<br />South Fork could fit within the streamlaid deposits of Lorencito Canyon; (DIH) <br />c) If indeed a parcel 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 />within the perennial streamflow reaches of Lorencito Canyon (Map 2.04.7-2), <br />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 1.04(8)). (DIH) <br />d) If such a pazcel of land could fit within the alluvial deposits in Lorencito Canyon, <br />and if such a parcel could have the capability or potential to support flood- <br />irrigated agricultural activities, please discuss why those lands within Lorencito <br />Canyon upon which this parcel could be situated should not be considered by the <br />Division as alluvial valley floors. (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 disturbance may not be <br />significant in area, it appears as if the rail line will be an obstacle to any farming <br />equipment (tractors, combines, etc) that may have traversed that area during past farming <br />operations. (DIH) <br />Please provide additional information regarding how equipment currently is utilized in this <br />proposed disturbance, how equipment travel directions may change as a result of the rail <br />spur's construction, and to what degree, if any, this change in equipment travel direction <br />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 />for the construction of the rail spur have not as yet been provided, the Division cannot <br />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 />Section 4.24.4 of the Board's Regulations. <br />Please realize that once the plans for the railroad spur aze provided to the Division, [he <br />Division may still require plans for an AVF environmental monitoring system. (DIH) <br />123. Table AV-4 uses the two phrases "Discharge only of stream into aquifer" and "Rechazge <br />only from stream into aquifer". Are these two phrases not saying the same thing? If so, <br />please use consistent terminology. (KAG) <br />124. The railroad spur will cross an alluvial valley floor irrigated by the Chacon ditch. At this <br />time, design specifics for the railroad spur have not been submitted. Please ensure that <br />information to demonstrate compliance with Rule 2.06.8(4) and Rule 4.24 is submitted <br />with the railroad spur permit materials. (ICAG) <br />Rules 2.06.9. 2.06.10, 2.06.11, and 2.06.12 <br />
