Spring #19: At Middle Fork of Purgatoire (Table 9) . Flow <br /> originating from fractured shale and sandstone was measured at <1 <br /> to 4 gpm on 7 of the 11 samplings. In all cases, the flow was <br /> absorbed within 300 yards of the source. Conductivity ranged from <br /> 360 to 889, while pH ranged from 6. 6 to 8. 3 . This seep is utilized <br /> for livestock and wildlife watering while contributing little to <br /> surface flow. <br /> Spring #20: Santistevan Canyon Flume (Table 10) . Quality and <br /> quantity of 3 Santistevan Canyon springs were monitored collective- <br /> ly at the flume location placed in the lower canyon. Flows <br /> originating from fractured shales and sandstone were measured <br /> between 3 and 50 gpm. The Station was dry during the 1989 survey. <br /> Quality ranged from 504 to 583 conductivity and 6. 6 to 8.7 pH. <br /> Current use is livestock and wildlife watering and for aesthetics <br /> as the flow creates a stream running through the ranchette <br /> development in the canyon. <br /> Spring #1: Cherry Canyon (Table 11) . This seep originates <br /> from the interface of coal and shale. The spring was dry during <br /> the 1988 survey and was ponded during the 1989 Survey. <br /> Springs #2-7 : Alamosito Canyon (Table 12) . This series of <br /> springs and seeps covered a reach of the canyon and each specific <br /> spring or seep could not be distinguished. The seepage results <br /> from an interface between the coal and shale. Flow and field <br /> parameters were measured below spring #7 with a total flow of <1 to <br /> 4 gpm. <br /> Spring #21: Lopez Canyon (Table 13) . This spring appeared to <br /> originate from a minor coal seam. The spring was dry at the time <br /> of the surveys. <br /> -79- <br />
