<br />2.04.4 CQLTORAL AND HISTORIC RESODRCES INFORMATIOP <br />During a 1983 survey of the surrounding area done by the Grand <br />River Institute, a number of paleontological resources were <br />identified in the 20 square mile area surrounding the minesite. <br />These were old campsites and projectile points, however, none <br />were found in the area that was surface disturbed. Sine this <br />permit is for reclamation only, no new disturbance will be made <br />and any surrounding resources will be intact. <br />2.04.5 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HYDROLOGY AND GEOLOGY <br />.......................................................................................................................................................................... <br />..... ....................................................................................................................................................... . <br />................................................................................... ................................ .. ... ...... .................. <br />• The Fruita Mines reclamation site is located at the base of the <br />Book Cliffs north of Fruita, Colorado. Average annual <br />precipitation is below 10 inches per year and the site is very <br />arid. Precipitation from April to September occurs as high <br />intensity thunderstorms which can be severe. Runoff from the site <br />/flows south in normally dry washes to the Colorado River. <br />^/ The low precipitation and acid conditions result in poor recharge <br />conditions and groundwater is insignificant and is not used near <br />the reclaimed area. <br />~/iy~~a .~iA <br />
