Lincoln County Weed &Pest:At the time of inspection,Black Henbane,Canada Thistle,Musk Thistle,
and Common Mullen 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.
Star Valley Conservation District:Due to a large variation of groundwater levels in this section,SVCD
recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels.If groundwater is high,we recommend an
enhanced septic system and no basements.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

Kemmerer, WY 83101 STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT Board of Supervisors has reviewed the proposed North Star Ranches, a major subdivision for Mark T. DeBoer near Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming.
Due to a large variation of groundwater levels in this section, SVCD recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system and no basements. 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.
This report satisfies the Conservation District Review as required by Wyoming State Statute 18-5-306. No other use is intended or implied. If there is any more information, we can provide for you, please let us know.
Yours truly,
STAR VALLEY CONSERVATION DISTRICT

Chairman
Subdivision Review North Star Ranches Major Subdivision
Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming July 19, 2023 Location
The North Star Ranches major subdivision is in the E1/2SW1/4 of section 6 T34N R118W, just
south of plat 18 of Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming. The proposed subdivision is +/- 78acres and will be divided into 15 lots. Water
Star Valley Conservation District (SVCD) personnel used the State Engineers Water Rights Data
Base to obtain groundwater information for this property. Well logs from wells in the vicinity indicated the static water level is between 60 and 217 feet below ground surface. According to Surveyor Scherbel’s Office, the owner’s agent, the 15 lots will each have
individual wells and septic systems. Please pay special attention to the Septic Tank Absorption Fields section of the attached soils report. Due to a large variation of groundwater levels in this section, SVCD recommends soil cuts to determine groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system
and no basements. 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.
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 2 soil types, identified as Greyback gravelly loam (Gg)
and Greyback and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE).
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.
Dwelling with and without basements: The degree of limitations for dwellings with and without basements in areas of Greyback gravelly loam (Gg) are Not Limited. Areas consisting of Greyback and Hobacker soils 0 to 30 percent slopes are rated as Very Limited due to slope.
Soil cuts were not conducted as part of this review. Care should be taken not to locate buildings
in the intermittent drainage or any drainage channel where overland flooding could occur during early spring snowmelt or heavy thunderstorms. Sewage Disposal: The degree of limitations for septic tank absorption fields for areas containing both the Greyback gravelly loam (Gg) and the Greyback and Hobacker soils 0 to 30 percent slopes
(GHE) are rated as Very Limited due to seepage and slope.
Paved Roads and streets: The degree of limitations for roads and streets for areas containing
Greyback gravelly loam (Gg) are rates as Somewhat Limited due to frost action. Areas containing Greyback and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE) are rated as Very Limited due to slope and frost action.
Unpaved Roads and Streets: The degree of limitations for unpaved roads and streets for areas
containing Greyback gravelly loam (Gg) are rated as Somewhat Limited due to frost action and dusty. Areas containing Greyback and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE) are rated as Very Limited due to frost action, dusty, and slope.
Shallow excavations: The degree of limitations for shallow excavations for areas containing
Greyback gravelly loam (Gg) are rated as Somewhat Limited due to unstable excavation walls and dusty. Areas containing Greyback and Hobacker soils, 0 to 30 percent slopes (GHE) are rated as Very Limited due to slope, unstable excavation walls, and dusty.
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
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).

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.

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.

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.

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

To Whom It May Concern,
An inspection of the proposed,Bank of Jackson Hole,as Custodian of the Mark T.
DeBoer Traditional IRA –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,Black Henbane,Canada Thistle,Musk Thistle,and Common Mullen
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.

RE:North Star Ranches Subdivision WDEQ 2023-296
Dear Commissioners:
The State Engineer’s Office Ground Water Division received application material related to the Vista
Hills Subdivision from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality,requesting information and
advice to the Water Quality Division.
The proposed subdivision is to be located in the NE¼SW1¼and SE¼SW1¼of Section 6 of T34N,
R118W,Lincoln County,Wyoming.The subdivision consists of 15 lots.The proposed water system is
individual on-lot wells.Based upon the review of both the subdivision application and a preliminary
search of the agency’s water rights database,the State Engineer’s Office offers the following:
Our office reviewed the referenced submittal in compliance with W.S.18-5-306.We find that in respect to
W.S.18-5-306(a)(xi)the subdivider needs to address the following items:
1.Our records indicate that there may be some irrigated acres associated with the subdivision lands
under Permit P982.0D.These acres need to be addressed per Statute (see item 6 for a summary of
our findings and the processes to address these acres).
Additional Comments:
2.An approved permit from the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office is required prior to the drilling of any
water well.The procurement of the necessary and appropriate State Engineer water right permit
allows the applicant to attempt to develop a water supply adequate to meet their proposed needs,and
is no guarantee that any water will be physically available.
3.If any new wells are proposed,they must be constructed in accordance with the State Engineer’s
Office Rules and Regulations,Part III,Water Well Minimum Construction Standards.
4.Any well not to be used must be properly plugged and abandoned as outlined in the above referenced
rules and regulations.
5.Any wells developed for uses that do NOT fall within the definition of domestic or stock use require
adjudication by the Board of Control.
Surface Water Ground Water Board of Control
(307)777-6475 (307)777-6163 (307)777-6178
6.The water right search revealed other existing water rights attached to the subdivision lands.Those
water rights must be addressed as outlined in Wyoming Statute 18-5-306(a)(xi).To date,the State
Engineer’s Office has not received any paperwork addressing the intended disposition of the water
rights.
Wyoming Statute 18-5-306(a)(xi):
(xi)With respect to any water rights appurtenant to lands to be subdivided in accordance with this chapter
and prior to final approval of the subdivision permit,the subdivider shall provide the following:
(A)The intended disposition of the water rights,by:
(I)Written documentation from the state engineer or the state board of control that the subdivider
submitted to the state engineer or the state board of control all documents necessary to
voluntarily abandon the water rights,cancel any unadjudicated permits or eliminate applicable
lands from any unadjudicated permits.The subdivider shall notify any purchasers of this
action;
(II)Written documentation from the state board of control that the subdivider has submitted to the
state board of control all documents necessary to change the use or place of use to provide for
beneficial use of the water rights outside the subdivision;
(III)A plan,accompanied by written documentation from the state engineer approving the plan,for
the distribution of the water rights appurtenant to the land to be subdivided.The plan shall
specify the distribution of the water to the lots within the subdivision and shall include written
documentation from the state board of control that the subdivider submitted to the state board
of control all documents necessary to change the use,place of use or point of diversion or
means of conveyance in accordance with W.S.41-3-103,41-3-104 or 41-3-114;or
(IV)Written documentation from the state board of control that it has accepted an authorization to
detach water rights appurtenant to the lands to be subdivided in accordance with rules and
regulations promulgated by the state board of control.
(B)If the subdivision is located within lands served by or crossed by a ditch,irrigation works or other
water conveyance system,evidence that the subdivider submitted the plan to the public entity,
company,association or appropriators responsible for the ditch,irrigation works or other water
conveyance system for review and recommendation at least sixty (60)days prior to the submittal of
the application for the subdivision permit to the board.Upon receipt of the plan,the public entity,
company,association or appropriators shall notify the subdivider if and how the subdivision will
create a significant additional burden or risk of liability;
(C)Evidence that the subdivider will specifically state on all offers and solicitations relative to the
subdivision the subdivider's intent to comply with this paragraph and that the subdivider does not
warrant to a purchaser that the purchaser shall have any rights to the natural flow of any stream
within or adjacent to the proposed subdivision.The subdivider shall further state that Wyoming law
does not recognize any riparian rights to the continued natural flow of a stream or river for persons
living on the banks of the stream or river;
(D)If the subdivision is located within the boundaries of an irrigation district that is subject to the
provisions of title 41,chapter 7 of the Wyoming statutes,the application shall include
recommendations from the irrigation district regarding any changes to the attached water rights and
the irrigation district's easements.If there is a conflict with the irrigation district's recommendations,
the subdivider shall certify that it met with and made a good faith effort to resolve any conflicts with
the irrigation district;and
(E)If the subdivision will create a significant additional burden or risk of liability to the public entity,
company,association or appropriators responsible for the ditch,irrigation works or other water
conveyance system,the subdivider shall provide an adequate and responsible plan to reduce or
eliminate the additional burden or risk of liability and evidence that the subdivider submitted the
plan to the public entity,company,association or appropriators for review and recommendation
regarding the adequacy of the plan.
In all correspondence regarding this application,please reference “State Engineer Subdivision Review
Number 2023-31-12”.
If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me at (307)777-2974,or if you prefer email,at
