RE: Dust Blowing Complaint for Property Located in the East Half
of Section 13, Township 9 North, Range 57 West of the 6th P.M. ,
Weld County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Barker:
As per your telephone conversation December 26, 1990 with Lynn Healey,
the Soil Conservation Service staff at Sterling, Colorado made an onsite
observation of the dust blowing situation on the above described land.
The area in question was left in a pulverized condition with no residue
to protect the soil surface from blowing when it was seeded to winter
wheat. This area has blown severely starting deposition in the fence
row and borrow ditch along State Highway 71.
The Soil Conservation Service staff has recommended chiseling, diagonally
(southwest to northeast) with spacing to be 24-30 inches and about 6 inches
deep. This should bring up adequate clods to form a protective ridge
to slow erosion by wind. Should this fail to give the protection needed,
then an application of feedlot manure, 40 ton per acre, with 607 by
weight in chunks 5 inches or larger should be applied to the area blowing.
Our board of supervisors concur with these recommendations.
Sincerely, Q� ny 2

RE: Dust Blowing Complaint on Property in the East Half of Section
13 , Township 9 North, Range 57 West of the 6th P.M. , Weld
County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Purdue:
This letter is a follow-up to our telephone conversation of Monday,
February 4 , 1991, regarding a dust blowing complaint against Paul
_ Hriizdil for property located in the E_ast__Half of Section 13 ,
Township 9 North, Range 57 West of the 6th P.M. , Weld County,
Colorado.
Paul Hnizdil called me on the morning of February 4 , 1991. He
remains convinced that the thistles blowing from property located
in the North Half of Section 12 , Township 9 North, Range 57 West
has caused the dust blowing in the East Half of Section 13 . Mr.
Hnizdil spoke with Bruce Lindel of the West Greeley Soil
Conservation Service. Mr. Lindel agrees with Mr. Hnizdil that
blowing thistles can cause dust blowing to occur. I am uncertain
as to whether Mr. Lindel has viewed the affected parcel.
Mr. Hnizdil requested that I contact you to ask if the FHA would
chop the thistles on the North Half of Section 12 . A neighbor of
Mr. Hnizdil ' s, Dale Green, apparently has the machinery which can
perform this type of work. Mr. Hnizdil asked me to suggest to you
that Mr. Green should be contacted.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you should
have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to call
me at 356-4000, extension 4391.

Dear Mr. Barker:
John Lestina, of our local SCS, and I inspected the field in
question, February 5, 1991. We found that the field had been
chiseled at the recommended width and direction. It appeared
that the work had just been finished in the last day or two.
This work appears to be adequate to control the dust blowing
for the present time.
