Lloyd Property (owned by New Horizon) <br />This parcel of 79.74 acres is north of BB Road and immediately west of the aforementioned <br />Benson parcel. It is owned by the New Horizon Mine. For clarity of identification, it will be <br />referred to as the Lloyd parcel. <br />• This tract was originally classified by New Horizon as Irrigated Pasture and Rangeland. <br />• The irrigated portions of this tract were flood Irrigated in the past. Irrigation water was <br />allowed to traverse over the land at will. There is not any evidence the land was ever <br />developed into a tract suitable to be irrigated by a sprinkler system. <br />• New Horizon owns 24 shares of Colorado Cooperative Company irrigation water and <br />all of it is 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 />• A side roll irrigation design has been developed by New Horizon based on Natural <br />Resources Conservation Service Irrigation Handbooks and Manuals and National <br />Engineering Handbook Sec. 15, Chap. 11. This design can be seen in Attachment <br />2.05.4(2)(e)-9. This design provides a total Irrigated Pasture area of 13.35 acres. The <br />remaining 58 acres of reclamation on the Lloyd's property will be reclaimed as Dryland <br />Pasture. <br />See Map 2.05.4-5 for the location of the irrigated and the dryland pasture portions of this tract. <br />Additional lands surrounding this 25.62 acre irrigated area can be irrigated in the future if the <br />landowner desires to do so. A minimum of 62 acres can be irrigated since the slopes are very mild <br />(approx. 4%), which represents the planned final topography (Map 2.05.4-5). Since the planned <br />irrigation area (25.62 acres) is at the high point of the property, all lower areas can be easily <br />irrigated if New Horizon decides to make more water available for this area. <br />Johnson Property (owned by New Horizon) <br />This parcel is immediately west of the Lloyd parcel. It is owned by New Horizon Mine, and <br />totals of 95.89 acres. <br />This tract was originally classified by New Horizon as Irrigated Pasture, Irrigated <br />Pasture Hayland, and Rangeland. <br />Portions of these tracts were flood irrigated in the past. Irrigation water was allowed to <br />traverse over the land at will. <br />New Horizon does not own sufficient water to irrigate this land overall since it <br />has only 12 shares for a total of 95.89 acres. <br />Page 8 October 2016 (TR -75) <br />
