Based on aerial photos taken on October 14, 1976, see Exhibit 33-1, there were <br />a total of 26.1 irrigated acres at the UTL. Of the total, 13.9 acres are located <br />inside the loop and 12.2 acres are outside the loop. Therefore, it would be <br />possible for the Operator to restore the capability of flood irrigation to 12.2 acres, <br />87% of the acreage for which irrigation water is available. However the 12.2 <br />acres outside the loop that were previously irrigated are heavily overgrown with <br />brush and cottonwood trees, see Exhibit 33-2. The Operator would have to clear <br />the brush and trees in order to restore irrigation outside the loop. <br />The Operator asserts its plan to change the land use inside of the UTL loop to <br />active industrial use will not prohibit the capability to restore flood irrigation to <br />12.2 acres outside the loop. <br />• <br />• PR-04 21-7 New 07/07 <br />
