The majority of the site has been planted to hay and is being harvested. <br />The quality and quantity of the crop lead me to conclude that the hayfields (comprising <br />approximately 80% of the property) have been irrigated. <br />There. does not appear to be critical habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, Ute <br />Ladies- tresses orchid or western burrowing owl. Further, no bald eagle nests or <br />individuals were observed on the property. <br />No wetland areas were observed. The Last Chance Ditch, an irrigation canal that has <br />been deemed waters of the United States by the Corps of Engineers, was flowing at the <br />time of my site visit today. If modifications to the Last Chance Ditch are anticipated, the <br />appropriate permit should be secured from the Corps of Engineers. <br />If we can be of further assistance, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael S.
