lacking. The proposed acreage is located in the Canadian River <br />• <br /> watershed, There are no live streams or •w•ater impoundments within <br /> the tract. Two intermittent streams bisect the tract. One is <br /> Eush Draw and the other is a tributary to Eolton Draw. There are <br /> Lwo stock watering ponds located on Eush Draw approximately 1/2 <br /> mile northeast of the tract boundary. <br /> As part of the E`LRIA Study, USCS established a surface <br /> water monitoring station in :+'illi::ms Draw, located approximately <br /> 1 mile north of the tract. It is similar in size and type to Bush <br /> Draw. The measured discharge through h'illiams Draw during the <br /> spring snow melt period ranged from 1 to 2.5 cubic feet per <br /> second. The sediment concentration during that time varied <br /> between 29 and 31 parts per million. The water quality information <br />• was not aailable, but was thought to meet state and federal standards. <br /> 3. Rater Use - Pfost of the water produced on the tract is either <br /> absorbed into the soil to support plant growth or to recharge the <br /> aquifer. Runoff water flows either into the Canadian River or is <br /> collected in storage facilities for livestock and wildlife watering. <br /> A limited amount of water is used by the mining operations for <br />_ ~ dust control. No domestic or municipal water supplies are within~~ .. <br /> the area. <br /> 4. Flood Plain - The proposed lease area does not lie in a designated <br /> flood plain or flood hazard area susceptible to a 50- or 100-year <br /> event. <br /> 5. 1'a ter Rights - There are no live streams within the proposed lease <br /> tract and therefore no surface water rights will exist.
