Schmieding <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />D1ined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman St. <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Greeley Sand and Gravel, Weld County, Application for <br />Mining and reclamation permit. <br />Dear Mr. Schmieding: <br />We are submitting a copy of an aerial photo of the land included <br />in the above referenced application. The yellow areas indicate <br />irrigated pasture and the green areas indicate irrigated farmed <br />land. <br />We have discussed your objections with the man who has farmed this <br />land for the past ten years, and feel confident the following <br />should satisfy the concern of the Division of Water Resources re- <br />garding evaporation. <br />The farm land presently under irrigation is approximately 80~. <br />Silage corn, used in feeding operations, is raised on approximately <br />40/ of the land and approximately 40~ is irrigated pasture for <br />cattle grazing. The pasture land requires approximately the same <br />amount of water as the corn. The remaining 20f of the farm does <br />not contain top soil conducive to the growth of ar>,y crop, as a re- <br />sult of the river having run through this section. <br />This farm land is under 550 shares of Boyd Irrigation which draws <br />water directly from the Cache La Poudre River and these shares are <br />non-transferable to ar>,y other property. This land has never re- <br />quired all the water alloted to it. The water normally used for <br />irrigation would be left in the river in the areas where gravel <br />would be extracted, thereby making available the water to satisfy <br />evaporati~{ loss. <br />C : wi <br />~' <br />~~~ ~J <br />J.
