It includes a 2,66 acre piece plus a <br />20 ft. side strip of land from the edge of Colorado State Highway 125 into the <br />general loading area. The boundaries of the lease are shown on Plate 19. The <br />area will only be used to load rail cars. Walden Coal does not plan to stockpile <br />any coal at this site on the ground but will use storgae bins. <br />The only precipitation that will occur at the site will be rain or snow. <br />This area receives only 9.9 inches of precipitation per year (20 year average). <br />The Cumberland Ditch has been abandoned for several years. Jerry Filpi, <br />Soil Conservation Service, Walden, CO, foresees no further use for the abandoned <br />ditch. The Division of Water Resources has no record of any registered wells in <br />the immediate vicinity of the load-out. <br />The slope of the land is 1 to 2 percent from west to east. Any surface <br />drainage from the disturbed area will be towards the east. The disturbed area <br />will not be the entire 2.66 acres, but a smaller strip of land, 50 ft, by <br />approximately 500 ft. <br />
