- Orchards have been re- classified as Cropland - irrigated orchards (Map symbol 1CO) <br />- Croplands have been re- classified as Croplands - irrigated alfalfa hay (Map symbol IC) <br />- Small grain croplands have been given a classification as Croplands -Small Grains (Map <br />svmbollCSGI <br />- Irrigated Hayland has been re-classified as Irrigated Pasture - Hayland (Map symbol /PH) <br />since the management of these areas did not qualify these areas to meet the intensity required <br />for classification as Irrigated Cropland in addition to soils that are not optimum. <br />- Irrigated Pasture (Map symbol IP) has not changed. <br />- Sagebrush (Map symbol SG) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Sagebrush 1 (Map symbol SG -1) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Sagebrush 2 (Map symbol SG -2) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Floodplain (Map symbol FP) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Deciduous Trees (Map symbol DT) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Farmsteads (Map symbol F) has not changed. It is a sub category under Residential Use. <br />- Existing Disturbed lands have now been called Residential - Open Space Disturbed Areas <br />(Map symbol D) <br />No boundaries of these land use areas have been changed; only the classification categories <br />to comply with Rule 1.04. Map 2.04. 10 also has the aerial photography from 1998, where <br />mining was active southeast of the intersection of 2700 Road and BB Road, near Pond 007. <br />This aerial shows details of much of the pre -mine land use and vegetation. The categories <br />shown Map 2.04. 10 are the same as those shown on Map 2.04.3 Pre -Mine Land Use. <br />We believe that one area of former Irrigated Hayland should be classsified as Irrigated <br />Cropland on the Morgan property due to consistent baling of hay and good soils, as well as the <br />NRCS determination of 2008. On the other hand, two areas of irrigated cropland (25.046 <br />acres) that are shown on Map 2.04.3, which were mapped in 1987 as Irrigated Cropland <br />immediately north and west of Pond 7 have been determined to be ilriggated pasta re <br />areas Cropland - Smal! Grains lICSGI instead. This is due to poor soils (See Section 2.04.9) <br />and the fact that most of this land is on the Burbridge property and he did not manage it <br />intensively. As stated in Section 2.04. 10 Vegetation Information, "Burbridge does not manage <br />for alfalfa in his hay fields and does not regularly renovate these fields because of shallow soils <br />and rock ledges. Consequently these haylands are dominated by a variety of desirable and <br />(Revised October 2009) 2.09.10 -15 <br />
