The site is <br />located south of Craig, Colorado, adjacent to State Highway No. 13. The' <br />highway is located in a cut immediately north of the proposed disposal site. <br />The area of the disposal site is located on a long, gently sloping ridge top. <br />South and west of the site the ground surface becomes quite steep and drops <br />sharply into a stream bottom area. The site is to the west of entry far <br />Mine No. 9, and north of an area presently used for sedimentation ponds. Ap- <br />parently the area of proposed refuse disposal site was mined for sand and <br />gravel by the County or the State during the construction of roads in this <br />area. The site is essentially irregular along the surface. The surface has <br />the 'appearance of an abandoned borrow pit. Apparently, a relatively clean .. <br />deposit of either sand and gravel, or a slightly cemented conglomerate occurred <br />at the this site in the past. The granular materials have been removed, for. <br />the most part.
