<br /> <br />components (figure 5), which are about a mile and a <br />half apart. Both are on dissected dip slopes that <br />drain southwestward at gradients of 700-1,000 ft/mi. <br />The western tract, the largest of the two, is traversed <br />by ephemeral streams that head on the drainage divide <br />between Fish and Elk Creeks and drain generally south- <br />eastward to Fish Creek at gradients of BO to 260 ft/mi. <br />The eastern tract has no well-drained stream channels <br />and drains directly to nearby Trout Creek. <br />Foidel Creek is tributary to Middle Creek which in turn <br />enters Trout Creek about 0.3 mile northwest of the <br />eastern tract of C-22676 (figure 5). both Foidel and <br />Middle Creeks drain coal areas and are intermittent <br />streams that have insufficient ground-water discharge <br />to maintain perennial base flow. Trout Creek heads on <br />the Flat Tops Area in Routt National Forest and flows <br />generally northxard, entering the Yampa River near <br />Milner, Colorado. Trout Creek is perennial and has a <br />base flow of 10-15 efs (cubic feet per second). Fish <br />Creek, which is also perennial with a base flox of 1-2 <br />efs, heads on the Dunkley Flat Tops zest of the Trout <br />Creek headwaters and enters Trout Creek about half a <br />mile east of C-22676 (west) (figure 5). <br />No long-term precipitation data are available for the <br />36 <br />
