The property is located west of and adjacent to Weld County Road 65 and South of and adjacent to Weld County Road 78. The property has been severely over grazed. Our recommendation at this point is to remove the animals from the property or confine them to a smaller area where they can be fed without destroying the pasture any further. After removing the animals from the pasture we recommend soil roughening then a waiting period to see if grasses can recover after this recent moisture. If after roughening,the soil is still blowing at an unacceptable rate some type of mulch may be needed, possibly a heavy manure application. This property is in such bad shape a wooden lath snow fence may also be needed to contain the soil on this property. There is also considerable damage to neighboring properties. There are fences covered and pastures blown under caused by this blowing property. It is important to note that after cover is re-established on this land, there should never be such a high density of animals on it in the future. The land in this area is too fragile to support that many animals even in years with above normal precipitation.

From: Lynne Lyons [mailto:Lynne.Lyons@cu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:08 PM To: Bruce Barker Cc: nick.hoban@co.udsa.gov; Lynne Lyons Subject: photos Mr. Baker: Per our conversation yesterday, here are some photos of my property to give you a visual idea of the damage. The one titled Galeton is how our property looked when we moved in one year ago, last April. The one titled lawn shows that our once grassy lawn is now under several inches of loose sand. The ones titled north fence are all of the fence dividing my property from Mr. Ramirez's property. I am very grateful to you and to Mr. Hoban for all your efforts to bring this situation to a resolution. When the wind blows, which is often!, the blowing sand, dust and dirt is so bad that we cannot open our windows, cannot go outside, cannot put our dogs in their outdoor kennels, and I am worried about the potential adverse effects on the health of my livestock. Both my husband and I are now constantly suffering from sinus headaches. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Please keep me informed regarding the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. We would like to attend if possible.
