For example: The <br />condition of the topsoil, the general hydrology, type of vegetation and topography. <br />The general area included within the NOI boundary is characterized <br />by topography of high and low relief. Seven drainages are found <br />within the NOI area. Five 1" and 2ntl order tributaries to the Yampa <br />River drain northward from the Williams Fork Mountains toward the <br />Yampa River. The streams have perennial and intermittent sections. <br />Individual well sites are all flat-lying, located within 75ft of <br />well-traveled and maintained county roads, are overlain by silty <br />topsoil, and vegetated with low grasses.

Photographs of each of the <br />well sites are attached. A truck-mounted, hollow stem auger <br />will be used to install 2-inch diameter monitoring wells. The <br />3 <br />
