2) The parcel of 79.74 acres north of BB Road and immediately west of the aforementioned <br />Benson parcel, owned by WFC. For clarity of identification, it is still referred to as the Llovd <br />parcel, since Lloyd was the historical owner of this parcel. <br />• This tract was originally classified by WFC as Irrigated Pasture and Rangeland. <br />• The irrigated portions of this tract were "Flood Irrigated" in the past. That is to say, there <br />were no furrows, gated pipe, side roll sprinkler system or other methods to control water <br />distribution. Irrigation water was allowed to traverse over the land at will. <br />• WFC owns 24 shares of Colorado Cooperative Company irrigation water and all of it is <br />dedicated to this tract. <br />• This tract of land has been abandoned from active farming for at least 15 years, <br />according to pre disturbance satellite images and the size and distribution of invasive <br />rose/sage brush and noxious weeds. <br />• There is no evidence the land was ever developed into a tract suitable to be irrigated by <br />a sprinkler system, but rather a flood irrigation technique was utilized. <br />• A flood irrigation design has been developed by WFC based on accepted NRCS <br />guidance and formulas. This design can be seen in Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e)-9. This <br />design provides a total Irrigated Pasture area of 25.62 acres. The remaining 46.02 acres <br />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 the landowner desires to do so. A minimum of <br />62 acres can be irrigated since the slopes are very mild (approx. 4%), which represents the <br />planned final topography, as seen on Map 2.05.4-5. As of May, 2010, most of this area has <br />already been reclaimed to these slopes. Since the planned irrigation area (25.62 acres) is at <br />the high point of the property, all lower areas can be easily irrigated if Lloyd decides to make <br />more water available for this area. The map shows the main pipe that would be used to irrigate <br />the proposed 25.62 acre area. If additional areas are irrigated after bond release, the pipe <br />would be extended to the north or south, as needed. <br />August 2013 PR -08 2.05.4(2)(e) - 7 <br />
