<br />7) Rule 2.06.8(3)(b)(ii) requires "Mapping of all lands that are <br />currently or were historically flood irrigated, showing the location of <br />each diversion structure, ditch, dam and related reservoir, irrigated land, <br />and topography of those lands." Map 4.6-16, "Irrigation Ditches and <br />Irrigated Lands" was submitted in the original application. Please advise <br />us of the accuracy of that map. If additional structures have been <br />constructed or land use changes have occurred, please provide a map on a <br />scale of 1 " = 100' which shows those features listed. A revised map <br />should include the area of declassification and lands 200' north and south. <br />Exhibit 4.6-16, "Irrigation Ditches and Irrigated Lands" remains <br />unchanged and, therefore correct. These hydrologic features are <br />located primarily in the Trout Creek valley outside the permit <br />boundaries. Field surveys conducted do not attest to construction of <br />additional irrigational ditches or irrigated lands in the Oak Creek <br />declassification area. Therefore, exhibits depicting additional <br />irrigation features in the declassification area are not provided, <br />since none were identified previously or through the recent field <br />survey. <br />8) Part (iii) of the same rule requires mapping of agricultural <br />activities. Please map all land uses on the above mentioned area, also on <br />a 1" =100' scale. Please include all structures and features located <br />within the area for which declassification is requested. Please also <br />include the present channel location of Oak Creek at normal flow and at <br />flood stage, the location of Highway 131, and the railroad tracks and <br />extent of the ballast material. <br />There is no physical evidence of farming due to the confined nature <br />of the valley and access by conventional farming equipment is <br />extremely restricted. Please reference Item 11 and Exhibits 4.6-10, <br />"Oak Creek -Alluvial Valley Floor, Declassification Area, Land <br />Use/Disturbance Map" and 4.6-11, "Oak Creek -Alluvial Valley <br />Floor, Declassification Area, Vegetation Map" for additional <br />information addressing this item. <br />
