2.06.8 (3) (b) (ii) <br />• as farming or orchards. Section 2.05.3(4) describes the diversion <br />system of ditches proposed for the Grand Mesa Coal Company mine <br />site. The Drainage System Map, 2.05.3(4)-1, shows the location <br />of each of the diversion structures and the topography of those <br />lands. Drawing 2.04.5-1, shows the locations of the irrigation <br />ditch diversions from ward Creek and Williams Creek. Table <br />2.04.5-l tabulates these ditch diversions by priority number and <br />volume. <br />Drawing 2.06.8(3)(b)(ii)-1 illustrates the location of surface <br />creeks within and adjacent to the permit area of the Grand t4esa <br />Coal Company's Red Canyon #1 Mine and proposed #2 Mine. Related <br />reservoirs are also shown. The pasture and orchard areas <br />designated on the Land Use Map, 2.04.3(2)(a)-1, are again <br />indicated on Drawing 2.06.8(3)(b)(ii)-1. <br />• None of the agricultural lands shown on Drawing 2.06.B(3)(b)(ii)-1 <br />are flood irrigated. All utilize the "furrow" irrigation method. <br />The related reservoirs to the north of Grand Mesa collect the <br />snow melt runoff. This water is then transported for irrigation <br />by the various creeks shown on Drawing 2.06.8(3)(b)(ii)-1 and <br />by numerous ditches. <br />The system of irrigation ditches is quite complex. As stated <br />previously, Drawing 2.04.5-1 and Table 2.04.5-1 show the locations <br />and volume of the irrigation ditch diversions of Ward Creek and <br />Williams Creek. <br />(iii) Mapping of all lands included in the area in accordance <br />with 2.06.6(3) and subject to agricultural activities, showing <br />the area in which different types of agricultural lands, such as <br />flood irrigated lands, pasture lands and undeveloped rangelands <br />exist, and accompanied by measurements of vegetation in terms <br />of productivity and type. <br />• <br />REVISED May 8, 1981 162 <br />
