Lewicki & Associates <br />C -1981 -008 / MR -86 <br />13- Jun -2013 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />3. In regards to the herbaceous production quality standard, the revised plan indicates, "At <br />least 75% of the relative production as compared to the production obtained from the <br />Irrigated Pasture Reference Area will be comprised of seeded species or species of <br />comparable quality as livestock forage." This revised sentence is unclear. The language <br />needs to specify what specific area is being referenced, and the plant life form and /or <br />species they are referring to in regards to relative production. It would be helpful to have <br />an illustration in the permit of how this will be determined. <br />4. Similar to the item above, revised page 60 discusses the herbaceous production quality <br />standard for the Dryland Pasture. It indicates the relative production as compared to the <br />production obtained from the Irrigated Pasture Reference Area will be comprised of <br />seeded species or species of comparable quality as livestock forage. The Division <br />believes the sentence should refer to the Dryland Pasture Reference Area. However, as <br />indicated above the revised sentence itself is unclear and needs to be clarified. <br />This concludes our adequacy review for MR -86. Please submit your responses to these items at <br />your earliest convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcia L. Talvitie, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Douglas C.
