' <br /> <br />.... <br />=-' - ...:;. <br /> <br />..,.. <br /> <br />3li I <br /> <br />3.1.1 Affected Environment <br /> <br />Current uses of the private property include mixed residential and agricultural (tilled dry land or Conservation <br />Reserve Program (CRP) property). The landscape includes flat eolian deposited fields of loam and clay <br />sediments, bisecting canyons with rock outcrops and shallow soiled Pinyon-Juniper woodlands. Land use of <br />the public land includes visitation to important prehistoric sites linked to the Hovenweep National Monument <br />and access to the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument. <br /> <br />Approximately 29 homes are within the project zone. 88 people reside in the proposed project zone. One <br />undeveloped entrance to a National Park Service archaeological site is on the southern boundary of the <br />proposed project zone along County Road N. <br /> <br />Twenty-five homes that currently haul water will receive water service and five undeveloped parcels (one <br />parcel will have two taps; one residential, one transient RV tap) will receive water service pending approval of <br />the project. (A total of 30 tap subscribers are seeking water taps). Of the total Goodman Point area population <br />of approximately 88 people it is anticipated 75 people already residing there wish to receive water. (lR. Berry <br />2006) The five undeveloped parcels that would receive water services could lead to homes for a total offifteen <br />more people. The proposed water development would increase the potential population by 17 % if the five <br />undeveloped parcels, currently zoned as A35 (Agricultural-35 acre parcels), were developed. <br /> <br />5 <br />
