Once the plebiscite had passed, the following bylaws were approved: • 2021 Expansion Limit Change Bylaw • Irrigation Acres Bylaw • Capital Assets Charges Bylaw For 2021 only, to accommodate increased demand and applications in queue, it was agreed to accept applications in April for irrigation acres that can be developed in 2021 by September 30th. Following is a summary of the outcomes: APPROVED IRRIGATION APPLICATIONS – FOR PROJECTS TO BE COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 Total Approved Denied Approved Applications Applications Applications Acres Infill 27 24 3 947 (12,000 acres of the 34,000 acre expansion are reserved for Infill) New Parcels – below Newell & Crawling Valley Reservoirs 10 8 2 1,251* (60% of the 2,000 acres/year max or 1,200 acres) New Parcels – not below Newell & Crawling Valley Reservoirs 36 12 24 846* (40% of the 2,000 acres/year max or 800 acres) * Clause 10.0 of the Irrigation Acres Bylaw: The Board reserves the right, by its motion, to vary, alter or waive any criteria, guidelines and rules established by this bylaw when, in the opinion of the Board, a variance or waiver of such criteria, guideline or rule is considered to be in the best interest of the District. Additional acres were approved to enable projects to be fully developed. Once projects are completed and finalized, the approved number of acres will be verified. Any carry forward acres from projects that are not completed will be applied to the next irrigation season’s maximum allotment. Applications for projects requiring 50 or less irrigation acres to be added to existing irrigation parcels will be received throughout the year. The process for applying for irrigation acres over 50 acres or for projects on dry parcels now reverts to the annual review in fall. NEED SOILS? All proposed projects need to be reviewed according to the parcel’s historical soils information and various other criteria. If you have been advised that soils testing is required on your parcel, or have any questions, please call Staci Connauton at 403- 362-1400.
