individual wells and septic systems. SVCD recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system. We recommend that soil cuts be taken in the
spring/early summer when groundwater is highest. If soil cuts are done at other times know
that static water level can fluctuate according to the amount of high-water runoff from year to year. Please note that the property has an irrigation water right from Strawberry Creek through Pine Hill Sprinkler Pipeline. The irrigation company must have maintenance access to the pipeline.
Landscaping such as trees, shrubbery, etc., within one rod (16.5 feet) of either side of the pipeline
is prohibited and is subject to removal by the canal company. For information regarding this please contact our office at 307-885-7823. Salt River
The Salt River is listed on Table C (Water Bodies with Water Quality Threats) of the Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) 2020 Section 303(d) List. The Salt River does not support the designated use for contact recreation use due to elevated levels of fecal coliform bacteria.
In response to this listing, the Star Valley Conservation District (SVCD) initiated watershed-
planning activities for the Salt River Watershed in 2003. The Salt River Watershed Plan has been
completed, was formally submitted to WDEQ and was accepted and signed by WDEQ in July 2005. SVCD completed a TMDL for the Salt River in 2016 which was submitted to WDEQ.
SVCD continues to monitor the watershed. We have collaborated with landowners to implement fencing and off stream watering for livestock. We also provide a cost share to homeowners to
pump septic systems after attending our septic workshops.
The Salt River Watershed Plan identifies rural subdivisions as adversely affecting water quality in the Salt River Watershed. Storm water run-off from subdivisions should be managed using best
management practices to ensure that pollutants such as storm water runoff, animal wastes,
sediment, and fertilizers do not reach the irrigation ditches or other surface waters in the area. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WYDEQ) requires all construction sites
that disturb 1 acre or more to have a construction NPDES permit. The areas do not have to be
contiguous. The permit requires construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and sediment control best management practices, control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck wash-out, chemicals, litter, and sanitary wastes.
Operators of construction activities must develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) that describes the measures to be implemented at the construction site that will eliminate or minimize pollutants from the project from reaching surface waters. The terms and conditions of the permit must be implemented until the land disturbed by
construction activities has been ‘finally stabilized.’ Finally stabilized is defined as “all soil
disturbing activities at the site have been completed, and a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of 70% of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been established on all disturbed unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures”.
If construction will disturb 5 or more acres a stormwater permit from WYDEQ is required.
For more information regarding the NPDES requirements please contact Katy Sprouse by phone or email at 307-777-7570 (katysprouse@wyo.gove)Anita Rehner, WYDEQ Program Coordinator at 307-777-5622 or (arehner@state.wy.us).
Soils The following soils information provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Star Valley Area, Wyoming – Idaho. This information does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis of these soils by a
Wyoming Licensed Engineer experienced in the design and construction of engineering work.
The proposed subdivision is comprised of 8 soil types, identified as Greyback and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE), Greyback-Rooset association, steep (GRE), Hobacker gravelly loam (Hc), Hobacker cobbly loam (Hd), Lail-Cowdrey association (LC), Osmund and Mundos loams 0 to 3
percent slopes (OmA), Robana-Turnerville association, steep (RTE), and Turson silt loam , 0 to 3
percent slopes, frequently flooded (Tu). Limitations: ‘not limited’ indicates that the soil has features that are favorable for the specified use, good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. ‘Somewhat limited’
indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The
limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, and installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. Soils with ‘very limited’ designations indicate that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures, poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.

rated as Very Limited due to seepage. Areas consisting of Hobacker cobbly loam (Hd) are rated as Very Limited due to filtering capacity and seepage. Areas consisting of Lail-Cowdrey association (LC) are rated as Very Limited due to slow water movement and slope. Areas consisting of Osmund and Mundos loams 0 to 3 percent slopes (OmA) are rated as Very Limited due to slow water movement. Areas of Robana-Turnerville association, steep (RTE),are rated as Very Limited due to
slow water movement and slope. Areas consisting of Turson silt loam , 0 to 3 percent slopes, frequently flooded (Tu) are rated as Very Limited due to flooding, seepage, depth to saturated zone and slow water movement. Roads and streets : The degree of limitations for roads and streets for areas containing Greyback
and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE) are rated as Very Limited due to slope and frost action. Areas consisting of Greyback-Rooset association, steep (GRE) are rated as Very Limited due to slope, frost action, shrink-swell, low strength, and soluble bedrock. Areas consisting of Hobacker gravelly loam (Hc) and Hobacker cobbly loam (Hd) are rated as Somewhat Limited due to frost action. Areas consisting of Lail-Cowdrey association (LC) and Robana-Turnerville association, steep (RTE)
are rated as Very Limited due to slope, frost action, low strength, and shrink-swell. Areas consisting of Osmund and Mundos loams 0 to 3 percent slopes (OmA) are rated as Very Limited due to frost action. Areas of Turson silt loam , 0 to 3 percent slopes, frequently flooded (Tu) are rated as Very Limited due to flooding, frost action, and low strength. Shallow excavations: The degree of limitations for shallow excavations for areas containing Greyback and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE) and Greyback-Rooset association, steep (GRE), are rated as Very Limited due to slope, unstable excavation walls, and dusty. Areas of Hobacker gravelly loam (Hc) and Hobacker cobbly loam (Hd) are rated as Somewhat Limited due to unstable excavation walls. Areas consisting of Lail-Cowdrey association (LC) are rated as Very

Areas containing Hobacker gravelly loam (Hc) and Hobacker cobbly loam (Hd) are rated as Somewhat Limited due to frost action. Areas containing Lail-Cowdrey association (LC) are rated as Very Limited due to slope, shrink-swell, frost action, low strength, and dusty. Areas consisting of Osmund and Mundos loams 0 to 3 percent slopes (OmA) are rated as Very Limited due to frost action and dusty.
Areas consisting of Robana-Turnerville association, steep (RTE) are rated as Very Limited due to slope, frost action, low strength, shrink-swell, and dusty. Areas containing Turson silt loam , 0 to 3
percent slopes, frequently flooded (Tu) are rated as Very Limited due to flooding, frost action, dusty,
and low strength. To avoid potential erosion or sedimentation problems all disturbed areas during subdivision construction, especially road banks, need to be mulched and seeded back to adapted
grass/legumes and tress/shrubs as soon as possible. Topsoil should be stockpiled and saved
during construction, so adequate seedbeds can be prepared in the disturbed areas. Appropriate erosion and sediment control best management practices should be installed and maintained for the duration of the project.
Noxious Weeds
Lincoln County Weed and Pest report is included in a separate report. Please note and follow the recommendations therein. Lincoln County Weed & Pest furnishes herbicides for noxious weed control at a discount to
landowners. Check with Weed and Pest to see if you qualify. They also offer ATV sprayers and
25-gallon pickup sprayers for rent. All visits to the property as well as any consultations are at no charge. To contact Lincoln County Weed and Pest call 307-885-9333 (WEED). Small Acreage Grazing/Livestock Management Please be aware, grazing animals on small acreages can have a significant impact on the condition of soil, water, plants, and other natural resources.
Care should be taken to ensure agricultural activities such as grazing, corrals, pastures, feedlots,
animal waste storage or spreading does not take place within any wellhead protection zone. Best management practices should be implemented on these parcels to ensure animal wastes does not reach spring or Salt River during times of high water, snow melt, or storm run-off. This
can be done by using berms, filters strips, grassed swales and catch ponds. The SVCD
recommends the individual lot owners obtain a site-specific grazing and waste management conservation plan from the local Natural Resources Conservation Service office in Afton. The plans are provided free of charge. For mor information, please contact Adam Clark, 307-886-9001 ext.109,
adam.p.clark@usda.gov. Wildfire and Landscaping: Wildfire is possible in this area. Well planned landscaping can reduce wildfire danger. The home should have a defensible space. SVCD recommends
following the guidelines in the University of Wyoming Barnyards and Backyards Living with Wildfire in Wyoming publication. http://www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard/_files/documents/resources/wildfire2013/wildfire_web.pdf
Wildlife Friendly Fencing Fences cause the direct mortality of wildlife through entanglement and prohibition of movement to seasonal ranges. Fences constructed or currently in existence on the property should be designed to allow free and unrestricted movement of wildlife. Wyoming Game and Fish Department recommends fences be built to minimally restrict livestock and horses, while
allowing free movement of wildlife (e.g. a smooth bottom wire 16-18 inches above ground, a 39-
inch maximum height and at least 12 inches between the top two wires). Wildlife can benefit from any area of open space. For more information please see Fencing Guidelines for Wildlife
Wyoming Game & Fish Habitat Extension Bulletin No. 53 at the Wyoming Game and Fish
website http://gf.state.wy.us/downloads/pdf/habitat/Bulletin%20No.%2053.pdf.
Homeowners should protect ornamental shrubs used for landscaping and future homeowners should know that, by state statute, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is not liable for
damage caused to ornamental plants by wildlife.
The potential exists for wildlife conflicts, especially between wildlife and free-ranging domestic pets. The landowner should take precautions to minimize harassment of wildlife by dogs and cats. It is illegal to allow pets to chase or kill wildlife. Likewise, rural landowners should
recognize that black bears, mountain lions, and other carnivores may come near their dwellings
and may pose a threat to pets allowed to range freely. Sensitive Species and Historical Resources Sensitive, threatened, or endangered species were not evaluated as part of this review.

Description
ENG - Engineering
Dwellings are single-family houses of three stories or less. For dwellings with
basements, the foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of reinforced
concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of about 7 feet.
The ratings for dwellings are based on the soil properties that affect the capacity
of the soil to support a load without movement and on the properties that affect
excavation and construction costs. The properties that affect the load-supporting
capacity include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear
extensibility (shrink-swell potential), and compressibility. Compressibility is
inferred from the Unified classification of the soil. The properties that affect the
ease and amount of excavation include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding,
slope, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented
pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent
to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified
use. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for
the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be
expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has
one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations
generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can
be expected.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are
shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the
use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying
Summary by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil
Data Viewer are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated
rating class is shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit
are only those that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The
percent composition of each component in a particular map unit is presented to
help the user better understand the percentage of each map unit that has the
rating presented.
Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The
ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating, can be
viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil
Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to
validate these interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given
site.

Description
ENG - Engineering
Dwellings are single-family houses of three stories or less. For dwellings without
basements, the foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of reinforced
concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at the depth of maximum
frost penetration, whichever is deeper.
The ratings for dwellings are based on the soil properties that affect the capacity
of the soil to support a load without movement and on the properties that affect
excavation and construction costs. The properties that affect the load-supporting
capacity include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear
extensibility (shrink-swell potential), and compressibility. Compressibility is
inferred from the Unified classification of the soil. The properties that affect the
ease and amount of excavation include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding,
slope, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented
pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent
to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified
use. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for
the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be
expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has
one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations
generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can
be expected.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are
shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the
use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying
Summary by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil
Data Viewer are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated
rating class is shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit
are only those that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The
percent composition of each component in a particular map unit is presented to
help the user better understand the percentage of each map unit that has the
rating presented.
Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The
ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating, can be
viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil
Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to

Description
ENG - Engineering
Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is
distributed into the soil through subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that part
of the soil between depths of 24 and 60 inches is evaluated. The ratings are
based on the soil properties that affect absorption of the effluent, construction
and maintenance of the system, and public health. Saturated hydraulic
conductivity (Ksat), depth to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock or a
cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Stones and
boulders, ice, and bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with installation.
Subsidence interferes with installation and maintenance. Excessive slope may
cause lateral seepage and surfacing of the effluent in downslope areas.
Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel or fractured bedrock at a
depth of less than 4 feet below the distribution lines. In these soils the absorption
field may not adequately filter the effluent, particularly when the system is new.
As a result, the ground water may become contaminated.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent
to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified
use. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for
the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be
expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has
one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can
be expected.

Description
ENG - Engineering
Local roads and streets have an all-weather surface and carry automobile and
light truck traffic all year. They have a subgrade of cut or fill soil material; a base
of gravel, crushed rock, or soil material stabilized by lime or cement; and a
surface of flexible material (asphalt), rigid material (concrete), or gravel with a
binder. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the ease of
excavation and grading and the traffic-supporting capacity. The properties that
affect the ease of excavation and grading are depth to bedrock or a cemented
pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to a water table, ponding,
flooding, the amount of large stones, and slope. The properties that affect the
traffic-supporting capacity are soil strength (as inferred from the AASHTO group
index number), subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink-swell potential), the
potential for frost action, depth to a water table, and ponding.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent
to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified

Unpaved local roads and streets are those roads and streets that carry traffic
year round but have a graded surface of local soil material or aggregate.
Description:
Unpaved local roads and streets are those roads and streets that carry traffic
year round but have a graded surface of local soil material or aggregate.
The roads and streets consist of
(1) the underlying local soil material, either cut or fill, which is called "the sub-
grade";
(2) the surface, which may be the same as the subgrade or may have aggrate
such as crushed limestone added.
They are graded to shed water, and conventional drainage measures are
provided. These roads and streets are built mainly from the soil at the site. Soil
interpretations for local roads and streets are used as a tool in evaluating soil
suitability and identifying soil limitations for the practice. The rating is for soils in
their present condition and does not consider present land use. Soil properties
and qualities that affect local roads and streets are those that influence the ease
of excavation and grading and the traffic-supporting capacity. The properties and
qualities that affect the ease of excavation and grading are hardness of bedrock
or a cemented pan, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to a water table,
flooding, the amount of large stones, and slope. The properties that affect traffic-
supporting capacity are soil strength as inferred from the AASHTO group index
and the Unified classification, subsidence, shrink-swell behavior, potential frost
action, and depth to the seasonal high water table. The dust generating tendacy
of the soil is also considered.

Description
ENG - Engineering
Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet
for graves, utility lines, open ditches, or other purposes. The ratings are based on
the soil properties that influence the ease of digging and the resistance to
sloughing. Depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a
cemented pan, the amount of large stones, and dense layers influence the ease
of digging, filling, and compacting. Depth to the seasonal high water table,
flooding, and ponding may restrict the period when excavations can be made.
Slope influences the ease of using machinery. Soil texture, depth to the water
table, and linear extensibility (shrink-swell potential) influence the resistance to
sloughing.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent
to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified
use. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for
the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be
expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has
one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations
generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can
be expected.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are
shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the
use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying
Summary by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil
Data Viewer are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated
rating class is shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit
are only those that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The
percent composition of each component in a particular map unit is presented to
help the user better understand the percentage of each map unit that has the
rating presented.
Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The
ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating, can be
viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil
Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to
validate these interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given
site.

Description
ENG - Engineering
Small commercial buildings are structures that are less than three stories high
and do not have basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of spread
footings of reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at
the depth of maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. The ratings are
based on the soil properties that affect the capacity of the soil to support a load
without movement and on the properties that affect excavation and construction
costs. The properties that affect the load-supporting capacity include depth to a
water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink-swell
potential), and compressibility (which is inferred from the Unified classification of
the soil). The properties that affect the ease and amount of excavation include
flooding, depth to a water table, ponding, slope, depth to bedrock or a cemented
pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock
fragments.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent
to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified
use. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for
the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be
expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has
one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations
generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can
be expected.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are
shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the
use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying

To Whom It May Concern,
An inspection of the proposed,Josh and Rylee Burmester –Major Subdivision –within
the E1/2SW1/4 of Section 6,T34N R118W,Thayne,Lincoln County,Wyoming.The purpose
of this inspection was to see if there are any of the noxious weeds as to W.S.11-5-102
(a)(xi).At the time of inspection,Dyers Woad,Common Mullen and Musk Thistle
were present.These weeds are on the Wyoming State Noxious Weed list as well as the
Lincoln County Noxious Weed List.These plants have proven to be very invasive and
pernicious.According to Wyoming Statute it is illegal to allow any state or county
noxious weed to propagate freely.The subdivision representative will need to contact
Lincoln County Weed and Pest and explain their weed control strategy or work with us
to devise one.
Lincoln County Weed and Pest furnishes herbicides for noxious weed control at a
reduced cost share discount to the landowner.We also offer ATV sprayers and
25-gallon pickup sprayers for rent.
Please know that all visits to the above property as well as any consultations are at no
charge,so feel free to call or stop by the office any time if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Bryan Nichols Travis Osmond
