<br />8. Pazt (iii) of the same rule requires mapping of agricultural activities. Please map all <br />land uses on the above mentioned azea, also on a 1"=100' scale. Please include all <br />structures and features located within the area for which declassification is requested. <br />Please also 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 extent of the <br />ballast material. <br />9. Parts (iv) and (v) address documentation that areas are or are not subirrigated and flood <br />irrigable. The Division will assume that Oak Creek is both subirrigated and flood <br />irrigable, unless information to the contrary is submitted. <br />10. Pazt (vi) requires "Analysis of a series of aerial photographs, including color infrazed <br />imagery flown at a time of yeaz to show any late summer and fall differences between <br />upland and valley floor vegetative growth and of a scale adequate for reconnaissance <br />identification of azeas that may be alluvial valley floors." The Division has color <br />infrared aerial photographs of Oak Creek flown in September of 1978. Does P&M have <br />access to more recent color infrared photographs? If so, please provide the required <br />analysis to show the presence or absence of alluvial valley floors on the requested <br />portion of Oak Creek. <br />11. Please provide a detailed vegetation map (scale of 1"=100") for the requested area. <br />12. On January 11, 1993, I spoke with Nick Mezei of the United States Army Corps of <br />Engineers. Mr. Mezei requested information concerning Permit Revision 03. I then <br />spoke with Brian Gontarek, who agreed to send the original revision application <br />submittal to Mr. Mezei. Please also send copies of subsequent submittals to: <br />Mr. Nick Mezei <br />US Army Corps of Engineers <br />Regulatory Unit 4 <br />402 Rood Avenue, Room 142 <br />Grand Junction CO 81501-2563 <br />13. Some of the Division staff members will need to conduct a field reconnaissance of the <br />area when weather permits. We would like to be accompanied by members of your <br />staff, if possible, so that any questions or concerns identified might be addressed at that <br />time. I will contact you to arrange a time for a field outing. <br />Given the amount and type of information required to reach a decision on declassification of <br />Oak Creek, and the need for the Division to include field work in its review, the revision can <br />not be approved by the current March 19, 1993 deadline. If P&M wishes to pursue <br />declassification of oak Creek through Permit Revision 03, a request for a decision deadline <br />extension should be made. Alternatively, you may continue with your request to retain the <br />William Baggett 3 January 14, 1993 <br />
