The current water monitoring requirements are defined on page 2.05-35 of the <br />permit revised September 1995. The techniques used to collect samples and measure flows are <br />J presented on page 2.05-35a The monitoring locations are shown on the Hydrologic Area Map, <br />permit Map 110. Monitoring data for this year's report is segregated into the following <br />appendices: <br />Appendix No. Monitoring Data <br />I Surface Water <br />II Springs <br />III Alluvial Wells <br />IV Bedrock Wells <br />V Water Monitorin R uirements <br />Surface Water <br />Surface water that may flow from the permit azea will flow; 1) along ephemeral drainages into <br />Naturita Creek which discharges into the San Miguel River or, 2) along ephemeral drainages that <br />flow directly into the San Miguel River. <br />Broad Canyon is the major drainage feature to the east of the permit area. Flow from Broad <br />Canyon discharges directly into Naturita Creek. Monitoring point H-2 is located where Broad <br />Canyon intersects Naturita Creek.
