• <br />• <br />(p. 39) 'The habitats in Dry Creek change radically as the creek flows across farmland <br />near the Yampa River. It is probably subject to temperature increases, nutrient <br />loading, and siltation from the surrounding farms and ranches. No fish inventories <br />for Dry Creek have been undertaken. However, the aquatic habitat may be suitable for <br />chubs, Gila spp.: shiners, Notropis spp.; and suckers, Catostomus spp.; and, other <br />rough fish." <br />Benthic invertebrates and periphyton were sampled in May and November 1974 in association <br />with Seneca Coal Company's application for Permit No. C-82-057 for the Seneca II-W Mine. <br />Site D-3 was located in Dry Creek approximately 5.0 miles upstream of the Loadout permit <br />area and at an elevation increase of only 160 feet. Because this is the only aquatic <br />habitat data available on Dry Creek, the sampling results from Site D-3 are considered <br />representative of the reach of Dry Creek that bisects the permit area and are summarized <br />herein. Reference may be made to Attachment 11-2 for a description of sampling methods and <br />summary of results (this information duplicates Permit C-82-057 at Vol. 6, Tab 11, pp. 12-13 <br />and Table 11-24, 11-25, 11-33, 11-34 and 11-35). <br />9 Revised 06/08 <br />RN-03 <br />
