Photo 1. The recently top soiled area has not yet been seeded. <br /> The operator is in the process of adding topsoil to the Benson East irrigated pasture. This field is no longer within <br /> the permit area,but utilization of topsoil in excess of that required for the remaining disturbed area was approved <br /> with MR115. Photo 2. <br /> It appears that some of Topsoil stockpile 12 has been utilized. [The Operator notified the Division on 9/14/2020 <br /> that topsoil is being added to Topsoil Stockpile 12,not removed from it. The Division corrects this <br /> statement.] IP parcel adjacent and immediately west of IP-9 appears to have been recently regraded, and the <br /> irrigation side-roll sprinklers are in place and watering this irrigated pasture. It is appropriate to move the Topsoil <br /> stockpile 12 material to this field.
