Resolved. <br />c. The last paragraph of Subsection 4.4 on interseeding was removed per Division request, <br />as it duplicated information presented in Subsection 4.6.

The requested narrative modifications were provided. We note, however, that <br />liability period irrigation management associated with reclaimed 1P areas is not <br />addressed, and Subsection 4.6 would be the appropriate place to include such discussion. <br />Please address irrigation scheduling . and management throughout the growing season, as <br />impacted by yearly variations in weather, ditch water turn-out date, single or multiple <br />annual cuttings, livestock grazing, etc. Also, please include a reference to the subsection <br />of 2.05.4(2)(d) that addresses liability period fertility management Finally, provide the <br />correct Attachment reference for the NRCS letter referred to at the end of Subsection 4.6. <br />
