Nunn series: The Nunn series consists of deep, well drained soils that formed in mixed alluvium and eolian deposits. Nunn soils are on terraces, alluvial fans, and smooth plains. Slopes are 0 to 3 percent. Nunn soils are similar to the Altvan and Dacono soils and are near the Colombo, Fort Collins, Haverson, and Weld soils. Altvan and Dacono soils have a sand and gravel C horizon at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. Colombo and Haverson soils lack a B horizon. Fort Collins soils are less than 35 percent clay in the B horizon. Weld soils have an abrupt textural boundary between the A and B horizons. Crops yields per acre in this series are typically: 3.5 to 5.5 tons of hay; 20 to 24 tons of beets; 2400 to 2700 pounds of dry pinto beans; and, 80 to 180 bushels of corn. LAND OWNERSHIP The land in the project service is primarily private farms, ranches, and some individual home sites. All of the agricultural land serviced by the Company is privately owned. WATER RIGHTS A consideration of water rights, and records of water diversion, provide the primary bases for determination of design discharges. The Larimer & Weld system holds some of the earli.er rights on the Cache la Poudre River, A review of diversion records for the past ten years has shown that the canal regularly diverts direct river flows to the maximum decreed flow rate. Direct flow decrees associated with the Larimer & Weld diversion are as follows: Order No. Decreed Rate Decree Date Cumulative 10 3.00 1884 3.00 16 1.47 1884 4.47 21 16.67 1884 21.14 45 75.00 1884 96.14 73 54.33 1884 150.47 88 571.00 1884 721.47 The maximum cumulative decreed direct flow rate should be the minimum design capacity of any Larimer & Weld Feasibility Study Lake Lee & Big Windsor - 03.043 Page 4
