Where: V velocity (fps) <br />S - slope (X) <br />Curve Number. CN <br />The runoff curve number (CN) is a factor relating the amount of rainfall <br />to the amount of runoff for a given area. It is dependent upon the <br />infiltration characteristics of soil types and the type and amount of <br />vegetation. <br />Curve numbers were obtained from Procedures for Determining Peak Flows in <br />Colorado and Technical Release No. 55, (USDA-SCS, 1980). Based on soil <br />type and vegetation cover, curve numbers were calculated for disturbed <br />considerations as follows: <br />Undisturbed - natural slope, soil, and vegetation <br /> Soil Type: Predominately G <br /> Vegetation Cover: 39X <br /> Vegetation Type: Sage-grass <br />• CN: 69 (from Figure 23-12, Hydrologic Soil Cover complex 8 <br /> Associated Curve Numbers) <br /> Disturbed - pits, stockpiles, etc. <br /> Soil Type: D (worst case) <br /> Vegetation Cover: 0% <br /> CN: 90 (from Figure 23-12, Hydrologic Soil Cover Complex 8 <br /> Associated Curve Numbers) <br /> 81 Reclaimed - Area reclaimed in 1981 <br /> Soil Type: Predominately C (Coalmont) <br /> Vegetation Cover: 43.2% (1991 Reclamation Report) <br /> Vegetation Type: Sage - Grass <br /> CN: 68 (from Figure 23-12, Hydrologic Soil Cover Complex and <br /> Associated Curve Numbers.) <br /> 83 Reclaimed - Areas reclaimed in 1983 <br /> Soil Type: Predominately C (Coalmont) <br /> Vegetation Cover: 52.6% (1991 Reclamation Report) <br /> Vegetation Type: Sage - Grass <br /> CN: 64 (From Figure 23-12 Hydrologic Soil Cover Complex and <br /> Associated Curve Numbers) <br /> 23-64R Revised - August, 1991 <br />
