<br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />Evaluation Area B comprises 1,286 acres of presently irrigated land and <br />176 acres of new 1ando Soils are similar to those in evaluation area A <br />but slopes are steeper, generally from 6-12 percento Evaluation area B <br />lands are intermingled with lands of evaluation area Ao <br /> <br />With project development, presently irrigated lands in evaluation areas <br />A and B will receive approximately an additional .9 acre-foot of water <br />per acre delivered at the farm headgate. Intermingled non-irrigated new <br />lands will receive 2.7 acre-feet of water delivered at the farm headgateo <br /> <br />Evaluation Area C consists of 657 acres of non-irrigated new lands to <br />be served by the Davie Ditch. Soils are similar to those in evaluation <br />area A on slopes from 0-6 percent. New farm units will be established <br />on these lands. <br /> <br />Evaluation Area D comprises 215 acres of non-irrigated new lands to be <br />served by the Davie Ditch. Soils and slopes are similar to those in eval- <br />uation area B. Crop distribution and crop yields will average the same <br />as for evaluation area B. <br /> <br />Lands in evaluation areas C and D are presently non-irrigated. With project <br />development they will receive approximately 207 acre-feet of water per acre <br />delivered at the farm headgate. <br /> <br />Evaluation Area E is comprised of 18[ acres of presently irrigated land <br />located in Dry Elk Valley. Soils are deep with medium to fine textures, <br />moderate to slav permeability, generally on slopes between 3 and 6 percento <br />Irrigation water will be delivered by direct diversion from East Rifle <br />Creek. <br /> <br />Evaluation Area F consists of 177 acres of presently irrigated land located <br />in D~ Elk Valleyo Soils are similar to those in evaluation area E but <br />slopes are steeper, generally from 6-12 percent. <br /> <br />Wlth project development, lands in evaluation areas E and F will receive <br />approximately an additional 1.9 acre-feet of irrigation water per acre <br />delivered at the farm headgate. <br /> <br />Evaluation Area G comprises 341 acres of non-irrigated new land in D~ <br />Elk Valley. Soils and slopes are similar to evaluation area Eo <br /> <br />Evaluation Area H is composed of 346 acres of non-irrigated new land in <br />D~ Elk Valley. Soils are similar to evaluation area E but slopes are <br />steeper, generally from 6-12 percent. <br /> <br />Lands in evaluation areas G and H are presently non-irrigatedo With project <br />development they will receive approximately 2.7 acre-feet of water per acre <br />delivered at the farm headgateo <br /> <br />Soils <br /> <br />Basic soils data were obtained from a soil survey of the project area com- <br />pleted by the Soil Conservation Service.
