draws are normally dry, but can run during heavy rains. At times,the water flowing down <br /> these side draws has turned and run down the road, causing damage to the road. <br /> ri / -1 1.• <br /> ... -'Nth Pi: / <br /> Wft Flo <br /> y, <br /> Ik <br /> ph <br /> 4 / <br /> / % <br /> f" 2 <br /> n <br /> L � <br /> Figure 9 Sections of Road Prone to Flooding <br /> Removal of vegetation within the quarry operations area will increase the frequency and <br /> severity of flooding within the lower canyon,resulting in even greater risks to blockage of <br /> portions of the road during heavy rains. Figure 10 presents a view of lower Little Turkey <br /> Creek Canyon using Google Earth, looking towards the east from the quarry operations area. <br /> The white line is Little Turkey Creek Road. The pink area is the proposed North Pit. The <br /> green area is the proposed South Pit. The yellow line outlines the lower canyon. As can be <br /> seen,the canyon is quite narrow to the east of the proposed quarry operations area. Given <br /> the topography of the canyon with its steep canyon walls, flooding within the lower Little <br /> Turkey Creek canyon might be as severe as flooding experienced in other areas of Colorado <br /> where vegetation was destroyed by wildfires. <br />
