The study covers approximately 110 square miles of the total basin's area of 410 square miles, and includes regions being subjected to major urban developments. The Dawson Arkose Formation is the dominant bedrock that underlies the surficial deposits in this area. Other bedrock units are the Castle Rock Conglomerate and Denver Formation. The engineering geology mapping system used in this study is the Genesis-Lithology-Qualifier System (GLQ), which together with the charts, present the main engineering geology properties of the surficial materials in the area. This study is part of a larger engineering geology map ping and report to cover the entire basin. Final results of the study include three types of mapping: land-use maps; slope maps; and engineering geology maps. Results of this study will help guide development in the area and predict its impact on the behavior of Cherry Creek. Land-use, slope, and engineering geology mapping together, could form the basis for hydrological modeling of the basin which is not included in this study.

The magnitude of the complications and damage related to the use of such radioactive and toxic weapons on the environment and the human population mostly results from the intended concealment, denial and misleading information released by the Pentagon about the quantities, characteristics and the area’s in Iraq, in which these weapons have been used. Revelation of information regarding what is called the Gulf War Syndrome among exposed American veterans helped Iraqi researchers and Medical Doctors to understand the nature of the effect of these weapons, and the means required to investigate further into this issue. The synergetic impact on health due to the post Gulf War I economical sanctions and DU related radioactive contamination raised the number of casualties in contaminated areas as in southern Iraq. Continual usage of DU after Gulf War I on other Iraqi territories thro...

The US and UK armed forces used Depleted Uranium (DU) munitions for the first time in recent history during the First Gulf War in 1991. The weapons were extensively used close to populated areas in Southern Iraq like Basra and its vicinity. About one million bullets, projectiles and missiles were fired along the “Highway of Death” leading from Kuwait City to Basra, then up to Nasiriya, and other Iraqi cities in 1991 [1] , figure 1 shows these places.
