Sessions and Barbara Ann Sessions Living Trust dated July 20, 2022 – Minor Subdivision – Lot 1 of the Bar VT Ranchettes Subdivision, 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, no noxious weeds 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.

STATE ENGINEER January 13, 2025 Lincoln County Commissioners 925 Sage Ave Suite 302 Kemmerer, WY 83101 planning@lincolncountywy.gov RE: Bar VT Ranchettes 2nd Filing 201 MS 25 Dear Commissioners: The State Engineer’s Office/Ground Water Division received application material related to the Grover Meadows Bar VT Ranchettes 2nd Filing 201 MS 25 from the Lincoln County Planning Office, requesting information and advice to the Water Quality Division. The proposed subdivision is to be located in SW ¼ SW ¼ Section 12, T31N, R119W, Lincoln County, Wyoming. The subdivision consists of 3 lots. The proposed water system is individual 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 records indicate that there may be some irrigated acres associated with the subdivision lands under the following permit: P2334.0D. These acres need to be addressed per Statute (see item 8 for a summary of our findings and the processes to address these acres). Additional Comments: 1. 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 groundwater 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. 2. 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. 3. With few exceptions, new wells must be constructed by a Wyoming licensed water well drilling contractor, and pumps must be installed by a Wyoming licensed pump installation contractor. 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.
