PRECIPITATION <br />Data presented in Exhibit K indicates that an average of 16-18 <br />inches of precipitation is received each year. <br />The distribution of monthly precipitation demonstrates that the <br />precipitation throughout the year is fairly uniform, with the <br />winter season receiving slightly more (in the form of snow) than <br />the summer. June and July receive the least precipitation during <br />the year . <br />TEMPERATURE <br />Temperatures recorded on-site are shown in Exhibit K as monthly <br />mean averages (F°). The average recorded temperatures in July <br />and August were 68.0 and 67.0 F° respectively, while averages <br />• of 23.1 and 24.6 Fo were recorded in January and February, <br />respectively. <br />SOIL <br />As indicated in Exhibit I, the soils of the area are generally <br />well developed. Soil characteristics which relate to reclamation <br />are shown in that exhibit. Nutritive levels are good as is topsoil <br />quality. Salinity levels are low. <br />SLOPE STABILITY <br />The existing mountain slopes on the Dow West property are well <br />vegetated for the most part and thus quite stable from a water <br />erosion standpoint. <br /> <br />E-15 <br />
