4.4.6 Stockpile Area F. This area is in the northeastern corner <br />of sec. 17 about 700 feet east of Area E, and includes about 3.5 • <br />acres in a topographic saddle forming the headwaters between two <br />stream gullies. <br />Rock Tvpe. The predominant rock is platy (thin-bedded) <br />sandstone. Bedrock probably will not be encountered in site <br />preparation because of a relatively thick section of weathered <br />sandstone. <br />Structure. Strike and dip of the rocks underlying this site <br />is about N60W, 26° NE. <br />Topographv and Drainage. The site occupies a drainage divide <br />that trends roughly with the general topographic orientation <br />(N65W). Slopes along this orientation from about 113 (9:1) in the <br />northeast to about 153 (7:1) at the southeast end. <br />Comments and Evaluation. The western part of the area should • <br />be protected from headward erosion of the drainage which extends <br />northwestward from the drainage divide. <br />4.4.7 Stockpile Area G. This area, oriented about N20W, includes <br />four acres, and is about 750 feet southeast of the center of sec. <br />17. <br />Rock Tvpe. The predominant rock type probably is sandstone, <br />but there may be more shale bedrock underlying this area than there <br />is under topsoil stockpiles to the north. This is based on finding <br />only scattered blocks of sandstone along trails traversed east of <br />the site. <br />Structure. This area is about 1400 to 1600 feet east of the <br />Fish Creek anticline. Although limited field work precluded • <br />32 <br />
