  • Miners Basin (Placer Creek) Suitability Evaluation Report (SER)
    Miners Basin (Placer Creek) Suitability Evaluation Report (SER) STUDY AREA SUMMARY Name of River: Miners Basin (Placer Creek) River Mileage: Studied: 1.74 miles from the headwaters in Miners Basin on the southwest slopes of Horse Mountain to the junction with Pinhook Creek. Eligible: Same Location: Manti-La Sal National Forest, Moab Ranger District, Congressional District Miners Basin Grand County, Utah 2 (Placer Creek) Start End Classification Miles North Tributary Northing Northing 4267995 4267112 Segment 1 Easting Recreational 1.74 Easting 649262 652594 Appendix A – Suitability Evaluation Reports A-249 South Tributary Northing 4266716 Easting 652068 Coordinates are in UTM Zone 12 N. NAD 83, meters Physical Description of River Segment: The majority of the water in the Miners Basin (Placer Creek) drainage originates from a mine adit. Snowmelt and summer monsoons also augment flows in this small rocky drainage. Even though the gradients are steep in the headwaters, the channel is stable due mainly to rocky bottoms. The middle reaches cut through shale, and bank erosion is more prevalent. Lower reaches are in Castle Valley alluvial material that moves easily during spring runoff and intense summer rainstorms. There is no fish habitat in the watercourse, due to lack of perennial water, a small stream channel, and limited cover from bank vegetation and channel boulders. ELIGIBILITY Name and Date of Eligibility Document: Final Eligibility Determination of Wild and Scenic Rivers of Rivers, March 2003, (USDA Forest Service Supplement to the Manti-La Sal NF Final Eligibility Determination of Wild and Scenic Rivers, 2005) Determination of Free-flow: The watercourse is primarily free flowing but an old earthen impoundment has created a pond within the segment.
