• <br />• <br />• <br />Site Specific Variations <br />Because the weather station is just a short distance from this site (a couple of miles) the climatic <br />patterns for this site should be nearly identical to the weather station. A few variations will occur though. First, <br />being near the river, the humidity will probably be slightly higher than it is at the airport which is away from <br />the river and somewhat higher in elevation. Second, because of the elevation differences, in the winter, the <br />temperatures at this site would probably average slightly lower than at the airport. During the growing season, <br />temperature differences would be very slight except at night when it would be a little cooler (and more humid) <br />near the river. Once again, these differences are more academic than pragmatic. In conclusion, because the <br />weather station is so close to this site, for all practical purposes, the weather data is extremely relevant to this <br />site and can be relied upon. Furthermore, for monitoring conditions during the mining and reclamation, <br />assuming the weather station isn't moved, the data from Pueblo should be highly representative of what is <br />occurring on this site. <br />7 <br />
