A flood irrigation design has been developed by Western Fue WFC based on accepted <br />NRCS guidance and formulas. This design can be seen in Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e) -9. <br />This design provides a total Irrigated Pasture area of 25.62 acres. The remaining 46.02 <br />acres of disturbance of Lloyd's property will be reclaimed as Dryland Pasture (DP) <br />See Map 2.05.4 -5 for the location of the irrigated and the dryland pasture portions of this tract. <br />This map also shows the reclaimed surface topography. Additional lands surrounding this 25.62 <br />acre irrigated area can be irrigated in the future if Noyd he landowner desires to do so. A <br />minimum of 62 acres can be irrigated since the slopes are very mild (approx. 4 %), which <br />represents the planned final topography, as seen on Map 2.05.4 -5. As of May, 2010, most of <br />this area has already been reclaimed to these slopes. Since the planned irrigation area (25.62 <br />acres) is at the high point of the property, all lower areas can be easily irrigated if Lloyd decides <br />to make more water available for this area. The map shows the main pipe that would be used to <br />irrigate the proposed 25.62 acre area. If additional areas are irrigated after bond release, the <br />pipe would be extended to the north or south, as needed. <br />3) The parcel immediately west of the Lloyd parcel, which is no owned by Western Fuefs <br />WFC, is a total of 95.89 acres in the permit area. This land was purchased frorn dohnsOn. <br />• This tract was originally classified by Westei n FuefsWFC as Irrigated Pasture (IP), <br />Irrigated Pasture Hayland, and Rangeland. <br />• Portions of these tracts were "Flood Irrigated" in the past. -There were mor-furrows; and <br />gated pipe, side ioll spiinklei systern ci other Met to control water distribution.- <br />• WFC does not own sufficient water to irrigate this land overall since it has only 12 <br />shares for a total of 95.89 acres. <br />• mMost of the 12 shares has been designated by Westei n Fue WFC for use on a <br />nearby property outside the permit area and is not available for irrigation on this site. <br />• An area of 98A soil of 4.76 acres in size on this property was determined to be pPrime <br />fFarmland by the NRCS in 2008. The construction of Pond 013 disturbed some of this <br />soil (3.96 acres). The prime farmland soil from Pond 013 was excavated in a single lift <br />and stored in a pair of stockpiles near this area. According to CDRMS rules regarding <br />pPrime fFarmland, an IC area will be created matching the pPrime fFarmland acreage <br />August 2013 PR -08 2.05.4(2)(e) - 9 <br />
