• <br /> currently included in a CRP program. HuB Huntsville Silt Loam, 2 to 6 percent <br /> slopes. This comprises approximately 15 % of the site, running in a north to south <br /> direction, paralleling Argue Rd. this is currently under cultivation. EmF Elkmound <br /> Sandy Loam 30 to 60 percent slopes. This comprises approximately 10% of the site. <br /> Currently this is 100% wooded or brushy and will remain undisturbed. Additional <br /> planting of trees and management of existing trees and brush for appearance will <br /> enhance both the habitat and erosion mitigation qualities of the area. DuD2 <br /> Dunbarton Silt Loam 12 to 20 Percent Slopes Approximately 20 % of site. Portions <br /> of this soil type area show evidence of previous terracing for purposes of erosion <br /> mitigation during agricultural use. Areas with this soil type are currently 100% in Grass <br /> under CRP. DuC2 Dunbarton Silt Loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes, approximately 20% of <br /> site. Areas with this soil type are currently 100% in Grass under CRP. NeB2 New <br /> Glarus Silt Loam 2 to 6 % slopes, approximately 15% of the site. This soil type is at the <br /> highest elevations of the site and is currently in CRP grass, with the exception of an <br /> area of approximately one half acre which is wooded. <br /> The majority of this ground is unsuited for cropping for grain, due to erosion risk. <br /> However, the very conditions which make the ground unsuitable for crops make the <br /> area attractive for use as a golf course. Natural changes in elevation provide visual <br /> corridors for fairways, several of which are quite spectacular. In addition, walk around <br /> inspection of the site indicates that severely sloped areas of the site can be mitigated <br /> by careful placement of tee and green areas so that fairways utilize the most gradually <br /> sloped portions. Some use of severe slope for hazard areas is desirable from a <br /> course design perspective. Mitigation of run off erosion can be accomplished in all <br /> sections through use of tall grassed "waste" areas between actively used portions of <br /> the property and by careful placement of grassed bunker or berm hazards. Since we <br /> do not intend to irrigate the fairways, irrigation induced erosion should not be <br /> problematic. Current experience of being able to maintain an adequate grass cover in <br /> all areas under consideration for fairway use suggests no major difficulty in <br /> maintaining adequate fairway turf. This is particularly true when drought tolerant <br /> grasses are used. <br /> No additional public roadway or access from any public roadway will be <br /> required or requested in Dane Co. <br /> Because the ground in Dane Co. is currently in CRP, no work can be <br /> undertaken within Dane Co. until October 1998. Green county work is currently <br /> underway. <br /> The following work will be undertaken: <br /> 1. Nine golf holes will initially be constructed during 1998 and 1999, with provision for <br /> 18 holes total to be completed as volume of play permits and warrants. The bulk of <br /> initial construction will be in Green Co. (Seven of the additional nine holes are <br /> planned for the Dane County portion of the course. Development of these holes could <br />
