The map msut include the entire study area as defined in bl previously. The map they have submitted does not include enough adjacent areas nor does it map downstream from the Permit area. 3. Water Availability - Flood Irrigation The existence of flood irrigation and the capability of the land to be flood irrigated must be established, AZZ flood irrigated lands in or adjacent to the permit area should be mapped. Zt should include any Lands that were historically flood irrigated and the reason they were abandoned (if known). To evaluate the capability of flood irrigation, a map or identification of lands in the region that are flood irrigated could be submitted. The identification should include those lands with similar physiographic, agricultural, geologic, climatic, hydrologic, soils and vegetation characteristics. If other agencies or professionals do the AVF study or render opinions that the applicant wants the Division to consider, the applicant must submit the study information to allow the Division to verify the finding. For example, if Dorchester submits a letter from a professional that states that no alluvium is present, we will need to know how he arrived at that conclusion. (What did the study area include? How was the survey conducted? what definitions, guidelines, or assumptions were used? etc.) 2.10 Maps and Plans (3) A11 maps must show the permit boundaries. Since no permit boundary was delineated, the Division has assumed the permit boundary to be the lease boundary. The applicant must define the permit boundary and submit this information. All maps, plans and cross-sections in the application must be verified as to their accuracy. A1Z maps, plans and cross-sections that come under rule 2.I0 directly, or by reference, shall be pre- pared by or under the direction of, and certified by, a qualified registered professional engineer or a professional geologist, with the assistance of experts in the appropriate field. R11 maps, plans and cross-sections requiring certification must bear an original signature. However, in order to avoid unnecessary work, only the final master copy on file with the Division must bear an . original signature. The other copies may bear a reproduction of the professional seal. An example of an acceptable method of handling map verification would be to place the following statement on each original map, plan or cross-section: "I certify this map is correct to the best of my knowledge, as was prepared by Mr. who is a qualified professional Soil Scientist (or other appropriate professional title)." This statement can then be properly signed and stamped by the appro- priate registered professional engineer or the professional geologist. (t ii
