<br /> Page 6 May 2022 (PR-09) <br />developed a flood irrigation design for the Benson West property. This design can be seen in <br />Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e)-9. It allows for the irrigation of 12.40 acres of Irrigated Pasture with <br />12 shares of water. The remaining disturbed acres of the Benson west property will be <br />reclaimed as Dryland Pasture. Site grading will allow for future irrigation across a major <br />portion of the property. <br /> <br />Please see Map 2.05.4-5 for the location of the Irrigated Pasture and the Dryland Pasture <br />portions on this tract. Additional lands surrounding the irrigated pasture area can be irrigated in <br />the future if the landowner decides to do so. A minimum of 52 acres can be irrigated since the <br />slopes are very mild (approx. 2.5%). Since the planned irrigated pasture area is at the high <br />point, all lower areas can be easily irrigated if a future landowner decides to make the water <br />available for this area. <br /> <br />Lloyd Property (owned by ERMR) <br />This parcel is north of BB Road and immediately west of the aforementioned Benson West <br />parcel. For clarity of identification, it will be referred to as the Lloyd parcel. <br /> <br />This tract was originally classified by New Horizon as Irrigated Pasture and Rangeland. The <br />irrigated portions of this tract were flood Irrigated in the past. Irrigation water was allowed to <br />traverse over the land at will. There is not any evidence the land was ever developed into a tract <br />suitable to be irrigated by a sprinkler system. <br /> <br />Eighty-four shares of water are available for the Lloyd property, and a side roll irrigation <br />system (2 side rolls) are in place and provide irrigation water to 26 acres of Irrigated Pasture and <br />4 acres of Prime Farmland on the Lloyd Property. The remaining disturbance acres of <br />reclamation on the Lloyd’s property will be reclaimed as Dryland Pasture. <br /> <br />See Map 2.05.4-5 for the location of the irrigated pasture, irrigated cropland, prime farmland, <br />and dryland pasture portions of this tract. Additional lands surrounding the irrigated pasture area <br />can be irrigated in the future if the landowner desires to do so, since the slopes are very mild <br />(approx. 4%), which represents the planned final topography (Map 2.05.4-5). <br /> <br />Johnson Property (owned by ERMR) <br />This parcel is immediately west of the Lloyd parcel. <br /> <br />This tract was originally classified by New Horizon as Irrigated Pasture, Irrigated Pasture <br />Hayland, and Rangeland. Portions of these tracts were flood irrigated in the past. Irrigation <br />water was allowed to traverse over the land at will. An area of 98A soil of 4.76 acres in size <br />on this property was determined to be Prime Farmland by the NRCS. The construction of <br />Pond 013 disturbed some of this soil (3.96 acres). The prime farmland soil from Pond 013
