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 USDA/NRCS office. <br /> Based also on soil-survey information supplied by the Soil Conservation Service, no soil series <br /> encountered on the area have been designated as soil mapping units applicable as prime farmland. Please <br /> refer to the materials located in Volume 19, Exhibit 9, Item 9 for copies of the relevant correspondence. <br /> Based upon the soil survey conducted by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, subsequent interpretation of <br /> that survey by the SCS, and the PR-03 findings document produced by the Division, a negative <br /> determination for the prime farmland within the permit area has been made. <br /> 2.04.13 Annual Reclamation Report <br /> Please see Section 2.04.13 in Volume 1. <br /> Collom—Rule 2,Page 70 Revision Date: 6/22/20 <br /> Revision No.: MR-220 <br />
