Section 783 . 16 SURFACE WATER INFORMATION
REGIONAL HYDROLOGIC SETTING
The Mid-Continent Resources Coal Basin lease area is located
on the divide that separates the North Fork of the Gunnison
watershed from the Crystal River watershed. Drainage from
the east side of Huntsman Ridge Bows east in Coal Creek to
the Crystal River, then north where the Crystal River joins
the Roaring Fork River near Carbondale, approximately 17
miles north of Coal Basin. The Roaring Fork then flows north-
west to the confluence with the Colorado River at Glenwood
Springs.
The drainage on the west side of Huntsman Ridge consists of
a number of small tributaries flowing to the west and south
which in turn flow into the Clear Fork and East Muddy Creek.
The East Muddy Creek flows west into the confluence with the
North Fork and, again, west to the confluence with the
Gunnison River. The Gunnison River joins the Colorado River in
Grand Junction, approximately 70 miles west of the Coal Basin
facilities.
