2.04.5 General Description of Geology and Hydrology <br />The erratic location of these perched groundwater occurrences, low transmissivity and <br />permeability, and the absence of development and exploitation diminishes the <br />possibility of being used as a groundwater resource in the foreseeable future. <br />The Book Cliffs Coal Field area is considered a desert and only a few springs exist <br />within the coal bearing strata. Most of the mines in the Book Cliffs Coal field are dry <br />because most of them have been developed above the local stream beds. The <br />McClane Canyon Mine encountered water because it is below the local stream bed. <br />PR -02 2.04-7 10/12 <br />
