the confluence, but eastward -sngt-adient~, the drainage appears stable for <br />• construction as indicated b}' old gro~t~th fir and aspen :long the north facing <br />slope, and smooth contours and =ood sandstone bedrock control along the south <br />facing slope. <br />3.o Southern Extent of Svlvester Gulch <br />A grove of aspen at. the southern extent of Syh-ester Gulch study area <br />indicates shallow groundwater. Smooth contours and old grov:th fir on both <br />the east and west facing slopes above the gulch indicate a good stable setting <br />for construction. However, several old growth firs were observed to be leaning <br />badly between the 1,200 and 7.300 feet elevations along the upper reaches of <br />the east slope. The leaning trees indicate hummocky terrain and possibly <br />some old landslide areas. <br />3.6 Bench Above A~Iiner Cabin <br />A dilapidated miner cabin is situated 600 feet south of the fan portal, at <br />the base of a ridge dividing Sylvester Gulch and a drainage referred to as <br />Drainage C in Figure 1.0. Above the miner cabin the ridge flattens and <br />broadens into a bench 950 feet long, and 425 feet wide. The bench appears to <br />=; be an erosional feature, but the old growth fir and smooth topographic contours <br />y <br />s <br />
