diversion. The inner channel will meander within the larger outer channel. Approximately twenty <br /> (20) meanders will be created during construction of the inner channel. Placement and <br /> curvature of the constructed meanders of both the inner and outer channels is critical, and must <br /> be accomplished as depicted on the maps and cross sections provided. <br /> It is estimated that twenty seven thousand cubic yards (27,000 yd3) of material will be excavated <br /> during construction of the diversion. <br /> Environment <br /> The diversion will be constructed through the former location of the Coal Basin Mines facilities <br /> area. Structures which were formerly located within the foot print of the diversion include the <br /> District Office Building, asphalt covered parking area, and an equipment maintenance shop. <br /> Most, if not all, of the concrete foundations and footers which were associated with these and <br /> other structures has been demolished and removed through a different contract. A minor <br /> amount of buried concrete containing rebar, possibly including an abandoned septic system, <br /> may be encountered during excavation of the diversion. <br /> The exact geomorphologic nature of the Project Area prior to mining is unknown. However, it is <br /> surmised that Dutch Creek flowed into Coal Creek within the vicinity of the Project Area as a <br /> series of migrating stream channels. Due to the elevation differences between the current Dutch <br /> Creek and Coal Creek channels, the probability of channel migration over time, and the <br /> occurrence of large scale debris flows, it is likely that, at depth, the foot print of the channel is <br /> underlain by alluvial materials washed down the Dutch Creek channel. <br /> Photographs taken during the early to mid 1960's indicated that coal refuse, generated from the <br /> wash plant formerly located to the west of the Project Area, was used as fill over the alluvial <br /> materials to create the relatively flat land form which now exists in the northern half of the Project <br /> Area. <br /> Limited drill data from the northern most half of the channel tends to confirm the presence of <br /> these materials. The drill data suggests that, in the northern half of the Project Area, coal refuse <br /> may be encountered for the upper three feet (3) to fifteen feet (15'). The thickness of the refuse <br /> appears to increase toward the north. Alluvial materials consisting of slightly metamorphosed <br /> Mesaverde Formation and Mancos Shale were encountered immediately underlying the refuse <br /> to a depth of twenty five feet (25') to thirty one feet (31') below ground surface. The depth of this <br /> material also increases to the north. Mancos Shale was encountered below the alluvial <br /> materials. In late October, 1997, ground water was encountered at twenty seven feet (27') below <br /> ground surface at the north side of the Project Area. At the time, depth to water in the central <br /> portion of the Project Area was measured at twenty one feet (21') to twenty five feet (25) below <br /> ground surface. It should be noted, however, that the ground water levels may fluctuate given <br /> the time of year and the surface elevations of Coal and Dutch Creeks in the vicinity of the Project <br /> Area. <br /> From the central portion of the Project Area south toward Dutch Creek, it is assumed that the <br /> depth of coal refuse fill decreases to zero and that the thickness of the alluvial material <br /> increases. While the thickness of the alluvial material in this area is not known, it is not <br /> anticipated that in situ Mancos shale will be encountered in this portion of the Project Area. <br />
