<br />• ~ South Fork could fit within the streamlaid deposits of Lorencito Canyon; (DIH) <br />c) If indeed a pazcel of land the size of the irrigated pazcel could fit within the <br />~``' Lorencito Canyon streamlaid deposits, discuss why this potential parcel, if situated <br />5 within the perennial streamflow reaches of Lorencito Canyon (Map 2.04.7-2), <br />U,l~'~55~~ would not have the capability or potential to support flood-irrigated agricultural <br />activities (Sections 2.08.8(3)(c)(i)(A), (c)(i)(B)(II), (c)(ii), and ].04(8)).

(DIH) <br />121. On page 2.06-3, it is stated that a "rail spur will be built on a rail fill 50 feet wide, which <br />crosses 975 feet of alluvial valley floor." While this 1.1-acre distwbance may not be <br />\t ;~ significant in area, it appeazs as if the rail line will be an obstacle to any farming <br />(t5 equipment (tractors, combines, etc) that may have traversed that area during past farming <br />~ ~ operations. (DIH) <br />~~ ~t) Please provide additional information regarding how equipment currently is utilized in this <br />~,1~ proposed disturbance, how equipment travel directions may change as a result of the rail <br />~qF~^ spur's construction, and to what degree, if any, this change in equipment travel direction <br />~,~1,, or use will affect the farm's productivity. (DIH) <br />122. It is stated on page 2.06-3 that "the disturbance of the Purgatoire River alluvial valley <br />floor is surficial, and will not impact the geohydrologic functions of the AVF". As plans <br />l for the construction of the rail spur have not as yet been provided, the Division cannot <br />~~~ by concur with this statement at this time. As such, the Division must require the applicant <br />~ to provide plans for an environmental monitoring system for the AVF in accordance with <br />x~~ Section 4.24.4 of the Board's Regulations. <br />Please realize that once the plans for the railroad spur are provided to the Division, the <br />Division may still require plans for an AVF environmental monitoring system. (DIH) <br />~5` time, design specifics for the railroad spur have not been submitted.
