As of April, 2010, Morgan has leased 62 shares of water (or whatever is necessary) to <br />WFC to irrigate all of their property within the permit area. The lease addendum letter <br />concerning the additional water is included in Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e) -7. Therefore, the <br />entire Morgan -owned area in the permit will be reclaimed as Irrigated Cropland (IC) -and <br />all areas within the Wigan property will be considered prinie fairnland. WFe will repla <br />all topsoil in the entire pioperty to its oiginal depth. See ievised Section 2.85.4(2)(d) <br />Topsoil Redisti ibution. All soils replaced on this property will meet the pi ime fai Hand <br />sum' specifications outlined On Section . The Morgan Property contains <br />significant amounts of Prime Farmland. This is discussed in detail in permit Section <br />2.06.6. <br />5) The parcel of 29.36 acres in the extreme southeast corner of the permit area, which is now <br />owned by Westei i i FtiefsWFC. As of the start of 2eeePR -08, this parcel has not yet been <br />reclaimed since it contains the main overburden main- stockpile for the mine. <br />• This tract was originally classified as Irrigated Pasture (IP) in the pre -mine land use but <br />no water came with the WFC purchase of this tract and none is allocated for future use. <br />• Portions of the tract were "Flood Irrigated" in the past. <br />• This land was reclassified as Dryland <br />Pastwe'andPasture (DP) since there us me water available foi inigatiorvin PR -06. <br />This 29.36 acre area will be graded to a very mild slope which will be planned for future <br />irrigation, if any future landowner decides to irrigate the property. This slope is expected to be <br />2% to 4 %. This can only be done after the overburden is removed for final reclamation. <br />All of these changes have been made to Map 2.05.4 -5 Post Mine Land Use and Vegetation. <br />In the version of the Map 2.05.4 -5 prior to PR -06, an area of 6.73 acres on the Mel Staats <br />property in the southeast corner of the permit was labeled as "Irrigated Farmland Alfalfa <br />Hayland ". This area was incorrectly labeled on the map since the area was actually reclaimed <br />as Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland (IP) years ago with the seed mix for this land use type. This <br />area was seeded in the year 1995. In fact, Mel Staats had interactions with WFC over the years <br />and attended the Phase 2 bond release and had no objections to the reclamation of the <br />property. <br />August 2013 PR -08 2.05.4(2)(e) - 12 <br />
