AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE:
Lincoln County Weed & Pest: At the time of inspection, Spotted Knapweed, Musk Thistle, and Canada Thistle are on the property. For all of these species I recommend using Milestone herbicide at 7 oz/acre and Escort at 1oz/acre. The
optimal treatment time would be in mid to late June for Musk Thistle. The optimal treatment time would
be around the end of August for Spotted Knapweed and Canada Thistle. If any noxious weeds become
present, please take steps to eradicate them. Star Valley Conservation District:
Due to a large variation between water levels in this section, SVCD recommends soil cuts to determine
groundwater levels. If ground water is high, we recommend an enhanced septic system. We also 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.
Wyoming Department of Transportation: WYDOT has a pending access permit with the applicant for improvement at the Clearview Drive
approach to US 89. It is recommended that approval be conditioned that the US 89 access
improvements be finalized at the completion of Phase 1 construction, prior to any of the applicant’s
proposed future development. Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality:
Wyoming Underground Injection Permit
Permit No. UIC-2024-0090 v1.0 Class V (5E3) Domestic Subsurface Fluid Distribution System Etna Village Post Leachfield Facility ID No. WYS-023-00211
(Part of 510 ZD 25)
Wyoming Fire Marshal: Our Agency does not review IRC compliant Townhomes. If a multi family dwelling does
not meet the definitions of townhome in the IRC, then the IBC is the applicable code
and we would review accordingly as it would be an R2 Apartment building.
