These areas will have 100% alfalfa (not including the companion, small grain, or oat crops) <br />which are well- managed, replowed, replanted, irrigated consistently and harvested. <br />- Irrigated Cropland is the sole post mining land use for the Morgan Property. The Morgan <br />property owners have the most experience and knowledge of what works best on their land. <br />WFC will coordinate and cooperate with the Morgan Property owners for decisions on the <br />Irrigated Cropland vegetation plan and management of the Morgan Property. <br />The Johnson (WFC) Property will also contain a small piece of Irrigated Cropland that will be <br />managed the same as the Morgan Property. <br />2.2 Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland (IP) <br />These reclaimed areas consist of primarily grasses but can have some alfalfa. This <br />reclamation land use encompasses the pre -mine land use type of Pastureland - Irrigated <br />Hayland (IPH) and Pastureland - Irrigated Grass (IP). The Pastureland - Irrigated Grass areas <br />are generally not quite as well managed as Pastureland - Irrigated Hay; they have a lesser <br />percentage of alfalfa, slightly poorer soils and may not yield as much vegetation, but overall, <br />they are similar. The IPH areas were generally baled while the IP areas were generally grazed. <br />In many cases, the field may start out as an IPH field, but over time the alfalfa percentage <br />drops and the field becomes more like a Pastureland - Irrigated Grass field. Both of these pre - <br />mine areas are absorbed into the post -mine use of Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland (IP). In all <br />cases of discussions of post mine vegetation and land use, Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland <br />may be referred to as Irrigated Pasture (IP). <br />2.3 Pastureland - Irrigated Swales (IPSW) <br />These areas are generally low — =lying areas which drain irrigated fields around them. They are <br />not directly irrigated but usually have substantial water from the surrounding fields. They can <br />have wetland plants and these area are not managed or baled. For post -mine land use <br />success, they are measured in the same manner as Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland. <br />2.4 Dryland Pasture (DP) <br />August 2013 PR -08 2.05.4(2)(e) - 3 <br />
