Document Description
Applicant proposes to construct an earth fill dam, creating a reservoir with a capacity of 49 acre-feet (AF), on an ephemeral tributary of South Cow Creek. Water from the reservoir would be used for stockwatering of up to 100 head of bison, irrigation of 30 acres of pastureland, fire protection, recreation, and future aquaculture. No protests to the applications were filed. An archaelogical survey of the reservoir and pasture area was negative for archeological artifacts. No listed plant or animal species, or critical habitat, were found in the project area. Four oak trees will be removed from the construction area.
