• Discharge from Starkville Gulch into Raton Creek was measured <br />as 0.016 cfs. This stream obtains its base flow from a ,;eep-spring <br />in the Vermejo Formation transmitted along coal seams and sands <br />approximately 1200 feet upstream. No surface flow was noted above <br />that point. <br />From these measurements on May 12, 1982 Starkville Gulch <br />contributed 0.016 cfs to the 1.00 cfs flow in Raton Creek. This <br />results in a dilution of 1:62.5 of Starkville Gulch to Raton Creek <br />water. <br />Surface !•)ater Quality <br />Historical water quality data was not found to be available <br />for Raton Creek. Most flc:~ 3ata and water quality information in <br />this area has been collected from guaging stations on the Purgatoire <br />• River at and above Trinidad, Colorado.3 For that reason, only the <br />information collected during this study will be presented. <br />Precipitation in the form of rainfall and si~at occured on <br />the days when surface waters were sampled. Two nearby stations <br />recorded measurable precipitation. <br />Precipitation <br />May 12, 1982 t4ay 13, 1982 <br />Trinidad Airport - 12 mi 0.26 inches 0.39 inches <br />NE of Trinidad, Colorado <br />Trinidad Dam Project - 0.27 inches 0.29 inches <br />U.S. Corps of Engineers, <br />3Communication with Mr. William A.
