It is our opinion that precipitation penetrates the 1ava
Poison formation through cracks and fissures, but the Raton
Formation is solid and therefore forces the flows to surface.
The point of surfacing being the plane of the Poison and Raton
Formations. Precipitation onto Fishers Peak and the landslide
areas penetrate the formations rapidly creating a water dome.

The basis criteria involves sizing a system utilizing present
collection lines to supply the future water needs for Starkville
of about 30,000 gallons per day.

Standard practices endorsed by American Waterworks Association
will be used for pipelines, tanks and valves. Fire hydrants will
be placed per the best fit of fire protection equipment and fire
insurance underwriters.

The treatment facility is proposed for design of extreme
turbidity counts followed by chlorination, both per the Colorado
State Department of Health.

The low overflow collection dams are to be structurally safe
for the flows of the drainage basin.

Conceptual plans of the proposed facilities are included
on Sheet 5.

There are no rights-of-way problems for this project except
for a low arch or gravity dam for major raw water storage. In
this case, the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company would need to be
consulted for ROWand added easements.
