This creek <br />' typically flows year round. Three monitoring points are located <br />along Naturita Creek. Two points are upstream N-1 and N-lA and one <br />point downstream N-2. Discharge point N-lA will replace point N-1 <br />' effective in 1993. Naturita Creek had flow all year. <br />Sarinas <br />' Six springs a located adjacent to the mining area. SP-1, located <br />in Long Draw has had flow recorded in 4 of 12 calendar quarters <br />that monitoring data is available. The maximum flow was 1.5 gpm. <br />' During 1992, SP-1 was damp with no recorded flow. <br />SP-2 located in Section 33 Creek has had flow recorded in 3 of 12 <br />' calendar quarters that monitoring data is available.

Two wells are located along Bramiers Draw AW-4 6 AW-5 <br />and two are installed along Naturita Creek AW-6 & AW-7.
