Box 1849 <br />Grand Junction, Colorado, 81502 <br />January 25, 1999 <br />TEL (970) 2a?-39fiR <br />F?.X: (9701 7a?-15fi1 <br />' Re: Surficial Geology Investigation <br />Proposed Soaring Eagle Gravel Pit <br />Grand Junction, Colorado <br />At the request of Mr. Ed settle, PE of Grand Junction Pipe, personnel from this office have completed a ground <br />' reconnaissance of the above referenced site in order to determine the getireral geologic conditions and constraints <br />relating to construction on the site. This study was performed in a manner so as to be in general compliance <br />with the requirements of C.R.S. 30-28-101 (Senate Bill 35). Following are our findings. <br />TRACT LOCATION & DESCRIPTION <br />' The tract lies in the East Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 34, and the North Half of Section 35, all <br />within Township l Nord, Range 2 West of the Ute Principal Meridian, Mesa County, Colorado. The tract is <br />bounded on the North by the Colorado River and on do East by the existing Canyon Creek Channel. An <br />' Abardorted Channel of Canyon Creek is near the west boundary. The entire tract is at the base of the Redlands <br />Bluff, which rises to the south. <br />The topography of the trail is relatively flat, being within the existing flood plain of the Colorado River. The <br />site is somewhat broken but, has a general, very gentle slope to the west. The site has an elevation of <br />approximately 4490 feet above sea level, using the U.S.G.S. 7-1 /2 minute mapping of the Colorado National <br />Monument quadrangle. <br />The tract has been used for minor agricultural activities. The actual usefullness of this tract has been quite <br />limited due to the high groundwater elevation and the existing flood plain. The tract is drained toward the north <br />' and west, into the Colorado River. Surface drainage is generally poor and the subsurface drainage is good. <br />LI <br />General information concerning the area geology is contained in: <br />GEOLOGY AND ARTESIAN WATER SUPPLY, Grand Junction Area, Colorado, Geological Survey <br />Professional Paper 451, S.W.
