~• The drainage was inspected for signs of springs and/or seeps from a point <br />beginning near the Lorence Ellgen livestock pond ( approximate coordinates <br />E-1,389,700, N-411,000) north to the southern boundary of the C.P. Stewart <br />property. As has been presented before, no significant springs or seeps <br />were found during the survey. <br />The gulch is a steeply sided V-drainage in this area with a narrow <br />(12-20') colluvium floor. The geology of the area consists of the <br />outcropping Williams Fork Formation (Mesa Verde Group); and its <br />characteristic lithologic units of interbedded sandstone, siltstor.e, and <br />shales can be viewed along the walls of the entire drainage traversed. <br />The outcropping section seen is slightly dipping at 5-9°. to the northwest <br />• and lies along the southwest limb of the Williams Fork Anticline. <br />C.. <br />On the section of the Bell Rock Gulch examined, no springs are <br />present. A minor seep was noted at the north end of the traverse with no <br />noticeable change in water flow below it. The drainage was flowing at the <br />time of the survey. Several flume readings were taken using a portable <br />cutthroat flume. The reading averaged 7.8 gallons per minute. It appears <br />the flow present 'in the section surveyed is from spring(s) and/or <br />waterwell.(s) north of" the Round Bottom road. Several large livestock <br />ponds are present north of the surveyed section and water can be seen <br />flowing under the road north of the ponds. Lt was recommended by ttr. Rick <br />hliTls that the survey be terminated at the Stewart property line. It <br />. appears that the source of the flow is we1T cver a mile from the area. <br />r However, a further examination of this northern area would be needed to <br />`--•) verify the assumption. <br />(REV. 11/21!83) <br />
