<br />INTRODUCTION <br />The objective of the study is to establish the total anticipated flow entering the proposed mining <br />' operation area from the entire Tallahassee Basin during a 100 year-24 hour storm with a rainfall <br />intensity of 3.5 inches and a 10 year-24 hour storm with a rainfall intensity of Z.5 inches. Based on <br />' these findings two bridges will be designed that will cross the Tallahassee Creek without impeding <br />or disturbing the existing flow from the Tallahassee Basin. Crossings will be designed to meet all <br />of the Army Corps of Engineers requirements. <br />SITE LOCATION (See Exhibit I) <br />The project site is located some 15 miles west of Canon City along Colorado State Highway 50. A <br />site location map is included. <br />' TALLAHASSEE BASIN AREA <br /> The total basin of the Tallahassee Creek encompasses some 287 square miles of varied terrain. The <br /> major tributaries to this basin are the following creeks: <br />' 1. Tallahassee Creek, <br /> 2. Currant Creek, <br /> 3 <br />C <br />tt <br />d C <br />k <br /> . <br />onwoo <br />ree <br />o <br />, <br /> 4. 31 Mile Mountain Creek, <br /> 5. Various Minor Creeks. <br />' In order to arrive at a more reliable estimate of anticipated floes, the entire basin has been divided <br />' into the following major sub-basins starting at the highest elevations of the Tallahassee Creek basin. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PAGE1 <br />1 <br />
