<br />-4. The areal extent is insignificant (20 acres). <br />6.3 POTENTIAL NORTH FORK ALLWIAL VALLEY FLOOR <br />In our opinion, the alluvial valley on both sides of <br />the North Fork Gunnison River, indicated on Plate 2 of this <br />report, should be designated as an AVF. <br />At the meeting in the MLR offices (MLR, CWI, GEO- <br />HYDRO) on-July 30, 1982 discussions were held as to whether <br />an additional area, located between the alluvial valley of <br />the North Fork River and the Fire Mountain irrigation canal <br />should be classified, and possibly designated as AVF. The area <br />is underlain by coarse-grained slope outwash deposits, located <br />higher in the slope. <br />• The area cannot be classified as an unconsolidated <br />streamlaid deposit holding streams (2.06.8(3)(c)i)), and we <br />have classified it as uplands. The area is also largely <br />covered by soils that have been classified as unsuitable for <br />farming (see Soils Map, Plate 5). The area could be designated <br />as an AVF only because of historical use of parts of it (2.06. <br />8(3)(c)(ii)(A)). In our opinion, this upland is not an AVF. <br />September 7, 1982 lttc~al ~a.~ <br />Michal Bukovansk <br />Senior Engineering Geologist <br />l~o.d,~G„s, ~.,L-a.~.~ <br />Vladimir Straskraba <br />Senior Hydrologist <br />- 21 - <br />c,EO~mRO coNw~nr~,~NC. <br />
