This Bureau of Mines report presents results of a detailed study of water usage in the Wyoming mineral industry, along with projection for the future. In 1964, the mineral industries of Wyoming used 20 billion gallons of new water, nearly all self-supplied, and reused 72 billion gallons, a total usage of 92 billion gallons. Consumption amounted to 2.8 billion gallons. About one-half of the billion gallons of new water was obtained from surface sources and the rest from ground water. Reported costs, covering power and maintenance, for the self-supplied new water at mineral industry operations ranged from less than 1 cent to 20 cents per thousand gallons and averaged 8 cents. At one mineral-related operation, water was hauled by truck to supplement a well supply. The cost was $2.00 per thousand gallons delivered. However, the supplemental requirement was only 10 gpm. Cost figures for the recirculation of water, covering power and maintenance, averaged 2 cents. In terms of water usage, the value of product for the entire industry was $25 per thousand gallons of new water intake and about $180 per thousand gallons consumed. The study revealed that Wyoming has a water deficiency but that the shortage is less severe than in the arid Southwest. Projection of the water needs of the Wyoming mineral industries indicates that the demand for new water will increase from the 20 billion gallons used in 1964 to 25 billion gallons in 1980, a 25-percent increase. The projected new-water requirement for the year 2000 is 40 billion gallons, a 100-percent increase compared with the 1964 figure.
A re-evaluation of the underground minable coal resources in the Muley Canyon sandstone member of the Mancos shale in the Henry Mountains coalfield which includes previously uncalcualted land-use and technical restrictions to the minable coal resource are included. The Henry Mountains contains 875 million tons of potentially minable coal. This 19 page report differs from previous evaluations in that it includes additional coal-bed thickness observations and accounts for common restrictions to the minable coal resource.
This CD contains a 23 page report of an investigation to determine coal resources in Kane County Utah. The research methods and means of qualifying coal as commercially viable, or extractable enough to constitute a resource, are presented in conjunction with the total coal-resource estimation.
This CD contains a 43 page report of research methods and means of qualifying coal as commercially viable in 7 out of 11 coal beds in the study area.
