ley lands include residential tracts, small businesses, and <br />sand and gravel quarries. Steeper upland. areas are largely <br />unused. <br />The following information regarding the land use on <br />the CWI property was obtained from Mr. Cliff Vontz, manager <br />of orchards. CWI owns about 208 acres in the North Fork valley <br />of which about 170 acres are used for orchards. This area is <br />divided between production of various fruits in the following <br />way: <br />apples 40 x' <br />cherries 30 7 <br />peaches 15 7 (some apricots) <br />pears 15 7 <br />The average fruit production from the whole property is about <br />80 tons per year. A11 CWI orchards are flood-irrigated and the <br />water supply is provided from CWI water rights on five dif- <br />ferent sources (irrigation ditches and springs). <br />According to Mr. L. D. Short, a District Conservation- <br />ist of the Soil Conservation Service in Delta, Colorado, the <br />land use as described for the CWI property is quite typical for <br />the North Fork valley. In this area only a limited acreage of <br />irrigated land is used for grain and alfalfa production. <br />Typical views of the alluvium on the CWI property are <br />shown in Figs. 1 - 7 in Appendix A. <br />- 10 - <br />~EO~+noao coaw~nnw, iNC. <br />
