EXHIBIT K- CLIMATE INFORMATION <br /> The information provided in this Exhibit is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined in Section <br /> 6.4.11 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Construction Material Rules and <br /> Regulations: <br /> Provide a description of the significant climatological factors for the locality. <br /> This property is in a semi-arid continental climate strongly influenced by the Rocky Mountains. The <br /> area is usually warm in the summer with frequent hot days. In winter, periods of very cold weather <br /> are caused by arctic air moving in from the north or northwest. Milder periods occur when westerly <br /> winds are warmed as they move down slope, off of the mountains to the east. <br /> Weather monitoring data is not available from the site. The nearest weather monitoring station with <br /> a recent period of record is at Kersey, CO. Data is collected from the Colorado State University <br /> CoAgMet website. The table below lists the average monthly temperature, and average total <br /> precipitation on a monthly for the period of record from May 1, 1991 to Present. Most of the <br /> precipitation occurs as rainfall during the warmer part of the year with the heaviest rainfalls in the <br /> late spring and early summer. Winter snowfall is frequent but the snow cover usually melts quickly <br /> during the milder periods. <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec <br /> Average Monthly Max 41.8 HHHHE]HHHHHH <br /> Temperature (F) <br /> Average Monthly Min 10.7 H H H 42 51.4 H H 45 H:20]2 :10]5 <br /> Temperature (F) <br /> Mean Total Precipitation 0.13 E <br /> HHHHHHHHH <br /> 0.11 <br /> (in.) <br /> 70 Ranch-Section 25 Sand Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit K- 1 <br />
