This percentage is <br />based on the source of the salt as being derived from the mass of <br />sediment and rock that is under transport. Both solutioning and <br />mechanical breakdown of the salt crystals is taken into account <br />by this method. <br /> <br />The present rangeland conditions and the future condition models <br />for the watershed are developed using field observation and <br />experience to apply state-of-the-art resource evaluation <br />procedures. <br /> <br />PARTICIPANTS: Resident Team - <br />James Harte, Hydrologist, BLM, Moab <br />William Thompson, Range Conservationist, BLM, <br />Moab <br /> <br />Permanent Team - <br />George Pyper, Hydrologist, USGS, Salt Lake City <br />Thomas Roberts, Range Conservationist, BLM, <br />Salt Lake City <br />Robert Rasely, Geologist, SCS, Salt Lake City <br /> <br />LOCATION: Sagers Wash Watershed is located in the Upper Colorado <br />River Basin, West Water Canyon Sub-basin. Interstate 1-70 <br />transects the watershed between the towns of cisco and Thompson, <br />Utah. The watershed is located in east-central Utah and extends <br />from the Book cliffs to a direct confluence with the Colorado <br />River near Dewey, Utah. <br /> <br />The watershed is located on the following USGS Topographic <br />Quadrangle maps: <br /> <br />cisco springs - 7.5 Minute, dated, 1970 (revised 1987) <br />cisco - 15 minute, dated, 1958 <br />Sego canyon - 15 minute dated, 1963 <br />Thompson - 15 minute dated, 1958 <br /> <br />Moab - 1:100,000 scale USGS Topographic Quadrangle <br />Westwater - 1:100,000 scale USGS Topographic Quadrangle <br /> <br />Moab - 1:250,000 scale USGS Topographic Quadrangle <br />Grand Junction - 1:250,000 scale USGS Topographic Quadrangle <br /> <br />DRAINAGE AREA DATA: Sagers Wash Watershed has an area of <br />approximately 155,085 acres or approximately 242 square miles. <br />The watershed rises from the Roan and Book Cliffs in east-central <br />Utah and drains to the southeast directly into the Colorado River <br /> <br />2 <br />
