X. Operations on Prime Farmland <br /> A. Comparisons to determine revegetation success shall be based on crop production <br /> standards which the Division proposes to approve (4.25.2(3)). The production <br /> standard will be based on three years of production data from well managed <br /> hayland directly west of the proposed permit area. First year results (1987) <br /> indicate that about 6.0 tons per acre per year can be expected as a production <br /> success standard. <br /> B. The Division proposes to approve the planting of a perennial crop to be used as <br /> hay on prime farmlands. This has been shown to be a common long-term use of <br /> prime farmlands in the surrounding area (4.25.5(2)). <br /> m:\nwhrzn.fd <br /> I <br /> 22 <br />
