• (2) The Division may for good cause shown request additional <br /> climatological data as deemed necessary to ensure compliance with <br /> the requirements of 2.04.8. <br />(3) Permit applications may comply with these requirements <br />regarding seasonal variability of climatological factors without the <br />collection of data covering 12 consecutive months if accurate statistical <br />procedures, approved by the Division, are used to extrapolate from a data <br />base covering a shorter period of time. <br />RSSPONSB: <br />The closest active reporting stations to the proposed permit <br />area are at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, which is about 10 miles <br />northeast of the proposed permit area and at Hayden, Colorado which <br />is about 15 miles northwest of the proposed permit area. <br />Approaimately SO years of meteorological data have been collected by <br />the Dnited States Department of Co®erce in Steamboat Springs, while <br />nearly 52 years of similar data have been collected in Hayden. Data <br />from both locations are presented below, in order to provide the <br />best information available for the proposed permit area and to <br />indicate the variability in climatological characteristics that may <br />be eapected within short distances. <br />General descriptions of the climate of western Colorado are <br />• difficult due to the rugged topography of the region. Because of <br />eztremes in elevation, large variations in climate are likely. <br />2.04-57 <br />
