Straw Wattle Sediment Control <br />As is seen on the final topography Map 2.05.4-1-3, portions of the Morgan property do not drain directly <br />to Pond 011. The Morgans have strongly expressed that they do not want collection ditches in these <br />areas since they will collect water and saturate the alfalfa, thus killing it. Also, the Morgans have <br />expressed that the center pivot will be difficult to operate across ditches. Instead, WFC has worked with <br />the Morgan family to agree on an alternate method of sediment control for these areas, which is a straw <br />wattle, as shown in the attached picture and specification sheet. This wattle would be installed in the <br />locations shown on Map 2.05.3(3)-1-2 to ensure that sediment control is provided without the use of <br />ditches. The wattles will be installed immediately after successful soil replacement according to the <br />permit. <br />Once vegetation is established on the irrigated area and erosion can be controlled by this vegetation, the <br />straw wattles will be removed when the requirements of Rule 4.05.2(2) are met and demonstrated to the <br />Division. Vegetation should be established rapidly since the area will have good soil, and will be seeded <br />with an initial cover crop of oats and irrigated. <br />Photo 1- Typical wattle Installation <br />Revised December 2014 JR -65) Attachment 2.05.3(3)-1-85 <br />
