e <br />ESPEY, HUSTON & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />CHAPTER F: ENVIItONMENTAL RESOURCES/GEOLOGY <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />1.1 STUDY AREA <br />The Meeker Area Mines site lies 8 miles north of the town of Meeker <br />(population 2,300 (Young, 1979)) along Curtis Creek, a perennial stream (in the mine <br />plan azea) and tributary of the White River. The mine plan area occupies the north- <br />facing slopes of the Rattlesnake Mesa, which comprises the southern limit of the <br />Danforth Hills in the Meeker azea. <br />1.2 TOPOGRAPY <br />• The surface topography comprises a closed structural and topographic <br />basin delineated by prominent east-west trending ridges with an abrupt and steep <br />south escazpment (Rattlesnake Mesa) and a moderately steep north slope (Danforth <br />Hills). Small intermittent streams drain the north slopes and together with other <br />similaz tributazies, combine to form Curtis Creek. Curtis Creek, also intermittent, <br />drains southwazd to the White River via a narrow water gap which is deeply incised <br />into weather resistant sandstone beds and shales normal to the strike of the geologic <br />structure. Elevations within the mine plan azea range from about 6,900 feet along <br />Curtis Creek where it passes out of the leasehold to about 8,300 feet atop the <br />ridgeline, 2 miles east of the Rienau No. 2 (G-Seam) Mine. <br />The extreme eastern portion of the mine plan area is drained by an <br />intermittent stream occupying Aicher's Draw, which is identical in nature and <br />occurrence to Curtis Creek. Exhibits F-1 and F-Z show the topography and slope <br />gradient of the mine plan azea and the proposed disturbed area of the Northern No. <br />2 (P-Seam) and 3 (J-Seam) Mines. Exhibit F-1 is constructed at 1:24,000 scale <br />• <br />F-1 <br />
