This unit is moderately well suited to irrigated crops. lf furrow or corrugation irrigation systems are used, runs should be on the contour or across the slope. lf properly managed, the unil can produce 70 bushelS of barley per acre annually. The potential plant community on this unit is mainly western wheatgrass, lndian ricegrass, needleandthread, big sagebrush, and Douglas rabbitbrush. Nevada bluegrass, prairie iunegrass, and bottlebrush squirreltail also are included. The average annual production of air- dry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre. Suitable management practices include proper grazing use and a planned grazing system. lf the quality of range vegetation has seriously. deteriorated, seeding is needed. The main limitations are cobbles and stones. For successful seeding, a seedbed should be prepared and the seed drilled' Brush management improves deteriorated areas of range that are producing more woody shrubs than were present in the potential plant community. lf this unit is used for homesite development, the , main limitation is small stones. Population growththas resulted in,increased construction of homes, in areas of this unit. Topsoil can be stockpiled,and'used to reclaim areas disturbed during construction" The gravel and cobbles in disturbed areasrshould'be removed if the site is landscaped, particularly in areas used for lawns. lf the density of housing is moderate or high, Qommunity sewage systems are needed to prevent the contamination of water supplies resulting from seepage from onsite sewage disposal systems.

The average annual precipitation is 18 to 20 inches, the average annual air temperature is 39 to 41 degrees F, and the average frost-free period is 70 to 80 days.

Both ol the major soils are local sources of gravel and crushed rock and are utilized as such in quarry operations. The potential plant communily on the Dahlquist soil is mainly western wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, prairie junegrass, true mountainmahogany, and big sagebrush. Other plants that characterize this site are antelope bitterbrush, Utah serviceberry, lndian ,, ricegrass, and Douglas rabbitbrush. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation is about 900 : .,punds,per acre, lf,the range condition deteriorates; big sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, and cheatgrass increase in abundance. The potential plant community on the Southace soil is mainly bluebunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, lndian ricegrass, big sagebrush, and Utah serviceberry. Other plants that characterize this site are bottlebrush squirreltail, fringed sagebrush, scattered pinyon pine, and Utah juniper. The average annual production of air- dry vegetation is about 600 pounds per acre. lf the range condition deteriorates, big sagebrush, fringed sagebrush, cheatgrass, and broom snakeweed increase in abundance. The suitability of this unit for range seeding is poor. Mechanical treatment is not practical because of the slones on the surface and the slope. Suitable management practices include proper range use, deferred grazing, and rotation grazing. Aerial spraying is suitable for brush managemenl. Because of the hazard of seepage, this unit is limited as a site for livestock watering ponds and other water impoundments. lf this unit is used for homesite development, the main limitations are the slope and the large stones. The graveland cobbles in disturbed areas should be removed if the site is landscaped, particularly in areas used for lawns. The slope is a management concern if septic tank absorption fields are installed. Absorption lines should be installed on the contour.

The Nieslanik Exemption proposes to create one new Z.OO5 acre lot (Parcel 1) on the 66 acre property. The in house water demands will be supplied by an individuat well. The well witt also provide 12,5OO square feet of landscape and lawn iriigation around the perimeter of the house, water tor a 2,4OO square foot pond, and 3 horces. Add1ional outside inigation will be supplied by continued use of inigation water rights on the property. Sewage disposalwill be through an ISDS system. LEGAL WATER SUPPLY ,i' '' The legat water supply,for thq'Nieslanik Exemption will be based on issuance of a B,agqltwater ' Consefoancy District (Oistrictl ryater altotment contract. The District:was create-d'in.'1963 for;the, purposes ottonservirg, Oeretoping, and stabilizing water suppliesfor the benefrt of t1se1s within . [6sip66dng Fork Va[Ei. Todai,,the District operates a comprehensive water:supply p_lan that frovides liousands of Valley residents with dependable legal water supplies. The District's ,. *atgr (ghts ap used to beneJit its contractees, by allowing them to continue to divert water at'. their *.ii, rprinl, ;;A;; diversion in times'of-shortage when their use would otherwise be curtaited. tne DistriA owns substantia! domestic, municipal, and agricultural water rights, and maintains severat reservoir storage contracts with the US Bureau of Reclamation for the release of waterfrom Ruediand Green Mountain Reservoirs. The Nieslanik Exemption is located within the District's Service Area A. Therefore, by obtaining a water allotment contract with the District, the water uses associated with Parce! 1 are covered under the District's Substitute Water Supply Plan (SWSP). By operating under the umbrella of the SWSP, Parcel 1 will have a legalwater supply. The Applicant, Paul and Celia. Nieslanik, applied for a water allotment contract with the Distn$ in December 2007. The appiication is beirig heard by the District's Board of Directors at the next monthly District meeting. Based on our familiarity with the District's Program, we do not foresee any reason why thJapplication will not be approved. Once approved, a copy of the contract will be forwarded to Garfield County' WATER DEMAND Water demand for Parcel 1 is estimated at 350 gallons per day based on 3.5 people per house requiring 100 gallons per person per day. This equates to an average continuous pumping rate of b.ZS-gallon-s per mintite (gpm) from the water supply well. lncluding the outdoor uses associated with the well, the miximum month average use frorn the well is 2.0 gpm. Therefore, a long term sustained yield greater than 2.0 gpm is desired.

A coiy of the District's engineering calculation for the Nieslanik Exemption is attached. PHYSICAL WATER SUPPLY The physical supply for the proposed Niestanik Exemption will be from a proposed well on the property. While 'a well has'noi yet been dritled, we believe a dependable water supply with iOequate quantity and quality to serve a singte family residence on Parcel 1 will be availabb from the construction of a new well. Once the well is completed, a pump test (minimum of 4 noJoiwill be performed on the weltto determine the drawdown and recharge and verify that an adequate watbr supply is available to support the proposed uses and water quality testing fpriniary drinking wbiei standards including bacteria.and nitrates) will $ RerformeO. lt is our rinderstlnding tf,at this information will be required prior to the signing glllte exemption plat. ln the unlike[ Lvent that the water quality does not meet primary dirking water standards, recommeniations for an appropriate treatment process will be provided. The Nieslanik Exemption is tocated approximately 3,600 feet from the Roaring Fork River and is located within the Roaring Fork Rivei'alluvial aquifer. !n addition, Parcel 1 is situated between the lower Carbondale Ditch lateraland the Union Ditch.
