they add to what people document. <br />"The fields southwest of the intersection of BB road and 2700 road have sufficient prime <br />farmland soil such that the entire area of fields is considered prime farmland soils 107.96 acres <br />disturbed." This in fact is 140 minus 25 acres. They put a road through the middle of our fields <br />and a pond which is against the lave. 4.25(4) Water Bodies if any constructed. during mining and <br />reclamation operations must be located on NON PRIME FARMLAND PORTIONS AND MUST <br />BE APPROVED BY ALT, PROPERTY OWNERS, We BEGGED Sandy and Marcia and Dan <br />not to put the pond in our field. No One got permission from us, we were told by ALL of them <br />that we had NO choice in the matter. The ,A.ggxegate total of prime farmland cannot be decreased <br />for any reason. "'Although WFC has mined the Eastern portion of these areas prior to the prime <br />farnil SOILS designation" See how they li.e. Ian. the previous paragraph, they already admitted <br />that Barx SOILS were considered prime in 1992. We did not sign a contract until 1998. Now do <br />you see what they are doing and how they lie to try and cover up for all the mistakes that have <br />been made? "Water availability from the Morgans has determined the entire fields can be <br />restored to prime :farmland used as IC." This has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. The entire <br />property was Prime Farmland and irrigated cropland for 50 years and W. Morgan is the largest <br />stock holder and it has been historically irrigated and cropped for 50 years. He irrigated it with <br />50 shares, 1 share does 2 acres of land and I "mn sorry that Ross Gubka knows nothing about our <br />operation that is factual. If they cannot get the facts right, just make them leave out the <br />i.infon nation because I am already going to sue for slander and the violation of false <br />documentation and I am just getting much more fire power here. <br />First off, Federal nor State laws have an IC designation. or An IP designation that has been used <br />for numerous years illegally. I should be able to pick up the Colorado Surface Mining Laws and <br />be anywhere in the United States and be reading the laws the same everywhere. They don't <br />have this designation h 1,04 because there are numerous COLORADO Farms that are <br />CROPLAND and do not have any water by the means of irrigation. Very productive farms that <br />are dryland such as Dove Creek, Cortez, Egnar, pleasant View, etc. And these farms when <br />mined are labeled CROPLAND, or PASTURELAND, or Rangeland. The State and WFC has <br />used lableing based on Peabody and EDNA coal when there were NO laws and being Prior to <br />1977 and just continued and added to the actual designation without ever taken the REAL LAWS <br />AND REAL TERMINOLOGY INTO CONSIDERATION. And if I owned a piece of property in <br />Dovecreek, I would already being suing for changing all. of this terminology around to suit <br />your; elves. Stick with. the laws and the facts, don't deviate. <br />2.04.9 -20 "according to NRCS requirements for prime farmland due to a lack of appropriate <br />water, and other management." Prime farmland has nothing to do with management. Also <br />NRCS is not the LAW, According to the laws ,rules and regulations set forth by the Federal and <br />State governments. And it is not appropriate water., It is an Adequate and depeandabl.e water <br />supply. Make them stick to the exact wording and facts. <br />2.04.9 -20 &21 "Never. theless,the area is too small to be considered prime farmland and was never <br />managed as prime farmland in the past" Again, MANAGEMENT is not a qualification. Too <br />small. to be considered prime farmland END <br />
