Furthermore, the Morgan family withdrew their objections to TR-57 on April 22, <br />2009. TR-57 was the permit revision that implemented the use of bench 1 <br />materials as subsoil on the Morgan Property. Thus, the Morgan family has <br />already withdrawn their objections to the use of bench 1 materials and cannot <br />resurrect them in connection with PR 06. <br />Comment No. 20: <br />2.04.9-17 "Prime Farmland Soils" they again start adding to and interpreting <br />what they want instead of just writing down the definitions as they appear. <br />Prime farmland soils are those that have the best physical and chemical <br />characteristics. All of the other things they added are not for prime farmland <br />SOILS. <br />WFC Response: <br />WFC does not disagree with this comment to the extent it is simply a general <br />comment as to the definition of Prime Farmland Soils. <br />Comment No. 21: <br />Page 2.04.9-18 "Prime Farmland" All added information that is not part of <br />rules and regulations. <br />(1) historically used as cropland (remember this is 5 out of 10 years- <br />(2) slopes less than 6 % <br />(3) adequate and dependable water supply which for this area is the CC ditch <br />(4) growing season of more than 90 days <br />(5) very little rocks in the soil <br />(6) prime farmland soils have been determined which are soils with the best <br />physical and chemical characteristics. "In the reclamation plan, lands are <br />labeled IC." They have ours labeled as IP. All the maps are wrong and this is <br />not acceptable. <br />"Irrigated Cropland." There is no such designation in the rules and <br />regulations. Cropland is a legal designation, not irrigated cropland. For <br />those people who live around dove creek and only have dryland they raise <br />beans, wheat, corn, sunflowers and many CROPS and their properties are <br />designated CROPLAND. There is no such designation in rule 1.04 that <br />designates Irrigated cropland and Cropland or cropland that has been <br />irrigated DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PRIME FARMLAND TO BE CROPLAND. <br />PRIME FARMLAND MUST BE CROPLAND BUT CROPLAND DOES NOT <br />HAVE TO PRIME FARMLAND. These rules and laws were made and <br />developed and signed into place by President Carter for a reason. If the rules <br />and regulations state how you should designate a piece of property, USE <br />THAT SPECIFIC designation. DONT add your own words to them.
