Extratropical storms with Northwest Flow <br />These storm events are very significant during the winter months when they <br />produce significant snowfall over the basin. However the Williams Fork study found that even <br />the largest of these events during the seasonal window for PMP storms provides only minor <br />rainfall totals within the Williams Fork Basin as well as over the Henderson Mill drainage. <br />Conclusions <br />AWA has reviewed in detail the PMP study for the Williams Fork drainage basin in light of if <br />application to the Henderson Mill tailing pond drainage sub- basin. Since no significant storms <br />have occurred since the Williams Fork study that would which affect the conclusions, there are no <br />updates required. The location of the Henderson Mill drainage on the northeast slopes of the <br />William Fork Range tends to decrease the rainfall potential for general storms. Additionally, its <br />location does not allow the largest of the local storms to be centered over the basin. The local <br />PMP storm should centered over the Williams Fork basin as presented in the Williams Fork study. <br />AWA recommends that the Williams Fork study be used to provide the PMP values for the <br />Henderson Mill tailing pond drainage basin. <br />Page 16 <br />
