This is a diversified, medium scale vegetable farm that was historically a dairy farm. The farm has a need for irrigation to supply sufficient water to the farming operations. NRCS has planned and designed an irrigation system that would consist of approximately 2,500 feet of 4 diameter HDPE irrigation pipeline installed at a depth of 4 feet from the ground surface and associated riser hydrants. A 6 diameter bedrock well is planned to be installed up to a depth of 700 feet. Because this project is located on or near archeologically sensitive landforms and archeological sites, an intensive ground survey including soil test pits along the length of the proposed pipeline is required. 2.
