The mean summer temperature is about 67°F. and the mean winter <br />temperature is about 29°F. The Deserado Mine LMU is located on the southwest <br />flank of the Red Wash Syncline, the axis of which trends northwest/southeast, (see <br />R2P2 Plate 2). The strike of strata in the Deserado Mine LMU is generally about <br />N46°W and dip is to the northeast at about 7 degrees. Topography of the Deserado <br />Mine LMU reflects the structural attitude of the beds in that it consists of erosional <br />'' cuestas and incised dip slopes. The strata bearing the coal seams of interest outcrop <br />along Scullion Gulch and its tributaries which are located along the southern portion <br />of the Deserado Mine LMU. The rela[ively steep 7 degree dip and rapid increase <br />I, of overburden renders mineable coal in the LMU recoverable by underground <br />1 mining methods only. <br />I' <br />{' <br />i~ <br />r <br />,1 <br />
