The average monthly temperatures range from 24 <br />degrees Fahrenheit in January to 71 degrees Fahrenheit in <br />July. (See Attachment $2). The length of the growing <br />season in the Glenwood Springs area is 143 days. <br />Air quality is excellent in the Glenwood Springs <br />area because there are no industrial plants and few activities <br />that produce airborne particulates. The only significant <br />air pollution that would result from the operation of the <br />proposed limestone quarry would be the introduction of <br />particulate matter into the air resulting from the blasting, <br />crushing and truck haul operations. The employment of such <br />dust suppression measures as frequent sprinkling of the <br />roads and other rock handling areas with water, and enclosing <br />critical parts of the crusher operation can minimize the <br />particulate problem. <br />Climatic differences got the four dr;rvyrf areas <br />appear to be negligble. The effects on air quality would <br />favor alternatives 4 and P because they utilize much shorter <br />unpaved haul roads. All other activities at the quarry <br />sites that would produce particulates will be equal. <br />The effects of the project on climate and air <br />quality would favor alternatives 4 and P over alternatives <br />2 and 3. <br />3. Geology, topography and minerals. <br />The areas that would be affected by all the <br />alternatives of this project are located along the southerly <br />flank of the Tahite River uplift, a broad domal structure <br />overlain with sedimentary formations. The quarry sites are <br />
