<br />Annual Precipitation Variations <br />Figure 1 shows the pattern in total annual precipitation for the site from 1965 through October <br />1999. This pattern shows a typical peak and valley pattern. Extreme drought, at least during this period, did <br />not occur, although there were years that were quite dry (such as 1966). Very wet years, although infrequent <br />(1990 for example), tend to bring the average up, but most years are below average with the most common <br />annual precipiation being about 9 to 10 inches. The data does not clearly indicate an eleven year pattern that <br />might be linked to the solar magnetic cycle ("sunspot cycle"), irrespective of whether the we[ years are <br />examined or the dry years. <br />Grisenti Farms Gravel Pit Original Application Exhibit K Page G-3 <br />Figure 1: Annual precipitation patterns. <br />
