Other <br />similar values may include but not limited to, hydrologic, ecologic/biologic diversity, <br />paleontologic, bo[anic, and scientitic study opportunities. <br />Region of Comparison: Varied depending on thc factor considcrcd. <br />Wild and Scenic River Eligibility Report, Grand Junetion Field Office, Colorado 2 4 <br />
