. 2.04.7 <br /> less than five gallons per minute and most flows infiltrate back into the <br /> ground before reaching a stream. <br /> Six of the springs located adjacent to the permit area are decreed water <br /> rights shown on Map 23 -Water Rights Location. The J & M Springs & <br /> Pipelines are claimed for domestic and stock watering purposes. Water right <br /> numbers 1 and 3 are decreed for 4 gallons per minute. Number 2 is decreed <br /> for 2 gpm. Numbers 4 and 5 are decreed for 5 gpm. The Bowie Spring S-3 is <br /> decreed for 15 gallons per minute. The decreed water rights located on the <br /> Applicant's land are owned by the Applicant. <br />(b) The subsurface hydrologic regime may be divided into four discrete <br /> subsystems: 1) the alluvium and terrace deposits associated with the North <br /> Fork ofthe Gunnison River; 2) localized deposits of alluvium-colluvium within <br /> the Hubbard Creek, and Terror Creek area; 3) groundwater occurrences <br /> within the Mesaverde Formation; and 4) colluvial discharges associated with <br /> soil moisture storage in Steven's Draw, C-Gulch and at the head of <br /> Freeman, Sheep Corral and Dove Gulches. <br /> <br /> North Fork of the Gunnison River Alluvium <br />Alluvial fill associated with the North Fork of the Gunnison River and tributary <br />drainages (Terror Creek) have been extensively developed for domestic and <br />agricultural water sources. For a discussion of Alluvial Valley Floors, see <br />section 2.06.8. The State Engineer's records depict 3 registered wells <br />completed within the alluvium located in Sections 14, and 15., T.13 S., R.92 <br />W., 6th P.M. (Bowie No. 1 Mine Area) <br />These wells range from 14 feet to 77 feet deep and typically produce water <br />from 12 feet. The well yield ranges from 5 gpm to 120 gpm with average <br />yields of approximately 17 gpm. Water quality is highly variable within the <br />alluvial fill. Most wells completed near the river sustain quality adequate for <br />human consumption; however, the higher sulfate and total dissolved solids <br />values are probably a function of return irrigation flows and well completion <br />depths near the alluvium-Mancos shale contact. <br />Localized Alluvium-Colluvium <br />Localized deposits of alluvium-colluvial material reworked by fluvial <br />processes are present within the area, primarily within the Hubbard Creek, <br />PR-09 2.04 - 23 - 09/29/05 <br />/) /'QQovED <br />/ or i~~o-5 <br />
