• Alluvial deposits were found along Foidel Creek in the proposed <br />permit and adjacent area. The headwaters of Foidel Creek are in <br />Eckman Park west of Energy Mine No. 1, and the stream flows to the <br />northeast, converging with Middle Creek within the proposed permit <br />area. Stream-flow in Foidel Creek occurs in response to snowmelt <br />and occasional runoff from rainstorms. The stream channel in the <br />proposed permit and adjacent area is almost straight with very few <br />meanders, and the streambed is above the local water table for most <br />of the year. A narrow floodplain is present downstream from IISGS <br />Gaging Station 09243900, as shown on Map 4, Mine No. 3 Hydrology. <br />Alluvial deposits were found in the floodplain of Middle Creek <br />downstream from IISGS Gaging Station 09243700 in the proposed permit <br />• area. Middle Creek headwaters are located in the Routt National <br />Forest in Township 3N, Range 87W and the stream flows north through <br />Twentymile Park into Trout Creek outside the general area. <br />Alluvial deposits were found in the floodplain of Fish Creek. <br />The streamcourse of Fiah Creek is highly sinuous in the adjacent <br />area, and exhibits meanders, oabowa and terraces in the floodplain. <br />The floodplain does pinch out, however, in one location adjacent to <br />Energy Tipple No. 3, where Fish Creek flows over a bedrock outcrop, <br />as show on Map 4, Mine No. 3 Hydrology. <br />Three areas within the proposed permit and adjacent area are <br />acknowledged as meeting the geomorphic criteria of alluvial valley <br />floors. As show on Map 4, Mine No. 3 Hydrology, these areas are: <br />2.06-15 <br />
