EXHIBIT K <br />Climate <br />The subject site area has a high plain, continental climate. With the mountains to the west, <br />variations in temperature are wide. In the high plains area, rainfall is light and humidity is <br />low. <br />The average frost-free period is 172 days. Annual average precipitation is about 14 <br />inches. <br />In the eastern high plains area, the climate is modified considerably from that expected of <br />a typical high plain because of the nearby mountains to the west. The winds characteristic <br />of the plains are reduced somewhat by the shielding effect of the mountains. <br />Climate data for the Site is assumed to be similar to that of a weather station at Greeley <br />UNC, Colorado. The Western Regional Climate Center tracks temperature extremes and <br />precipitation data for this station. The following table includes data that was collected <br />between March 1, 1967 and April 30, 2007. <br />GREELEY UNC, COLORADO (053553) <br />Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary <br />Period of Record: 3/1/1967 to 4/30/2007 <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual <br />Average Max. <br /> <br />Temperature (F) [41.4 46.8 55.8 64.3 [73.3 83.7 [89.7 87.6 79.2] [66 4 507 <br />? 42.1 <br />? 65.1 <br />? <br />Average Min. <br />Temperature (F) 15.4 F19 9 26.8 34.8 4 . 7 354 <br />? 24.5 <br />? ? ? <br />Average Total <br /> <br />Precipitation (in.) 0.49 0.37 1.07 H [2.43 1.87 1.50 Fl.15 ? 1.10 1.03 <br />? 0.77 <br />? 0.47 <br />? 14.03 <br />? <br />Average Total <br />?SnowFall (in.) 6.1 4.4 7.3 5.1 0.9 0.0 0.0 <br />?? 0.0 0.7 <br />?? 3.1 7.0 <br />?? 5.8 40.4 <br />Average Snow <br />) <br />[Depth (in ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 0 <br />? 0 <br />? 1 <br />? 1 <br />? 0 <br />? <br />. <br />Percent of possible observations for period of record. <br />Max.
