consisting.of 29 acres in the Florida Watershed. The economics of
,

each parcel were adjusted to reflect its particular characteristics.
These characteristics include soil suitability, land clearing and
preparation, and farm efficiency adjustments for parcel size.
After analysis, one of the parcels in the Animas Watershed was found
to not be practicably irrigable. The other four parcels in the
Animas Watershed and the parcel in the Florida Watershed were found
to qualify as practicably irrigable. The details of the analysis
are contained in, "Economic Analysis of Potentially Irrigable
Parcels in the Animas and Florida Watershed", December, 1986,

prepared by Western Research Corporation.

Four parcels in the Animas Watershed totalling approximately 265
acres and one 29 acre parcel in the Florida Watershed were found to
ha ve a posi t i ve payment capaci ty and therefore me t the require men t of
being practicably irrigable.
