<br />~nks and Gesso, LLC <br />Agricultural CfODS and Practices <br />Corn and leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, cabbage, and beans, have been the <br />historic agricultural crops planted and harvested on the property. Photos 2 and <br />3, respectively, show flood irrigation being practiced for raising lettuce on the <br />western portion of the property and cabbage on the eastern portion. All photos <br />were taken in July of 1999. <br />Photo 4 shows the applicant's permitted irrigation well on the south end of the <br />site. This alluvial well has historically been used for flood irrigation of the <br />property. The well will remain on the permit site for use in the aggregate washing <br />and hatching operations. Approval will be obtained fora "change of use" with the <br />Colorado Division of Water Resources. <br />Summary <br />In summary, based on the proposed mine and reclamation plans (see Exhibit D <br />and E) and given the proposed excavation areas for the project, the total wetland <br />loss (probably less than one acre) along the Lupton Bottom Ditch will only <br />undergo a temporary setback, until a greater amount of wetland vegetation <br />establishes itself around the perimeter of the reservoir shorelines after <br />reclamation is complete. <br />Ft.
