<br /> <br />July 1993 -25- 923-2515 <br />5.2.2 Water Rights. Irrigation Ditches and Diversion Points <br />There aze no existing water rights for agricultural irrigation, or irrigation ditches along Unnamed <br />Draw (Table S.1Tj. There are inactive water rights for Nofstger Reservoir and for ditches to <br />fill the reservoir. However, field reconnaissance failed to locate any evidence of ditches azound <br />Nofstger Reservoir. Currently, the water in Nofstger Reservoir is inactive for irrigation because <br />the Colorado Division of Wildlife uses the water and reservoir for fish habitat. <br />5.2.3 Existing Flood Irrigation Areas <br />There are no flood irrigated fields along Unnamed Draw. <br />5.2.4 Subirrigated Areas <br />Subirrigated azea dominated by native wetland occurs azound and upstream of Nofstger <br />Reservoir and continuously along the stream channel (Figure 2). <br />5.2.5 Potential Flood Irrigation Areas <br />Soils: The major soils in the alluvium, undifferentiated valley fill, and other deposits along <br />Unnamed Draw are characterized by the Spicerton Variant fine sandy loam, Dunckley-Skyway <br />complex, and Cyroboroll-Rock outcrop complex (Figure 3). <br />The Spicerton Variant fine sandy loam is a deep, well drained soil on stream terraces formed <br />in alluvium derived from shale. This unit includes small areas of soil similaz to the Spicerton <br />Variant soil, but with a water table at a depth of 40 to 60 inches. Soil permeability is very low <br />the available water holding capacity high, and runoff medium. Effective rooting depth of plants <br />~ ~ ~ is 30-40 inches. The Spicerton Variant fine sandy loam is not irrigable because of its high <br />Golder Associates <br />
