The area has been <br />topsoiled, graded, ripped and seeded on the contour. Immediately following <br />seeding the ground froze and when contour furrowing was initiated, the tractor <br />broke down. Due to the frozen nature of the ground, contour furrowing at the <br />present time would require ripping and disturbance of the seed bed. Due to <br />the areas relatively gentle slope, short slope length, southerly aspect, and <br />rough condition, significant erosion should not occur. As requested, CYCC <br />will install contour furrows next spring when weather and soil conditions <br />permit. <br />Bob indicated that this variance could be granted, however, he requested a <br />follow-up letter. If there are any questions, or a need for this request to <br />be submitted as a minor revision, please notify me. <br />Sincerely, <br />_~rrrul,2 ~ohnson. ~ ~c~ j <br />V Cl~.w .nce~ <br />Terrell K.
