The .vet area occurs over a length of <br />approximately 640 feet adjacent to the permit area. It is believed that the irrigation flows soak into <br />the gravel in the fields south of the property and daylight at the outcrop of a less permeable shale <br />zone located at the southern limit of the cottonwood trees in the channel. in wetter years and earlier <br />months, other springs may be present. As described earlier, these flows are estimated to be <br />between 2 to 20 gallons per minute. Below the permit area, the spring flow from the unnamed <br />drainage has been diverted at some time in the past to a ditch running east along the toe of the north <br />berm until it meets the flow from the perennial spring, and the combined flows go north toward the <br />wetland in the meadow located on the first terrace above the Eagle River. According to the <br />landowner, this wetland only developed in the last two years because the unnamed drainage water <br />. was diverted from its original channel to this low area in the field.
