<br />I <br />J <br />.'>,,1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />III. LAND <br /> <br />1 <br />J <br /> <br />The Hyannis Peak Reservoir project was visualized by Meyring <br />and Arapahoe Livestock Companies to provide supplemental irriga- <br />tion for hay meadows and irrigated pasture on land presently <br />owned or leased by the companies. This land lies fo+ the most <br />part in Township 6 North (T6N) , Range 80 West (R80W) , and in <br />Township 6 North (T6N) , Range 81 West (R8lW), This is approxi- <br />mately six to ten miles downstream from the proposed dam site. <br />The lands are flood irrigated from ditches, with the headgates <br />on Grizzly Creek, Arapahoe Creek, Ninegar Creek, Buffalo Creek, <br />and Coyote Creek. The lands proposed to be irrigated by this <br />project cover some 5,300 acres. <br /> <br />Mr. Dave Meyring, assisted by Mr, Kent Crowder of the Jackson <br />County Planning Office, has delineated these proposed lands into <br />some 37 individual parcels. (Refer to Sheet 2, Land Use Map.) <br />These parcels are further identified in the following Table I <br />(see next three pages). <br /> <br />These parcels range in size from 16 acres to 1,162 acres. <br />The additional hay production anticipated ranges from 0.1 tons <br />per acre to 1.4 tons per acre. The additional consumptive use <br />requirement to attain this additional production ranges from <br />0.1 acre-feet per acre to 0.8 acre-feet per acre. These parcels <br />have been prioritized into four groups: A, B, C, and D Priori- <br />ties. Total hay production for these groups and total consumptive <br />use is shown in Summary Table II. Considering all four priorities <br />a total of 1,555.3 additional tons of hay is expected to be <br />produced, consumptively using 1,059.4 acre-feet of supplemental <br />irrigation water. <br /> <br />'1 <br />"j <br /> <br />TABLE II <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />LAND USE AND IRRIGATION <br /> <br />"1 <br /> <br />IRRIGATED LANDS <br />A Priority Lands <br />B Priority Lands <br />C Priority Lands <br />D.Priority Lands <br /> TOTALS <br /> <br />TOTAL ADDITIONAL TOTAL <br />HAY CONSUMPTIVE <br />PRODUCTION USE TONS/ <br />(TONS) (ACRE-FEET) ACRE-FEET <br />556,5 373.25 1. 49 <br />404.9 264.30 1. 53 <br />354.3 248.60 1.43 <br />239,6 173.25 1. 38 <br />1,555,3 1,059.40 <br /> <br />~~):..~ <br />:. ~ <br />L:i <br /> <br /> <br />~, .oJ <br /> <br />,VEIGHTED AVERAGE <br /> <br />1.46 <br /> <br />-4- <br />
