AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE:
Kemmerer City Administrator Brian Muir: We have no comments other than what we discussed the last
time this was subdivided regarding making sure there is safe treatment of waste water, given its proximity
to the river and it being in flood plain. Seems like the ideal situation is for them to get not just water from
the JBP, but waste water services.
Lincoln County Weed & Pest Control District: At the time of the inspection there was Musk Thistle present
on the property. My recommendation is to implement a weed management plan on the property.
Lincoln Conservation District: The suitabilities and limitations for dwellings with and without basements
for both soil map units are very limited due to flooding, depth to saturated zone, and the shrink-swell
potential of the individual soil complexes.
The suitabilities and limitations for septic tank absorption fields for both soil map units are very
limited due to depth to saturated zone, flooding, slow water movement and seepage bottom
layer.
Septic systems will need to be designed so ground water is not contaminated. Care needs to be
taken to locate septic systems away from domestic well locations.
It is important to note the majority of lot 1 and the north end of lot 2 are in a flood plain
according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. See the attached flood
plain map showing flood plain areas in blue and black diagonal lines. Past flood control dikes
exist in several areas in the proposed subdivision. These dikes will need to be maintained to
control flood waters from reaching any existing or proposed dwellings.
Domestic wells for each lot will need to be properly sealed and elevated so surface water and
pollutants do not enter into the ground water if Kemmerer City water is not available.

Hello Brian,
Attached please find a plat for a proposed simple subdivision that is just north of the City of Kemmerer (west
of Hwy 233). Would you please let us know if you have any comments for the Board of County
Commissioners regarding the subdivision before January 26? I can send the Lincoln Conservation District
report if you would be interested.
Thank you,

Attached are the soils report and the following natural resource conserv tion recommendations
that the Lincoln Conservation District (LCD) Board Members and DeMon B. Grandy, LCD Natural
Resource Specialist, have given for the New Frontier Subdivision you req ested. There are two
map unit complexes in the proposed subdivision, mapping unit number 213, (Dillion-Moynier
Complex) on Oto 3 percent slopes and mapping unit number 2016, (Tod can-Saria Complex on
0 to 2 percent slopes.
The suitabilities and limitations for dwellings with basements for btth s ii map units are very
limited due to flooding, depth to saturated zone, and the shrink-swell p ential of the individual
soil complexes.
The suitabilities and limitations for dwellings without basements for bot soil map units are very
limited due to flooding, depth to saturated zone, and the shrink-swell p ential of the individual
soil complexes.
The suitabilities and limitations for lawns, landscaping, and golf fairways for soil map unit
number 1213 are somewhat limited due to dusty, low exchange capacit and depth to
saturated zone. Soil map unit number 1216 is very limited due to depth o saturated zone and
dusty.
The suitabilities and limitations for shallow excavation for both soil map nits are very limited
due to depth to saturated zone, dusty, unstable excavation wall, and too clayey.
The suitabilities and limitations for unpaved local roads and streets for s ii map unit number
1213 are somewhat limited due to frost action, flooding, dusty, low stre gth, and depth to
saturated zone. Soil map unit number 1216 is very limited due to depth o saturated zone, frost
action, flooding, dusty, and low strength.

The suitabilities and limitations for local roads and streets for soil map unit number 1213 are
somewhat limited due to frost action, flooding, low strength, and depth to saturated zone. Soil
map unit number 1216 is very limited due to depth to saturated zone, frost action, flooding, low
strength, and shrink-swell.
The suitabilities and limitations for septic tank absorption fields for both soil map units are very
limited due to depth to saturated zone, flooding, slow water movement and seepage bottom
layer.
The above suitabilities and limitations ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms
indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features and specified use.
Note, in the attached Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Custom Soil Resources
Report the interpretation of each specified limitation. Some Limitations generally cannot be
overcome without major soil reclamation, special designs, or expensive installation procedures.
Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected for soil uses without mitigating
measures for some very limited ratings.

It is important to note the majority of lot 1 and the north end of lot 2 are in a flood plain
according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. See the attached flood
plain map showing 1ood plain areas in blue and back diagonal lines. Past fl1od control dikes
exist in several areas in the proposed subdivision. These dikes will need to be maintained to
control flood waters from reaching any existing or proposed dwellings.
The proposed subdivision is in an area where possible septic cesspools leach fields and below
ground basement foundations may exist due to abandoned dwellings where the past Town of
Frontier existed. Care will need to be taken to locate any abandoned structures if present and
addressing the concerns before building on the lots.
Septic systems will need to be designed so ground water is not contaminated. Care needs to be
taken to locate septic systems away from domestic well locations.
Domestic wells for each lot will need to be properly sealed and elevated so surface water and
pollutants do not enter into the ground water if Kemmerer City water is not available.
It will be important to check each lot for ephemeral and intermittent drainage channels. Care
will need to be taken not to block drainage channels with proposed structures, access roads, or
building pads.

The LCD board members would like to point out that the proposed subdivision borders
agriculture operations and wildlife habitat. Some nuisances may occur due to livestock or
wildlife issues. It will be important for subdivision lot owners to fence out their ground if they
desire to keep livestock or wildlife from entering onto their lots.
Due to closeness of the subdivision to public buildings, LCD board members recommend that
covenants be developed for the subdivision that would curb the accumulation of abandoned
vehicles or equipment on the lots.
The proposed subdivision is located where periodic heavy mountain snowfall could occur. Local
engineering structure designs will need to be considered when constructing building roofs etc.
Roadways will need to be designed so snowpack can be removed periodically with heavy
equipment.
Weed control for lots within the proposed subdivision is critical. See the attached Lincoln
County Weed and Pest District letter concerning noxious weed infestation within the proposed
subdivision and ways to co;,trol the problem. I
All disturbed areas within the lots should be reseeded to avoid weed infestation problems.
Contact the Lincoln County Ef tension Service or the LCD Field Office for assistance with seeding
recommendations.
The LCD board members recommend you take time to study the NRCS soils report. Contact the
LCD office is you need further information.

Dear Demont Grandy,
I have received the proposal for the Bronson Bennett-Simple Subdivision -within Nl/2
NWl/4 of Section 12, T21N Rl 16W, Lincoln County, Wyoming. At the time of
inspection there was Musk Thistle present on the property. My recommendation is to
implement a weed management plan on the property. For this specie is doing a mid to
late June treatment with herbicide is optimal. I suggest using a Broadleaf control
herbicide like Weed Master, 24d or Milestone to treat these weeds. Lincoln County
Weed & Pest furnishes herbicides for noxious weed control at a 40% cost share discount
to the landowner. We also offer ATV sprayers and 25-gallon pickup sprayers for rent.
Please know that all of my visits to the above property as well as any consultations are at
no charge, so feel free to call me or stop by the office any time if you have any questions.
Sincerely, I Irr--
Jason Trauntvein-Assistant Supervisor
