In the narrative for Subsection 3.0 please reference that the <br />correspondence with the landowners is in Attachment 2.05.4(2)(3)-8. For areas that are <br />being reclaimed to dryland pasture, WFC included a copy of the proposed seedmix. As <br />requested, WFC also sent letters to the landowners east of 2700 Road. <br />53. WFC provided the proposed irrigation plans in the letters to the landowners where irrigation is <br />proposed. <br />54. WFC has revised the discussion on irrigated parcels in subsection 3.0 of Section 2.05.4(2)(e) as <br />follows. <br />a. WFC has provided documentation using NRCS design criteria for the acre/share ratio for <br />postmine; irrigated pastureland areas using both sideroll irrigation and flood irrigation. The <br />irrigation designs are in Attachment 2.05.4(2)(3)-8 and 9. <br />Benson West - 79.76 acres. 44 shares of water. WFC proposes to flood irrigate 12.4 <br />acres on Benson West and return 55.8 acres to dryland pasture. Part of the Benson <br />West: has not been disturbed. The remaining 31.6 shares of water are used to irrigate <br />Benson's property east of 2700 Road. <br />• Lloyd Property - 79.74 acres. 24 shares of water. WFC proposes to flood irrigate 25.62 <br />acres and return 46.02 acres to dryland pasture. Part of Lloyd's property has not been <br />disturbed by mining. <br />WFC Property (originally Johnson Property) - 95.89 acres (was 57.6) 3.96 acres are <br />Prime Farmland that have been disturbed and will be returned to flood irrigated cropland <br />using 4 to 6" HDPE pipe from proposed pipe on southern end of property. 2.44 shares. <br />Proposed irrigation design is the same as Morgan flood irrigation in Attachment 2.05., <br />although no specific designs shown for the WFC property. 91.93 acres will be dryland <br />pasture. Capability for future irrigation is discussed. <br />• Morgan Property - All 107.96 disturbed acres of the Morgan property have been <br />designated Prime Farmland. WFC is proposing to irrigate the reclaimed fields using at <br />least 62 shares of water. In the discussion under 4), the second bullet, please revise the <br />reference to the lease addendum letter for the additional water to say it is included in <br />Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e)-7. <br />• WFC Property in southeast part of permit area. 29.36 acres. Originally Irrigated <br />Pasture, the parcel will be reclaimed to Dryland Pasture because no water is available. <br />The land will be graded such that irrigation could occur in the future. <br />b. Resolved. <br />55. WFC has revised the narrative so that the change in post mining land use for the Dirk Richards <br />parcel located north of BB Road and immediately to the west of the NH-2 permit boundary is <br />discussed in. Section 2.05.4(2)(e) Subsection 3.1. Portions of this property were irrigated prior <br />to mining and originally designated as Irrigated Pasture, but they have been re-designated <br />dryland pasture due to the lack of available water.
