<br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company Exhibit U <br />Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br /> 15 <br />11 CLIMATE <br />Information on the climate at the site is contained in Exhibit K. Generally, the climate at the Site <br />is characterized by a semi-arid, high mountain environment with relatively short summers and <br />longer, but moderate winters. Climatological data are available from four stations: a historic station <br />referred to as the Victor station with a data record from February 1966 through February 1976, a <br />station established by CC&V in the vicinity of Bateman Creek with a data record since 1994, and <br />the Rigi station with a data record since 1999. In addition, there is a seasonal rain gauge located <br />in Grassy Valley that collects precipitation data during the warmer months. Gaps within the <br />climatic data have been filled using climate records from the Western Regional Climate Center. <br />A water balance is included with the Valley Leach Facility 2 Phase 3 Detailed Design report, <br />included as Appendix 1.
