Water Resources (Andrea Schaffner) indicate that these two springs may not actually be natural <br />springs, but rather wetted areas associated with stock pond embankments previously established in the <br />ephemeral/intermittent drainages by the landowners. In addition to lying on the west (downthrown) <br />side of the major fault, discussed in the previous section, these two springs are located relatively high <br />on the anticlinal structure (see Exhibits 8 and 10). For recharge to occur to these springs through the <br />Twentymile Sandstone, groundwater would have to move upgradient on the anticlinal structure, which <br />in this area dips toward the east at approximately 60 to 80 degrees. There is no evidence that upward <br />groundwater movement is occurring, since no other springs are found along the Twentymile Sandstone <br />outcrop in this area.
