• cTDROLOGY <br />Surface Water Hydrology <br /> <br />The Joint Venture lease tracts lie in three surface water drainage <br />basins. As shown on plate III, only a very small portion of the <br />lease in section 26 T20S R70W lies in the Coal Creek and Second Alkali <br />Creek drainages. The remainder of the lease area lies in the drainage <br />of Newlin Creek. The iiewlin drainage can be further subdivided on the <br />lease into a northern sub-basin, a main basin and a southern sub-basin. <br />Newlin Creek joins Hardscrabble Creek in'Section 2,T20S,R69W and <br />flows ultimately into the Arkansas River. <br />foal Creek and second Alkali-Creek are ephemeral streams, running <br />• only during the spring runnoff or after storms. Newlin Creek is <br /> mapped as a perennial stream on the lease tract, however, the drainage <br /> was dry during afield investigation in February 1979. In a discussion <br />with the Manager of the Dept. of Water for the City of Florence, it was <br />learne3 that Newlin Creek is not perennial and that when flows do exist <br />in the stream they are diverted into a pipeline in Section 35 T205 R70W <br />which is part of the water supply system for the City of Florence. Only <br />during high runnoff or severe storms will water now flow in the <br />\ewlin Creek drainage across the lease tract. No flows have been observe <br />in the creek in the past two years. <br /> <br />-5- 3-5 <br />
