<br />-2- <br />only area that could even be considered for irrigation is near <br />a River. However, this area is also in non-irrigated cropland on <br />cep elopes. The sediment production from these areas would <br />~y silt in any irrigation system unlace cleaner water could be <br />in to dilute the silt load. <br />lecauae of the Low production potential, and the high coat of heavy <br />pment, it would not be economically feasible to prepare any area of <br />say Creek for irrigation. I'm referring to land leveling. stream <br />ennelization, water delivery system, Land clearing etc. <br />. Current use ie very productive rangeland. Certain areas are probably <br />aub-irrigated and support native and some invading introduced epeciea. <br />This provides excellent livestock feed at a very minimal coat. <br />Needless to say, it is my opinion that Grassy Creek is not suited to <br />irrigation. Present land use, rangeland, is moat appropriate. <br />• Sincerely, <br />~'''Uan Robins ---- <br />Range Conservationist <br />Craig Field Office <br />DCR;ee <br />• <br />
