EXHIBIT K <br /> Climate <br /> The subject site area has a high plain, continental climate. With the mountains to the west, <br /> variations in temperature are wide. In the high plains area, rainfall is light and humidity is low. <br /> The average frost-free period is 172 days. Annual average precipitation is about 14 inches. <br /> In the eastern high plains area, the climate is modified considerably from that expected of a typical <br /> high plain because of the nearby mountains to the west. The winds characteristic of the plains are <br /> reduced somewhat by the shielding effect of the mountains. <br /> Climate data for the Site is assumed to be similar to that of a weather station at Greeley UNC, <br /> Colorado. The Western Regional Climate Center tracks temperature extremes and precipitation <br /> data for this station. The following table includes data that was collected between March 1, 1967 <br /> and December 31, 2008. <br /> GREELEY UNC, COLORADO (053553) SCANNED <br /> Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary <br /> Period of Record: 3/1/1967 to 12/31/2008 <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual <br /> Average Max. 41.3 46.9[5579[6474 73.6 84.0 90.0 87.7 79.4 66.7 51.2 41.9 65.2 <br /> Temperature (F) <br /> Average Min. 15.3[1�[j8[34][4472 52.8 58.3 56.2 46.8 35.5 24.6 16.5 36.0 <br /> Temperature (F) <br /> Average Total 0.48 0.36 1.06 1.75 2.42FI84 1.51 1.33 1.12 1.02 0.75 0.50 14.14 <br /> Precipitation (in.) <br /> Average Total 5.9 4.3 7.]IF5]0 0.9[�[�Folf <br /> 0.7[�9[ 6.8 6.3 39.9 <br /> SnowFall (in.) <br /> Average Snow 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 <br /> Depth (in.) <br /> Percent of possible observations for period of record. <br /> Max.
