There remains some low spots in the Benson west pasture,but these lower areas of the field do not <br /> appear to be pooling water or exhibiting die off. <br /> We observed the Irrigated Cropland(Morgan property)in Section 1, from the slope north of BB road. ERMR is <br /> working with the farmer regarding the areas affected by the pigweed in 202 LThe alfalfa in the irrigated cropland <br /> field is greening up. The grassed swale at the northwest corner of the Irrigated Cropland is holding well with well <br /> established grass. This feature is functioning well to reduce gully formation as the irrigation water and <br /> precipitation runoff drains off the field. The silt fence at the northern extent of this filed is properly installed and <br /> functioning as designed. <br /> We stopped at the irrigated pasture in Section 6,GW46 property. The pasture was greening up nicely with no sign <br /> of bare areas of location exhibiting noxious weed establishment. The side roll irrigation sprinklers are on site. <br /> The irrigation water has not come in yet, so irrigation had initiated on his field for the 2022 growing season. <br /> The vegetative cover on the dryland pasture in Section 6, south of the facilities area shows good cover. No <br /> problems were noted with this dryland pasture. <br /> The irrigated pasture reference area south of the facilities area remains fenced,no livestock was in this pasture at <br /> the time of the inspection. No concerns were noted at this time with this irrigated pasture reference area. <br /> SUPPORT FACILITIES-Rule 4.04: <br /> The facilities area remains well organized and neat. The operator continues to reduce the items stored on <br /> site. We saw no evidence of trash or other uncontained items around the facilities area. <br /> TOPSOIL—Rule 4.06 <br /> Removal 4.06.2; Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.06.3;Redistribution 4.06.4: <br /> The topsoil stockpile have identification signs visible. One sign had fallen down on the eastern Topsoil <br /> Stockpile 12. Tony noted that he would get this sign reset. Some of the Topsoil stockpile 12 piles still are thin on <br /> vegetative cover,however,these piles are not exhibiting erosion or weed infestation. <br /> Topsoil stockpile D continues to have a good stable vegetative cover. On Topsoil stockpile E footprint perennial <br /> vegetation is beginning to establish. There was a small patch towards the south of this regraded footprint that may <br /> have knapweed emerging. The operator will need to monitor this as the plants begin growing for a positive <br /> identification,and control if this patch proves to be noxious species. <br /> DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br /> OTHER(SPECIFY) NA <br /> ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection,nor are any pending. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 7 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
