Sent 8y: CANON CITY FSC; <br />719 275 3019; Aug-28-04 2:1BPM; Page 3 <br />The conclusion as to whether the Shanta soil area is irrigable by flood irrigation is <br />debatable. As.l have already noted the site is a small acreage, too small to <br />realistically justify construction of an irrigation system. A major item is the lack of an <br />existing water right for the land. The nearby stream, Oak Greek,ls already over <br />appropriated. There is realistically no irrigation water available. Even existing water <br />rights (Oak Creek} dating 1918 are now much too junior to assure dependable <br />irrigation uses. <br />If irrigation water was available and the site was much larger in area. I believe the <br />presently restored soil conditions would now be suitable for flood irrigation farming. <br />If additional information is needed, contact this office at the above phone number. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~~ <br />Roy per <br />Soil anservationist <br />Enclosures: Maps (2} <br />Solis descriptions <br />CONSERVATION -DEVELOPMENT -SELF-GOVERNMENT <br />E-mail address: janet.bamhart~co.nacdnet.net <br />
