5) The parcel of 29.36 acres in the extreme southeast corner of the permit area, which is now <br />owned by WFC. As of the start of PR -08, this parcel has not yet been reclaimed since it <br />contains the main overburden 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 Pasture (DP) in 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 comer 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) - 10 <br />
