RULE 2 PERMITS <br />2.04.12 Prime Farmland Investigation <br />In order to determine the presence of potential prime farmlands within the permit area, a reconnaissance <br />inspection was conducted to determine if any prime farmland was present in those areas to be disturbed <br />by surface operations or facilities. Results of the investigation indicate that all of the area to be disturbed <br />by surface operations or facilities can be excluded as prime farmland, since the land has not historically <br />been used as cropland. This conclusion is based upon consultation with the local Soil Conservation <br />Service (SCS). Based also on soil -survey information supplied by the Soil Conservation Service, no soil <br />series encountered on the area have been designated as soil mapping units applicable as prime farmland. <br />This conclusion is confirmed by correspondence from Mr. William Lee Hill, the USDA Soil <br />Conservationist for Moffat County, to Colowyo, enclosed as Exhibit 9, Soils information as a December <br />18, 1980 letter from Mr. William Lee Hill of SCS to Colowyo. The letter states that "No lands in Moffat <br />County have been designated as prime farmland." <br />Based upon the soil survey conducted by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and subsequent <br />interpretation of that survey by the SCS, Colowyo is hereby requesting a negative determination for prime <br />farmland. <br />2.04.13 Annual Reclamation and Hydrolgoy Report <br />Colowyo will submit the Annual Reclamation Report combined with the Annual Hydrolgoy Report by <br />March 15 of each year. <br />Rule 2 Permits 2.04.12-1 Revision Date: 3/13/15 <br />Revision No.: PR -04 <br />
