The average CN of 72 is based on the majority of <br />the drainage basin being very porous gravel. The 35% ponding percentage is based on the fact that <br />there are numerous depressions and small ponds throughout the drainage area before the runoff ever <br />reaches the Ponds. <br />Ponds #3 and #4 have a surface area of 1.4 ac and 1.18 ac respectively. This is a total of 2.58 ac. <br />Since the minimum depth available at any one time is 1.5 feet above the normal water level, the <br />ponds capacity is 3.87 ac -ft, therefore, the capacity is more than adequate not even considering the <br />volume of the additional ponds downstream. <br />All disturbed areas north of the drainage area into Ponds #3 and #4 are trapped by the large berm of <br />over 5.0 feet height at the western edge of the disturbed area. In addition, the gravel excavation has <br />left most of the area depressed, which will hold a capacity of well over a 1000 year event, since the <br />Alma Placer Mine 1115 20 <br />
