MonitoringLocationDescriptionText JT Spring is in an alcove erosional feature that is a tributary to the east branch of Hance Creek. The spring has several outlets issuing from bedding planes in the Muav Limestone. The largest outlet at the time of sampling was at the north side of the amphitheater and was mostly covered by an alluvial slump block. The back wall of the amphitheater is a 300mhigh vertical cliff of Redwall Limestone. The Grandview Phantom Monocline trends parallel to the east arm of Hance Creek and is immediately southwest of JT Spring. Samples were collected where the water emerges directly from the slump block. Discharge was measured about 60 m from the spring outlet where all flow from the outlet is in a single channel. Immediately downstream from the confluence of the tributary containing JT Spring and the east branch of Hance Creek, flow becomes subterranean until it emerges near the contact between the Bright Angel Shale and Tapeats Sandstone close to the Tonto Trail. Site is within the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park. The USGS site ID is 360025111571501.
