Nevertheless, the area is too small to be considered prime farmland soil -and was never <br />managed as prime farmland in the past. For this reason, this small tract is not considered prime <br />farmland and the special handling procedures for prime farmland soil do not apply. This was <br />verified by the NRCS in 2008. See NRCS letter dated June 27, 2008 in Attachment 2.04.9 -10. <br />8.1.6 Area north of BB Road and east of 2700 Road <br />The area east of 2700 Road and north of BB Road has been fully reclaimed with topsoil and <br />subsoil prior to the prime farmland determination of 2008. In this area, two areas of 98E soil <br />exist. One is 16.94 acres and the other is 1.32 acres. Also, an area of 1.24 acres of 98A soil <br />exists. These prime farmland soil areas are located on the Benson property east of 2700 Road. <br />None of these areas were ever managed as prime farmland prior to mining. The 16.94 acre <br />parcel has been reclaimed to Irrigated Pasture, as desired by the landowner. The NRCS is not <br />considering these areas prime farmland. <br />Therefore, the total area to be treated as prime farmland is 107.96 acres (-aft rom the Morgan <br />property intheper n I area). <br />(Revised October 2009) 2.05.4(2)(d) -17 <br />
