INTRODUCTION <br />OFFICES: <br />771 Soutn Mal drum <br />Fort Collins, Color~tlo 80521 <br />17071 2210050 <br />201 K Morn, suiH 211 <br />S brlin p. Colontlo 80751 <br />(707) 532-1829 <br />This investigation of the environmental hydrology of the White River <br />Basin and its tributaries is part of a comprehensive environmental study being <br />conducted by Thorne Ecological Institute for Northern Coal Lompany. The area <br />of particular concern is the Lurtis Creek watershed in the vicinity of Rienau <br />Mine, near Meeker, Colorado. <br />The principal objectives of this report are to describe the natural <br /> <br />hydrologic system as it exists today and to briefly discuss impacts from <br />ongoing and future mining operations by Northern Coal Company. Insofar as <br />possible, these impacts have been quantified and proposals made to mitigate <br />impacts in those situations where the water resource may be adversely affected. <br />
