l_ MINE DEuIATERTNG Water enter-i-nq the mine will be stored in an unclerground tank and utilizecl for dust cont'rol on the roads and surface coal facilities and for H/C 4-27 -84 the mine bathhouse, Co-Op I'lining Company possesses water rights for this purpose at the Trail Canyon portal and currently has an application before the State Water Rights Division to change the point of diversion to the Bear Canyon portal. If it becones necessary to discharge the minewater other than as noted. above it will be discharged to the sedimentation ponds. Co-Op Mining will- monitor these discharges fox quantity and quality. 7 . L. 3 . 2 MITICATION AND CO}IIROI, PLANS An agreement between Huntington City and Co-Op Mining Company has been established to replace to the City any lost of culinary water from the Bear Canyon Spring, either in quality or quantity, due to mining operations, even though mining is highly unlikely to affect this spring. Appendix 7*B contains a copy of this agreement between Huntington City and Co-Op l4ining Companyl the event that rCo-Op Mining would need to replace water to Huntington City, the Company presently owns 300+ shares in the tluntington-Cleveland frrigation Company and will purchase additional shares at some future date if necessary. fn addition, Co-Op Mining Company carries liability insurance that includes coverage of water wells and springs (see Appendix 7-C, 7. 1-.3. 3 GROUNDWATERMONITORtrI'IG PLANS H/C 4-27 -84 If during mine operations, an inflow of groundwater is encountered from a point source with a sustained quantity of 1 gpm or greater over a 30*day periodr a regular monitoring point of this groundwaier witl be maintained, lulonitorinq will be on a monthly basis.

(liote fig. for the present stream configuration and projected after reclamation). ?. To construct srn;ilI holding ponds along the channel util-izing native materials. The actuaL methodology is to incorporate ? logs approxinatel-y 10 to 14rr in cliameter, trench into the bank t bacli approxirnate ly 1O on both si des of the creek channe1 , securt,3the 1ogs together in a sta.cl;ed manner r'rith 36r, anchor bo1ts, buried for approximately 1O feet rsith approximately J6" of fill neterial decreasing to oil a,s the otream ch;urnel is approached. in 18tt wide by 5r,deep notch cut along the torr of the upper log in the center of the creek channel, to sseat€ a centralized epill--rvay.

Then by utilizing a backhoe, a pit approximately J' in diameter should be dug at the fal1 line of the spillwey and lincd with large rock ?t +. The log-pond configuration should be repeated at approximately 50 t intenrals along the course of the creel', channel to create a stepped configuration a]-ong the area of disturbance, The intent of the holding ponds created by the log-rock d,i'rn is to fill with sediment arrd minimiae the down streari: migration ! .-! .' -,1 -, nd v rvu i JUit of this potentially detrimental source of silt and convert it into a potentially beneficial, enriched, grovth media. to facilitate the enlargement and establishment of rirrarian veget;rtion.

The nesults of that sunvey ane as f ol lows: (1) Hydnologic Bafance: There are no seeps and/or springs above the anea of the coa I beds. No sunf ace waten was observed other than Bear Cneek wh ich I ies beyond the potential area of subsidence. (21 Timben: There is no manketable timber within the area and the tenra i n is so steep as to pnecI ude the estab I ish- ment and/ar hanvest of such.

Potential lmpacts No negat ive impacts to nenewab le resounces are ant icipated othen than potent iaf impacts to wi ldlife. Mr. Larry Dalton, Resource Analyst Utah Division of Wildlife Resou!ces and the Statet s foremost au thori ty on poten t i a I impacts of subs idence on wi ldl ife, inspected the site on June 18, t 984. The results of that i nvest i gat ion i n part ane as fol Iows: Considening the absence of springr waten sources, the negat ive poten t ia I impacts of subs idence w i th in the Bean Can yon Permi t Anea could easily be offset by potential positive aspects. On the negative side: Loss of niparian area and/or waten sources is of gneatest concern, fol lowed by loss of vegetat ion f rom methane gas leak ing to the surf ace f rom an undergnound wonks. Consideri ng the lack of niparian area on waten sounces above the coal seam, this concenn is not warnanted. Secondly, Co-Op has never encountered methane gas underground so thene is little concern nelative to potential vegatation loss, and last, the loss of nests due to escarpment failune. On the positive side: The tension f nactunes nesulting from subsidence along the steep side hills ane fnequently utilized by big game as movement corridors,. The fractures and r-ubble pnovide escape cover fon a variety of wildl ife species as well -A Jl.ji{ i ico4 as additional habitat fon bunnowing and denning animals. While thene is concenn oven the potential loss of nests as a result of escarpment failune, there is also a potential fon additional nesting sites to be cneated thnough this gravitational sheaning of esca npmen t su rf aces . ?

The equations used in the Hydro plus III SCS hydrograph program are 'r listed this section , . z. s .2 Diversion stnrctures . The para:neters that rrere used are as follows: Basin Area the areas where calculated, using a planimeter, from those outlined on plate 7-S. Basin Curve Nr:mber this SCS runoff curve number was estimated using "A Guide to Hydrologic Analysis Using SCS Methods", Section 5. This section is included in the reference section. The soil of the mine plan area is best described by soil group rrCrr. For the undisturbed areas the land use description is "woods or forest land" and the hydrologic condition "fair". Using these description a curve number of "73t was obtained. For disturbed areas the culrre number *82r was used. 24-Hour Precipitation the precipitation amounts for the various storm frequencies came from E. ArIo Richardson's "Estimated Return Period for Short-Duration Precipitation in Utah", the Hiawatha area. Average Basin Slope the slopes of the various areas outlined on Plate 7-5 were derived by dividing the total change in elevation by the hydralic length. H/c 6-2t-84 Hydralic Length this length, also from plate'I-5, is the length from the area outlet or mouth to the divide or point of highest elevation. Basin Lag this value was computed by the computer program with the computer using a minimum of L5 minutes. The hydrograph reservoir routing program used the appropriate runoff hydrograph routed through the appropriate sedimentation pond, rArt or rrB' . Pond capacity Per elevation and spill way capacity were determined from the cross sections and criteria shown on prates 7-2 and 7-9. From the parameters listed above, the computer program was able to generate nrnoff hydrographs. From these hydrographs the peak or maximum flow was used, in the sizing of the ditches. For sizing the ditches and culverts the parameters used are as follows: Ditch Depth various ditch depths were tried, in 3" increments, until a depth was found that would handle the the maximum flow. Culvert Diameter the diameters rrere obtained by field measurement, unless noted other:wise. If the flow was larger than could be handled by the culvert a check dam 2t high of rip-rap is used to develop headwater for maximum flow through the culvert, excess flow continues down the ditch Manning Coefficient the coefficients c€rme from Van Te Chow's rrOpen-Channel Hydralicsr" For corrugated metal pipes and flumes, n=.023; for natural channels-straight, fuIl stager ro pools with weeds and stones, n=.035. Slope for ditches the total change in elevation was divided by the total length' both values were obtained, from Plate 7-I. For culverts the slope was obtained from field measurements. H/c 6-2t-84 To determine the headwater necessary for maximum flow through the various culverts the orifice computer program was run for the different size culverts being used in the mine plan area. The equations used in the program are listed on the individual printouts. The parameters supplied the programs are as follows r D diameter of culvert size being considered. C the ooefficient of contraction for orifices was obtained from King and Brater!s "Handbook of Hydralics". U\lC, 783.27 Pnime FanTtand The app licant has not completely addressed th is nequirement.

In the event that Co-Op Mining would need to replace water to Huntington City, the Company presently owrls 300+ shares in the Iluntington-Cleveland frrigation Company and will purchase additional shares at some future date if necessary. fn addition, Co-Op Mining Company carries liability insurance that includes coverage of water wells and springs (see Appendix 7-C) . 7. ].. 3.3 GROUNDWATERMONITORII'IG PLANS HlC 4-27 -84 the results of those measure- selected springs- Tables 7-4 and 7-5 list and for adjacenL sPrings ments ancl analysis for the Bear Canyon Spring general locations of sPrings. ) that were analyzed.
