1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,520
Really? I think you're the senior. Okay, call on the meeting to order. Do we, do we have

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:13,620
start with a motion to, no, I can't remember. And Todd isn't here today? No. So I think you

3
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:21,560
start with the minute review. Okay. So, do we have somebody, has everybody reviews the minutes?

4
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:31,410
Okay, any corrections? Well, great. Okay, so do we have a motion? Make a motion to accept

5
00:00:46,910 --> 00:00:53,610
The next on the list is Kenny right do it so I don't have a lot to share

6
00:00:53,610 --> 00:01:00,190
So they see the news about the big revotionization that got announced here recently, where we're

7
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:04,310
going to do it any once ago, and it kind of got put on hold for a little bit, but they're

8
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:06,550
moving forward with it nationally.

9
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:11,970
They're in consultation with Congress right now, and so we may see some dominoes finally

10
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:19,170
start to fall in terms of things getting moved around nationally, and you've heard about

11
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:32,290
So the big USDA building in Washington, DC, the old ones, giant, they're selling it, they're

12
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:32,870
getting rid of it.

13
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:39,850
They created, I think, five regional hubs, people out of Washington, DC, into these regional

14
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:40,210
hubs.

15
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:42,690
So spread them out a little further across the country?

16
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:45,490
I don't know if you're going to benefit this stand.

17
00:01:48,110 --> 00:01:48,770
Yes, I know.

18
00:01:50,050 --> 00:01:50,410
Okay.

19
00:01:51,070 --> 00:01:51,450
It depends.

20
00:01:51,870 --> 00:01:53,250
I think it just depends.

21
00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:55,130
They're thinking they're going to save a lot of money

22
00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:56,450
and then they're moving the cell aid

23
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:58,330
where it's still really expensive.

24
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:01,890
So I don't know.

25
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:02,230
I don't know.

26
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:02,450
We'll see.

27
00:02:02,530 --> 00:02:04,910
The idea is that you get some government workers closer

28
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:06,030
to where the work's being done,

29
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:07,470
and then they benefit some things.

30
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:08,210
And it could.

31
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:09,750
I just don't know.

32
00:02:09,890 --> 00:02:10,690
But that'll affect us.

33
00:02:10,690 --> 00:02:14,750
This is an RCS, a simple national structure will change,

34
00:02:15,570 --> 00:02:17,790
and we'll be fighting for our current state conservationist,

35
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:20,510
but they call it regional conservationist,

36
00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:22,210
up there right now when it's active.

37
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:24,950
And that position is being dissolved,

38
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:32,750
and it's being put under one of the undersecretaries for NRCS.

39
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:35,450
And so that position is going to get moved,

40
00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:37,030
and that will probably impact her

41
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:39,430
and what eventually happens to our state come

42
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:43,350
because we haven't had one for, she's been in that detail for a very long time, so we've had

43
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:48,350
acting and other acting and other acting. So hopefully those dominoes will

44
00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:55,210
certainly fall and we'll get some permanent people in positions because we've suffered a little bit. I think

45
00:02:55,210 --> 00:03:02,390
over the last year and a half about clear, good direction at the state. So expect some news on that. They have to have a

46
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:07,590
30-day consultation period with Congress and that's now I think we're almost three weeks into that.

47
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:15,650
so then they'll roll one on this little help thing and we'll see where that goes. It may affect us as a state, initially.

48
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:22,110
They wanted to move people around. We've been internally in between field offices and they're targeting my clothes and a couple of them.

49
00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:26,870
And it kind of happens in impact on us potentially locally.

50
00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:29,770
So where's the decision-making coming from?

51
00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:50,770
Right at the top. I mean, there's more of a truck mystery to push team in. You know, they had the RP and Doge and, you know, there's big lawsuits and things, but the way in those are kind of starting to find the resolve and some decisions are able to move forward and the USDA realizations is one of those that.

52
00:03:51,370 --> 00:03:53,670
Okay, so it came from outside the USDA.

53
00:03:54,550 --> 00:04:00,570
Yeah, it came with a lot of USB, so funding cutting tried to cut

54
00:04:00,570 --> 00:04:04,930
progress, cut costs more or less. Cut costs. Yeah, there was talk they're

55
00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:08,490
going to reduce, you know, initially we kind of heard some other rumors that

56
00:04:10,990 --> 00:04:13,850
we're spread around, but initially they were going to cut our numbers, you know,

57
00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:23,650
pretty significantly, and so we were a little bit worried about that, but with the

58
00:04:23,650 --> 00:04:26,510
11 to 12,000 nationally and we're down to about 8,000.

59
00:04:27,530 --> 00:04:31,070
So I don't know that we'll see a lot of cuts necessarily

60
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:33,150
to our staff, even in Utah.

61
00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:37,350
We were cut probably about 30% with everything that's

62
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:41,090
happened since the Crown for Administration came in.

63
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:43,990
So I don't imagine that we're going to lose Utah employees

64
00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:45,770
as part of this, which is a good thing.

65
00:04:46,090 --> 00:04:47,930
Another big change that came about,

66
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:51,450
so in the past, NRCS was pretty fortunate

67
00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:57,190
Because our state conservationists were a type of employee that were permanent, so even

68
00:04:57,190 --> 00:05:03,730
though a new administration would come in, they could keep those people higher as permanent

69
00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:08,050
employees and actually the chief of emergency aspect of Washington, it used to be one of

70
00:05:08,050 --> 00:05:08,790
those employees too.

71
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:13,890
So you look at like farm service agency right now, their director or state director, every

72
00:05:13,890 --> 00:05:18,890
time a new administration comes in, they're going to get a new one, they're pretty much

73
00:05:18,890 --> 00:05:19,890
just political appointments.

74
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:26,330
So, they've changed that in our state cons now, political, tentative political, and so's

75
00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:26,650
the chief.

76
00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:34,870
So, NRCS, one of the few agencies in the country that kind of wasn't that way, and provided

77
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:40,070
some consistency with us in terms of how we worked and operated, and those kind of things

78
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:41,170
weren't going to have that in them.

79
00:05:41,610 --> 00:05:44,050
So, a lot of some impacts, and that's too bad.

80
00:05:44,290 --> 00:05:46,470
So, we'll probably get new state cons as-

81
00:05:46,470 --> 00:05:48,530
You're going to lose your institutional knowledge.

82
00:05:48,530 --> 00:05:51,450
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, we're not a political agency.

83
00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:54,210
So, you know, that's unfortunate.

84
00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:57,270
But it kind of will be now because they'll put in the people

85
00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:59,270
that, you know, the administration will come in

86
00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:02,090
and they'll kind of put in a yes man

87
00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:07,250
that wants to end with a pretty specific political maneuvers

88
00:06:07,890 --> 00:06:08,910
or whatever, but we don't know.

89
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:11,250
Maybe, you know, maybe it'll be just this great,

90
00:06:11,390 --> 00:06:12,930
but I think we've been pretty lucky in the past,

91
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:14,930
but so part of that reorganization,

92
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:17,190
that's kind of one of the big things that'll impact us.

93
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:25,070
locally we're just still writing a lot of contracts as soon as we're done I'll kind

94
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:30,610
of bring a summary of you know how much we spent in the areas and how many contracts

95
00:06:30,610 --> 00:06:35,990
that equal. Looking forward to the next year are the way that we fund things with our strategic

96
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:40,970
fund pools those are still going to be in place they were thinking about changing some

97
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:46,490
of that but they're not going to change it very much. A few tweaks over there on that subject

98
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:52,330
We've talked about putting in a remote grazing one and it's something that you probably

99
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:57,210
had to think about if you want to put in person money for some remote grazing.

100
00:06:57,630 --> 00:06:59,770
We've kind of had some preliminary talks with some of us.

101
00:07:00,050 --> 00:07:03,210
That'd be for collars and collars, you know, grazing.

102
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:07,070
We could include some fence in that, even trough, swatter.

103
00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:11,510
I know that the fence is intuitive with remote grazing.

104
00:07:11,790 --> 00:07:15,870
But there's some potential things that can happen with additional fence and

105
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:18,750
association with the remote stuff.

106
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:22,050
Defencing is pretty tight on what they allow you to actually fence, right?

107
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:24,890
It's got to be internal fences.

108
00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:28,030
It's got to be internal fences that we can do border fences.

109
00:07:28,190 --> 00:07:32,570
It's pretty tight restrictions on when we can do them,

110
00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:36,290
but there are certain instances we can do and we have to go up to the state

111
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:38,910
and that's the cancellation assessment of those situations.

112
00:07:39,130 --> 00:07:39,930
And we have approvals.

113
00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:42,850
Yeah, but we can justify it, but it's not impossible to do that.

114
00:07:42,850 --> 00:07:49,850
if situations are okay, usually it's like a land use change we can do on how if there's

115
00:07:50,530 --> 00:07:51,650
existing fence

116
00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:59,690
there's wildlife corridors that we can do accommodate. So land use would be like

117
00:08:00,370 --> 00:08:09,090
you're taking a piece that's been in multi-people raising and you're fencing off a piece of your own

118
00:08:09,090 --> 00:08:10,810
But that kind of made it count.

119
00:08:11,890 --> 00:08:19,610
Potentially, yeah, we could look at individual cases, and if we feel like we can kind

120
00:08:19,610 --> 00:08:23,010
of justify it, then we can send it up and get it approved for their own offense.

121
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:28,610
But this remote grazing thing, if that's something that you think people that are interested

122
00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:36,150
in, we're looking at maybe doing a combined one between all the SCDs or all the conservation

123
00:08:36,150 --> 00:08:41,250
districts up here or if the conservation district wanted to just do

124
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:44,830
one for themselves we could look at that too we could submit a couple we could

125
00:08:44,830 --> 00:08:49,710
do one for more and then to do one for yeah I've got some colors and I think

126
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:52,950
there's some others in the county that would too yeah there's some interest out there

127
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:59,450
I think so it's getting higher and higher every year anyway so but I think they've

128
00:08:59,450 --> 00:09:05,830
kind of fine-tuned it down to where it actually works pretty good so do you have to

129
00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:13,410
I mean, with respect to the collars, do you have to do your own tower or can you use existing towers?

130
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:16,670
It depends on the type of the brand that you get and you work with.

131
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:21,850
So, what would you do if you do go with what's a lot of the towers?

132
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:22,970
These guys know as well.

133
00:09:23,790 --> 00:09:25,130
Ben says towers.

134
00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:27,910
Halter just recently went to satellites.

135
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:29,090
So, no more towers.

136
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:30,450
Oh my gosh.

137
00:09:30,610 --> 00:09:31,430
Right, satellites.

138
00:09:43,630 --> 00:09:50,170
Yeah, there's a lot of different providers. There's even one that's coming out with ear

139
00:09:50,170 --> 00:09:55,630
tags for what we've seen so. And we do help pay for a tower if that's the one that's

140
00:09:56,130 --> 00:10:02,430
I think I said a light one would be quite far the best coverage I don't know how money lies but

141
00:10:02,430 --> 00:10:07,330
there's pros and cons I think yeah you guys got them yeah I'd get close meet with the rats

142
00:10:08,530 --> 00:10:15,350
they've selling different things some do you know small acreage with you know a little better than

143
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:22,470
they do and the others do large acres right a little bit better and so yeah but that's some of your

144
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:32,450
You guys would be interested. We're just talking about remote grazing and maybe putting together a strategic funding proposal for remote grazing for Morgan County.

145
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:34,610
Here wants more color, shall we?

146
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:37,350
Sure.

147
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:40,710
We just got a whole bunch.

148
00:10:41,070 --> 00:10:42,170
How do you spy a bunch more?

149
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:44,290
They're working good, though, right?

150
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:45,410
I mean, yeah.

151
00:10:45,730 --> 00:10:47,030
So how do they actually work?

152
00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:50,930
Do they work off of the regular self-hower and then they talk to each other? Is that correct?

153
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:51,550
Yeah.

154
00:10:51,550 --> 00:10:53,710
Do you guys have some?

155
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:55,610
Yeah, a lot.

156
00:10:56,010 --> 00:10:57,070
Who do you with?

157
00:10:57,690 --> 00:10:58,330
No fence?

158
00:11:01,890 --> 00:11:02,630
We have.

159
00:11:02,910 --> 00:11:04,150
We're a little late then, aren't we?

160
00:11:04,810 --> 00:11:10,030
Well, we already had 200 and we just got approved to do.

161
00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:11,410
Oh, did you play a grant?

162
00:11:11,730 --> 00:11:12,150
Yeah.

163
00:11:12,590 --> 00:11:12,890
Okay.

164
00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,970
Placed and did it like 200 more.

165
00:11:17,830 --> 00:11:18,250
Oh wow.

166
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:21,190
He's running 200 already?

167
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:42,050
So how do you charge them they did each one has to be plugged in take them off the cow plug a man every during the winter

168
00:11:42,890 --> 00:11:46,150
Yeah, there's solar these ones are solar and

169
00:11:53,150 --> 00:11:58,730
And they have a, you know, the battery in them and it kind of depends, it curves the

170
00:11:58,730 --> 00:12:04,530
one, those all about them, but it depends on how much a cow like tests the line and

171
00:12:04,530 --> 00:12:12,250
it's shocking them, how much it uses the battery, most of them, you know, last fine, but.

172
00:12:13,550 --> 00:12:17,730
But they actually have a solar thing right on it, color that actually charges them.

173
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:23,050
Yeah, but they can't but they can't test it enough till they run the battery dead

174
00:12:23,050 --> 00:12:32,050
I mean because the shotgun is what uses the battery up. Yeah, it's pretty pretty handy

175
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:39,270
We tried the biggest challenge we had is you can't keep them on bulls because the ones we got just go around their neck

176
00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:44,590
I mean, I know they're gonna come out like you say there's already something coming in a ear tag. Yeah, I mean

177
00:12:44,590 --> 00:12:49,350
I mean, you know, technology is going to get all pretty fast.

178
00:12:49,610 --> 00:12:50,830
This is pretty new.

179
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:52,470
But their head down, they just...

180
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:58,010
Well, yeah, their head's known as big as their neck, so you put them around a hole and

181
00:12:58,490 --> 00:12:59,050
they just...

182
00:12:59,050 --> 00:12:59,810
Can you show their hands?

183
00:13:02,190 --> 00:13:03,070
We actually...

184
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:12,360
He bought some just ear tags and it doesn't, it won't keep them in place, but at least you

185
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:22,400
track the bulls. So like if they're getting then you kind of see you know or your bulls because if you're

186
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:30,000
holding your cows here and then the bulls leave I mean in nature they kind of go together but if

187
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,040
you're holding the cows and the bulls take off then that's not good. So we wanted to be able to at

188
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:44,080
were they were us so we could bring them back. They stayed pretty close for the

189
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,520
most part.

190
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,260
It's pretty amazing how much bulls are longer. They followed their

191
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:51,600
nose.

192
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,920
We had a bull, he was telling me we had a

193
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,340
bull over here. We unloaded it in deep creek and it went right over into a

194
00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:11,600
turners immediately. We went and got it and hauled it clear over to enterprise, put it in with

195
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,540
a hundred cows, it went over two ranges and it's sitting there by itself.

196
00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:23,680
You would never know that. Yeah. And he just spent all summer there by itself.

197
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680
Yeah, you never see it in a couple of.

198
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,960
You've got to defend it.

199
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:28,600
Yeah, I saw it.

200
00:14:28,780 --> 00:14:29,920
It wasn't that one.

201
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,980
So I don't buy it in this fall for mine.

202
00:14:32,260 --> 00:14:33,060
I don't know what.

203
00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:36,060
I mean, so you would never know that kind of stuff.

204
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,040
Jeez, you don't know idea.

205
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:38,820
Yeah.

206
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:39,820
I mean, he's doing it.

207
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,680
No good whatsoever.

208
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:45,420
Okay, cut and cows.

209
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,380
150 cows over here that are needing a bowl of yeast.

210
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,320
I'm still trying to treat him under the shade tree in hand.

211
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Anyway, but very, that's true.

212
00:14:58,540 --> 00:14:59,160
It's 2026.

213
00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,620
Yeah.

214
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:30,100
They are, they're, they're, they're a good deal. I think in colors and stuff. Yeah. If we think it'd be a benefit, we generate some interest. I know I'm definitely interested in some. Yeah. We've talked a lot. Okay. That's all I've got. If you guys that have any other resource concerns that you want to pursue some funds for, you guys know?

215
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:35,320
the way that they're doing it now, they're not really a deadline, we have to submit a proposal

216
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,100
by, they'll take a proposal anytime during the year, it'll evaluate it and they'll get

217
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:46,580
it approved and then they'll just be ready for the next one. So if we get them in early,

218
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:50,140
then we know we'll have for 20.7 million.

219
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:04,440
I guess you care if I revisit something really quick. Just financials, can we go to financials

220
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:13,620
for just a second. There are a couple of big, lovely deposits that I just need some

221
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:20,920
context for before I do our financial report. So I'm assuming they're from you, Parker.

222
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:32,540
Yeah because we just got so the one on June and or June 1st could be just a

223
00:16:32,540 --> 00:16:40,120
reimbursement because they're pretty small and they're like 2000. One of those

224
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,960
is not from a reimbursement. One of those could be from Diars World 2 just taking

225
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:51,320
in and out. But the one on June 29 was for 9,739, 41.

226
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,020
I'm

227
00:16:54,390 --> 00:16:56,910
going to be probably combining these two mentors,

228
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,120
you said 9,000.

229
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:04,640
Yeah,

230
00:17:16,690 --> 00:17:25,850
9,000. So I have another one that is for 7,769.

231
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:33,150
I got nothing. I got whatever it says on Glacier Bank.

232
00:17:33,150 --> 00:17:39,170
let me see if it's got, if I can pull up the check for the deposit. So the grand total

233
00:17:39,170 --> 00:17:53,770
span of that chemical ISM was $9,966. What was it? $9,669. Well, that's not helpful. That's

234
00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:58,730
neither of them. But like I said, they probably combined everything because that's probably

235
00:17:58,730 --> 00:18:05,610
back of the world too. I'm just going to finance likes to combine stuff. Well but it wouldn't even

236
00:18:05,610 --> 00:18:14,570
work if it was combined because well I've got the one that's 9,000 9,739 and then I've got the

237
00:18:14,570 --> 00:18:18,490
one on July 6th. It was 7,769.

238
00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:34,240
I mean honestly Parker if you are fairly

239
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:43,740
confident that that money is coming from you wish. I just need to be able to put it on a certain

240
00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:50,400
mine on my excel sheet. So if I can just put it under one grant, one or the other grant.

241
00:18:50,420 --> 00:19:00,520
I'm going for the total on the for the one ISM $9966 and what ISM is that just the chemical one.

242
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:11,360
Okay, I'm just going to put that this $7,000 one was for bag of world grant.

243
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:23,940
And then, if I see anything that bumps that up mysteriously, I'll put it in there.

244
00:19:24,620 --> 00:19:24,800
Okay.

245
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,340
That's all I just needed to know.

246
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:32,540
I mean, the only other deposit that would have had a good hand would have been Todd putting

247
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:32,980
the money.

248
00:19:33,420 --> 00:19:41,020
That's what I think that the $2,000 ones down here are either reimbursement or him just

249
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:44,680
transferring or withdrawing and depositing some.

250
00:19:45,860 --> 00:19:50,920
I mean, he kept it all out till the end and then everything back and everything wasn't

251
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,940
back once.

252
00:19:52,340 --> 00:19:52,620
Did he?

253
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,020
Okay.

254
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:55,940
I think he gave me all of the stuff for that too.

255
00:19:55,940 --> 00:19:57,800
So that should be easy to find.

256
00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:01,440
It was just, I got on to see how much we had in there.

257
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440
And all of a sudden, I was like, whoo, that is.

258
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,660
That looks so much healthier than my time.

259
00:20:05,860 --> 00:20:06,520
I was in here.

260
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,720
So yeah, I figured something big had hit.

261
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,220
So thank you.

262
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,820
Well, we need to start writing checks out

263
00:20:14,820 --> 00:20:20,460
to the, yep, people on that on this break for this chemical.

264
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,500
Do you have all that information, right?

265
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,860
to the people that we need to start writing checks, dude.

266
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:30,100
Is it all in that spreadsheet?

267
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,240
It's in the spreadsheet and I'll share that Google Drive

268
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,580
but I'll share it with you.

269
00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:37,040
It's got addresses, names, and all the above.

270
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:37,780
And then I'll go.

271
00:20:37,780 --> 00:20:38,540
I think I've got it, Parker.

272
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,380
If I don't, all of the money, we've got to make sure

273
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:45,640
it goes to you for doing that, right?

274
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:46,620
You do?

275
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,680
So, I think I do.

276
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,140
Right, I mean that.

277
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,000
I don't know as a tip.

278
00:20:55,100 --> 00:21:03,280
Well, when you get done writing on them checks, you'll think, okay, that's what I needed.

279
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,780
So, as they said, they were paying you double up and the admin is all not spreadsheet

280
00:21:08,780 --> 00:21:09,060
too.

281
00:21:09,140 --> 00:21:11,800
You'll see it's a little over $900 or something.

282
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:12,820
Okay.

283
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,660
I just, should I just do that in a lump sum at the end of the year?

284
00:21:19,460 --> 00:21:21,240
That probably the best way to do it.

285
00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:33,460
Okay, like now or like clear enough. I mean you can do it now. It's not gonna matter too much

286
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:43,480
but the money's there now. So how do you want your Christmas bonus? Right? Maybe I

287
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:52,260
want the place of a Christmas bonus. That's a great idea. Okay. Right? I'll tell you guys when it hits.

288
00:21:52,260 --> 00:21:55,960
And this would be a good time when I looked at our account. I was like, whoa, that's so good.

289
00:21:56,660 --> 00:22:02,260
I should give myself a bonus. Okay, that's all I needed with financials.

290
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Okay, here are the next top order. Okay.

291
00:22:07,220 --> 00:22:15,640
So just going along with the ISMs, they are active, so I'll just update our new chemical reinforcement forums

292
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:18,920
and we'll just do the same thing last year.

293
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:22,080
Just we'll get the word out to people and again it's there.

294
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:24,480
We do have some equipment we can purchase,

295
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,760
but let's see what Todd got with your guys' money

296
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,800
and then we can kind of fill in the gaps too.

297
00:22:30,260 --> 00:22:31,760
What's the heat in that bottom?

298
00:22:32,420 --> 00:22:34,960
Yeah, and I can, do you want to see what he got?

299
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,520
I can tell it to him.

300
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,320
Does he need a rough, perhaps some kind of a contract

301
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,340
or rental deal on them or how are we?

302
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:45,220
We can, yeah, I can write something up.

303
00:22:45,220 --> 00:22:45,620
I

304
00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:06,680
haven't really talked to Todd about it. I know he ordered that stuff, but I have it. I have all of the documentation that I'll just send.

305
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,020
Well, he gave him a check, didn't we?

306
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:16,000
Yeah, we did. We gave him a check. He went to Tucker's time about a gift card.

307
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:22,560
He ordered it all with a gift card, so that was very innovative of him.

308
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:30,440
because they probably yeah because we had to order it all online and so yeah great so

309
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:38,940
oh we do well I think of that we need to check today for these type for that amount we

310
00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:46,500
for the cancer that will frag my e spring as it's in and stuff so did we get a bunch of

311
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:53,020
that spring Morgan that what we got the spring I'll do it later on yeah we're getting close to

312
00:23:53,020 --> 00:24:00,840
the spring at late in the fall no like late summer yeah I guess when I said I had to do it early so

313
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,760
you can hit some of those what I've seen early it's a small beginning patch but if it's an established

314
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:12,720
patch I have a big seed bank you gotta start in the fall no way you pull the down the roads and you

315
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,680
start getting a good kill. But once it starts going backwards it's going to be a good

316
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:23,080
thing. So, they've got the chemical. They have to get some of it in and everything.

317
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,700
And we've already paid the guy to apply it.

318
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,220
Oh, that's right.

319
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Nope, no. That's totally fine.

320
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:43,660
So I reached out to, I just wanted to follow up on this with Kate and Ag Protection in the

321
00:24:43,660 --> 00:24:47,020
County because I talked to her a couple of months ago. She had to receive any

322
00:24:47,020 --> 00:24:51,760
applicants but then I sent her a text today and said hey is there any new

323
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,080
applicant she said yeah we've had some people interested but she told them to

324
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,440
hold off they're trying to redo some things on their side with the code to make

325
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,440
sure it's up to date and so for those people you know we're still interested in

326
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,080
that protection telling the hold off just a little bit till and August first

327
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,760
which is September to go and reapply for that.

328
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,320
But we're having a ton of conversation

329
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,920
with the conservation districts

330
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,360
about Ag Protection with UDOT's starting to go through stuff.

331
00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:23,360
If you've been through Hebrew Valley,

332
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,220
you've seen what's happening in the North fields.

333
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,700
If the longer Ag Protection is in place,

334
00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:32,980
the better fight you have against like UDOT

335
00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:34,860
and cities and counties.

336
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,600
And it's just gonna help the cause for the producers.

337
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,260
So, the sooner the better, just because there's development, there's neighbors moving in.

338
00:25:44,540 --> 00:25:52,260
So, the longer act protection is in, the more foundation you have to fight against people.

339
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:59,120
So, yeah, just tell people whether to you or your neighbors, just tell them, like, please do it,

340
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:05,480
because, yeah, they're dealing with a lot of issues up there, and it's a really good program.

341
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,200
I'm happy to bring a thing again to talk about some of the code.

342
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,120
We did that with Weaver County. We're going to do it up in some encampments, but

343
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:17,440
just trying to hit that home to help producers out with that.

344
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:20,840
But you guys have any questions on ag protection. I know we did that.

345
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,740
Big night on ag protection and easements, but again, it's

346
00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:29,480
probably something I would give down as soon as possible.

347
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,860
Probably this fall just because it is going to

348
00:26:31,860 --> 00:26:40,680
From what they told us, it's like 120 to 180 days to get it all processed through the county and all through the city.

349
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:46,670
So yeah, it's a longer process so the sooner the better.

350
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:50,810
I'm glad we got Kate pushing for that.

351
00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:55,510
Yes, she's doing a good job and she's doing a good job.

352
00:26:55,510 --> 00:27:03,050
So I just wanted to bring that back up because that was the focus of ours with that dinner

353
00:27:03,050 --> 00:27:05,850
and we just don't want to let that roll over and die.

354
00:27:06,470 --> 00:27:10,450
So can you keep up her cake and push me around that?

355
00:27:10,530 --> 00:27:11,550
Yep, yeah, absolutely.

356
00:27:12,530 --> 00:27:20,290
Yep, I'll follow up with her probably September and just see if they were able to get things finalized

357
00:27:20,290 --> 00:27:24,410
and that she does, I think we do a big email out

358
00:27:24,410 --> 00:27:26,530
and we can just do a little flyer,

359
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:28,550
texted to people, say, go apply.

360
00:27:28,930 --> 00:27:31,130
Like now it's open, they've got it up and rolling

361
00:27:31,130 --> 00:27:33,630
just to keep it going and stuff.

362
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:37,070
Okay, and also what we're talking about that,

363
00:27:37,250 --> 00:27:41,570
emails out, they told me that the county has a list

364
00:27:41,570 --> 00:27:43,950
of everybody that has ground in Greenbelt.

365
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,960
If you could ever get us that list, that would be phenomenal.

366
00:27:52,060 --> 00:27:57,360
Then we could add that on to our email list or send out a list because they're the actual

367
00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:59,340
people we want to hit the ones that have green belt.

368
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:05,920
What is the, I've thought Ag protection, I thought you might be referring to green belt.

369
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,960
So what are you talking about when you say?

370
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:15,180
So Ag protection is, it was put in code by the state to allow Ag producers some protection

371
00:28:15,980 --> 00:28:22,120
to kind of write the farm, so to say, so they can not deal with neighbor

372
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:28,400
complaints about, like they don't have, they don't have, they don't like the smell.

373
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:28,720
Okay.

374
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:40,660
And with the expansion of roads, they can't impose on a farm, so they have to make sure gates are up to code.

375
00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:47,100
Fences are going to actually keep livestock in even fit equipment through if they do expand right away

376
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:54,320
And so it it's just given the agriculture producers a backbone to have something to fly on

377
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,780
So do you have to register? Yeah, see you through the city so if you're in the city limits

378
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:04,460
You go through the city, but if you're in unincorporated or in the county limits, it goes through the county

379
00:29:04,460 --> 00:29:09,180
And Morgan is revising there?

380
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,020
Yeah, just revising it because she said it's pretty old and they just need to update it.

381
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Okay.

382
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:29,480
So, typically they can, it doesn't happen very often because it goes through the county board

383
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,180
which is typically the conservation district.

384
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:36,260
is the first people to hear about that protection

385
00:29:36,260 --> 00:29:39,000
and it's proposed there and then it goes to the county

386
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,540
and the county commissioners to approve it, so to say.

387
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:43,720
So it's gotta go through a couple,

388
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,880
but it's for the most part of the aisle to go through,

389
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,820
so that's a quick, good question for Kay,

390
00:29:51,980 --> 00:29:53,580
maybe some of these county recorders,

391
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,360
I have never dealt with any that haven't gone through,

392
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,520
so people like me, I can't see, maybe, but.

393
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,100
So what do we need to do to get the city going on this as well? That would probably be a really good question for Kate to involve the city, because we're dealing with it. Ogden Valley having like a city councilman attend, as they're doing your code, so getting like a city councilman or the mayors involved too. If you know the mayor of a good contact for Morgan City, let's have him come and we can give.

394
00:30:49,620 --> 00:31:01,340
Yeah, that may not be a bad meeting to just have if they don't have a code in Morgan City just to help them to get a code for those that are interested in applying for act protection in the city.

395
00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:07,660
city. So I think we start with K let's get the counties in line in order and then we'll

396
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:14,360
move to the city and then they can kind of adopt more than city to adopt that. So that

397
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,040
would be my recommendation. That would be easy.

398
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,360
So yeah that's just something I don't want

399
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,440
to let die and I just yeah I know there's a lot of conversation around not only our zone

400
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:35,800
just in different areas around the state. So another thing, so these are called ag shop grants,

401
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:42,500
these are going to run through UDAF, these are going to be grand dollars they can use for outreach

402
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:50,220
events, mainly soil health related so we can do like a no-till drill day, do something with the youth,

403
00:31:50,860 --> 00:31:57,380
those aren't available yet but we can start thinking about something to do for

404
00:31:57,380 --> 00:32:02,300
outreach whether it is just do a quick demo of those nontills we can get

405
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:07,960
somebody from use that money to have some a rep come from great planes to show

406
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:14,480
how to run the drill tips tricks and get a couple people to do some will speak

407
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:20,880
a little conference is on it, so get somebody from the USU to talk and vice versa.

408
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:26,580
So just something to think about for you guys, if you would like to do that, because somebody

409
00:32:26,580 --> 00:32:31,480
else's money is rather than ours for like real history kind of stuff.

410
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,580
Yeah, this one would be incorporate this other stuff with it.

411
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:37,880
Yeah, I'd have to be more, because it's going to be ranked out, so we're going to have to

412
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:44,220
make sure it's probably strictly a soil health related, it probably won't tie well just

413
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:50,620
to chip on to a really industry unless you brought like a soil speaker so to say or did like a demo

414
00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:58,100
day because those ones ranked pretty well last time but we could do that in the fall or maybe

415
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:05,860
we could do a demo before the dinner and bring out a speaker and then give some people some burgers

416
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:13,520
that night, so just make ready a district a little bit longer, so any of you can get

417
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,280
somebody that's used it here in Morgan, or the drill.

418
00:33:17,740 --> 00:33:18,260
Yeah, I've had it.

419
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:19,720
Yeah?

420
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:24,520
No, it would be, especially if somebody's recently planted it, and you can go see it coming

421
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:30,480
up vice versa, kind of, see it before and after, and go through there.

422
00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:36,140
So any questions, that's kind of just to keep that in your back pocket.

423
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:42,820
I'll probably throw an application in, but just be thinking about that for the county.

424
00:33:42,980 --> 00:33:48,840
If something you guys would like to see, it probably just has a good idea though.

425
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Kevin, I'm just doing it before the brilliant district.

426
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:58,820
We can just do a quick demo and give somebody to come speak about it and get a cup.

427
00:33:58,820 --> 00:34:04,820
maybe one or two guys from the USU and the dealer and so I helped another so

428
00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:10,400
health expert we could even get the rainfall simulator from Tell Me To and show

429
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:16,240
why no tills important so yeah something to brainstorm I know we're a couple

430
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:21,240
months away from that but this money probably won't be for this won't be

431
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:27,200
available for this fall but probably 20 one of that 2027 so probably be the

432
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,800
following really your district or a spring time event so yeah just something

433
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:38,200
keeping back your mind and then I've

434
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:45,780
got you guys a scope of work which is so when

435
00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:50,840
they sent out your $11,000 agreement they asked you to do like a scope of work so

436
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:57,400
like what the conservation district is planning to do with their $11,000 and some

437
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,940
some of the events. So, is that an HDMI cord behind you, Kathy?

438
00:35:02,340 --> 00:35:03,860
Yeah, you're a taxi.

439
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,360
You're a taxi.

440
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,580
Let's see. I'm going to just roll over there.

441
00:35:09,980 --> 00:35:11,960
But, I'm just getting input from you guys.

442
00:35:12,460 --> 00:35:13,200
The first gear.

443
00:35:15,020 --> 00:35:15,420
Yep.

444
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,200
Is that right here?

445
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:18,080
I don't know.

446
00:35:18,260 --> 00:35:18,440
Perfect.

447
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,500
But it just kind of goes over some of the programs that you guys do.

448
00:35:26,270 --> 00:35:27,930
It goes over some of the programs.

449
00:36:05,350 --> 00:36:13,770
It's just a very general document. It does not. It just gives a state an idea of what is happening in a conservation district.

450
00:36:13,770 --> 00:36:22,150
So, for example, promote programs, attend look-a-worder meetings, administer support and train

451
00:36:22,150 --> 00:36:30,090
districts, district assistance, so including projects, so aid in any of these projects,

452
00:36:30,330 --> 00:36:36,930
dialogue world, not just weeds, and then supervisor training, make sure we're doing trainings,

453
00:36:36,930 --> 00:36:43,170
modules if we're doing conferences so I'll just being up to date on new

454
00:36:43,170 --> 00:36:49,650
practices and then reviewing any like auditor trainings, supervisor involvement

455
00:36:49,650 --> 00:36:56,030
just making sure we're attending zone meetings are monthly meetings and that

456
00:36:56,030 --> 00:37:03,290
reporting our serum forms and then we're vice versa so education and

457
00:37:03,290 --> 00:37:12,190
Byrathon, if you guys do have an Byrathon team that you provide them with either scholarships or opportunities.

458
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:23,250
I'm going to post the UACD and UDF website or your own Facebook page, the 10 county commission meetings,

459
00:37:24,290 --> 00:37:32,610
I'm sorry, I have a county commissioner in attendance, host tours, and then for compliance

460
00:37:32,610 --> 00:37:38,090
and reporting we're going to do budget contracts, the work, and then association use contract

461
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:39,990
to NACD, UACD.

462
00:37:40,250 --> 00:37:49,590
So again, very, very general, but this kind of gives the steady idea of some of the programs

463
00:37:49,590 --> 00:37:54,150
that the conservation district is involved in and what's happening with them.

464
00:37:54,330 --> 00:37:58,890
But any questions, anything you'd like to see or add in or remove?

465
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,140
You've got that.

466
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,280
They're thing there is going to the zone meetings, but what about?

467
00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:11,680
Do you have the, what you do have the and UAC and you'll leave right there?

468
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:12,040
Okay.

469
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,040
Even though if we all go, you can't afford to pay everybody.

470
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:24,560
But we

471
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:29,200
can say, see, we told you we was going to do this.

472
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,820
Any questions, anything you'd like to see or change?

473
00:38:34,260 --> 00:38:35,320
Or do

474
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:46,220
you have something there on the drill, sorry?

475
00:38:47,140 --> 00:38:48,200
No, I do not.

476
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,600
But we should definitely have something there on the shelves.

477
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:56,540
to find their under district operations.

478
00:38:57,460 --> 00:39:00,580
So let me all add that though to it when I sit down,

479
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,740
add that real quick.

480
00:39:02,380 --> 00:39:05,000
So I have a question.

481
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,480
Do you, are you aware of other conservation districts

482
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,400
that do more use outreach?

483
00:39:12,740 --> 00:39:14,720
I mean, I feel like you do the bag of load,

484
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:16,880
but I'm just curious,

485
00:39:17,740 --> 00:39:19,760
does anybody else do anything like that?

486
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:31,380
So that's one thing. We've had a ton of conversations with just among UDAF of how do we get younger kids involved?

487
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:33,380
Because that's where we're really struggling.

488
00:39:34,220 --> 00:39:36,340
Diageload, great. We're getting the youth involved.

489
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:46,440
But how do we get like FFA or 4H groups to maybe one or two to sit down on me?

490
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,540
I mean, what happens in a conservation district meeting?

491
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,660
What happens with the note to a drill,

492
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,260
do some of these conservation projects?

493
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,540
So they've talked about on-ernie board members,

494
00:39:57,190 --> 00:40:00,660
or maybe just having the FFA advisors,

495
00:40:00,660 --> 00:40:03,040
maybe one or two of them attend meetings,

496
00:40:03,060 --> 00:40:07,000
just so we can get input, support them, they support us.

497
00:40:07,300 --> 00:40:10,720
But it's kind of, we're in the brainstorm part

498
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:14,460
of the conservation districts being involved with the youth.

499
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:17,480
because I think we're missing that vote.

500
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:21,200
I think you guys are doing really a job with the bag of load.

501
00:40:21,660 --> 00:40:24,320
I think now we can just kind of expand into that.

502
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:25,480
And we do farm field days.

503
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,300
And I think if we got involved with the high school kids

504
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:31,340
that are about to decide, all right,

505
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:33,940
are we going to, am I going to go into ag or natural resource

506
00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:37,840
or am I going to go into another major vice versa?

507
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,200
So thoughts, I mean, that's everything for thoughts

508
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:49,280
some discussion. I mean, years ago I went, one of the FFA teachers invited me to come

509
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,940
and we just did the, I just did the slide show on like why the conservation districts

510
00:40:54,940 --> 00:41:06,960
were born, but, I mean, you could expand on that. We, way off for that scholarship, yeah,

511
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,500
And we haven't even had anybody apply, I mean, I don't even know if we did it last year.

512
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:18,880
I mean, I don't think we received any applications, so we definitely, how do we get our name out there?

513
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,780
I mean, you didn't let them know there's no need there.

514
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:29,500
A lot of these kids, I work with the FFA with a lot of stuff, but they don't really even know what we are.

515
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:36,700
Yeah. Well, he was superb influence with the FFA now because one of the FFA teachers

516
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:43,460
here in Morgan is now on the conservation board in Canvas. So, he would be a good resource.

517
00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:51,120
Really? Yeah. I mean, would it benefit to get some of the kids in the FFA to come join

518
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:56,420
this meeting once in a while or something? Yeah. Not that that would interest them at all.

519
00:42:02,380 --> 00:42:14,760
So, I know, like, on the scholarship applications, that if you have more pouring down that money, you can kind of rank them, or they can do presentations in front of you guys.

520
00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:16,200
I don't know.

521
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,880
We've got to get one more.

522
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,080
So maybe when we use some fire in the days, we scholarships available, this is kind

523
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:25,760
of the criteria.

524
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:33,740
Wasn't a part of the problem with that, it was the school one of you side who got it,

525
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:34,600
the scholarship.

526
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:39,380
You don't have to, you don't have to do that, they want you, but you don't have to.

527
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:47,840
The biggest problem is that it's not reimbursable, yeah, you just have to, that just comes out of

528
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,300
I don't know, Mark II and what do we usually do...

529
00:42:52,300 --> 00:43:00,400
We usually do had a 25- Second and think if they get this one they can move on and try

530
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,580
to get the zone one which is a thousand.

531
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,660
That's what's like the quilt and what the odds are.

532
00:43:07,660 --> 00:43:21,380
every day. Right, right. So, I mean, it seems like me, the last few we didn't get any

533
00:43:21,380 --> 00:43:26,120
applications and when we did, they ended up not using them. We haven't paid out on

534
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,440
one of them for a long time.

535
00:43:29,820 --> 00:43:33,660
I guess how do we boost that out there to get more

536
00:43:33,660 --> 00:43:40,600
people in there. Maybe one of the criteria is we've got to participate in two or three

537
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:45,640
of the meetings and then they've got to do a presentation. So maybe a little bit more

538
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:52,220
rigorous, but get them involved in a couple of meetings. Not just get to check and then walk

539
00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:56,480
out, but they've got a criteria. You've got to come to two meetings and then you've got to

540
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:01,800
you're going to find the presentation on what you want to be like.

541
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:02,840
What you want to be like.

542
00:44:03,060 --> 00:44:04,920
What's the sort of an application I mean?

543
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:08,620
So, like, if nobody's applying, they're certainly not going to be that.

544
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:09,040
Yeah, yeah.

545
00:44:09,620 --> 00:44:10,340
Make a order.

546
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,080
Let's try to get some people to apply to the first and then.

547
00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:14,320
What if you upped it?

548
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,660
I feel like $250 because I don't know.

549
00:44:16,660 --> 00:44:17,400
You're like a one textbook.

550
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:18,480
Oh, maybe.

551
00:44:18,660 --> 00:44:21,200
I think I'm going to be like, this isn't even worse.

552
00:44:21,460 --> 00:44:22,680
My effort.

553
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:23,280
I don't know.

554
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,520
I think it was pretty simple if you put it in the application a lot of years, you got

555
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,660
250 letters.

556
00:44:30,380 --> 00:44:36,220
I think the trick was, like, they had to be going into something, agricultural and related.

557
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,220
So.

558
00:44:39,620 --> 00:44:43,080
What if I make a couple of flyers that we can put out in schools?

559
00:44:43,540 --> 00:44:47,500
At least, I don't think they even know that it's a bit more.

560
00:44:49,580 --> 00:44:50,060
Yeah,

561
00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:53,260
I know.

562
00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:54,960
I'm going to change it in the ag.

563
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,000
We got three ag teachers over there now.

564
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:58,780
Really?

565
00:44:59,180 --> 00:44:59,440
No.

566
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:17,200
High school have a, um, like a guidance counselor that's just over scholarships, like a lot of high schools do. Yeah, that's probably somebody we should get it. But see that when you start getting within with the school, then they want to decide. But you

567
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,820
can set any guidelines you want. Yeah, what's the problem with the school? What was the, was there an issue with the school deciding?

568
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:42,700
But as long as you set the guidelines, you know, like if they're going into Ag and this

569
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:48,400
and that, we have to make them decide it may get more applicants towards it, too.

570
00:45:49,020 --> 00:45:49,160
Yeah.

571
00:45:49,420 --> 00:45:51,800
If there's a guidance counselor, they're meeting with the student.

572
00:45:52,340 --> 00:45:55,240
They know what they're going to be going into and they can save.

573
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:57,160
Yeah.

574
00:45:57,940 --> 00:46:04,860
Yeah, maybe getting a bunch of flyers we can take to the school and give to the guidance counsellors or whoever however

575
00:46:05,940 --> 00:46:11,480
Okay, what's the people that are pushing for the scholarships for the kids aware of rather than the kids themselves?

576
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,900
So what's the amount you guys would like?

577
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:17,480
In the past you guys used to do

578
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,600
At least when I was here you would do 500. Yeah

579
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:27,180
I got one that dropped out of all the stuff you do and you can make a mission through that.

580
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,620
I mean, my kids all went into Ag and they was not on my edge, and they do paperwork.

581
00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:35,260
I was front and back up with you.

582
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:36,740
Well, yeah, they were simple.

583
00:46:37,060 --> 00:46:39,560
And I'm like, do they know how simple?

584
00:46:40,260 --> 00:46:41,140
Like, they didn't know what to do.

585
00:46:41,140 --> 00:46:45,840
I told them my kids both went into Ag and the other one of them.

586
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:47,940
Do you have your kids applied for it?

587
00:46:47,940 --> 00:46:48,440
I know this.

588
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,180
Some of them.

589
00:46:50,180 --> 00:46:52,060
Can anybody else say, you're 20 years old?

590
00:46:52,980 --> 00:46:58,120
You've turned it in $500, $250, whatever it was.

591
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:03,060
I know that some scholarships, you qualify for just based

592
00:47:03,060 --> 00:47:06,900
upon your curriculum, the classes that you take.

593
00:47:07,540 --> 00:47:11,540
And so I almost wonder if you could base it strictly

594
00:47:11,540 --> 00:47:16,120
on how many years you were involved in the FFA, or even

595
00:47:16,660 --> 00:47:19,580
they don't have to fill out the application necessarily.

596
00:47:19,580 --> 00:47:24,860
but their teacher can be like you've been in FFA for three years now and you're going to

597
00:47:24,860 --> 00:47:32,520
do a state for this would you like this scholarship and then the teacher can just submit it and say hey

598
00:47:33,420 --> 00:47:40,900
I don't know. I like to say it was pretty simple. That's pretty. I have two kids.

599
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:50,120
I just think for the new generation, it's coming out on the road, and the papers too much work for a free money.

600
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:58,560
This thing, and then not only that, I mean it's not just 500 because then you move forward to the zone one, you know.

601
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:08,500
So I mean it could ultimately be 1500, which I mean I guess when death just pays the bills anyway it don't matter.

602
00:48:10,660 --> 00:48:12,100
You're the problem, Jason.

603
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,760
Maybe the parents think they can fill it out.

604
00:48:14,820 --> 00:48:15,820
Emily, how are you doing?

605
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:16,600
That's what I did.

606
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:20,880
But on your phone, just a QR code, honey.

607
00:48:21,180 --> 00:48:21,620
Oh, yeah.

608
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:23,160
Can you do any class?

609
00:48:23,620 --> 00:48:23,840
Yeah.

610
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:34,160
We even opened it up one year to, like, kids that were already in college, you know, from

611
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:44,380
I think it's just that we're not getting the word, I don't know, my kids got the word.

612
00:48:47,260 --> 00:48:53,400
I think you set it up where they can scan a QR code and just punch their name in a few

613
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,240
questions in.

614
00:48:54,580 --> 00:48:59,580
Yeah, kids love playing on their phones now, and then all these are getting a lot of interest

615
00:48:59,580 --> 00:49:04,100
Just then you look at something like what you're doing with that, but let's try to get

616
00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:04,980
some interest in it.

617
00:49:05,060 --> 00:49:05,240
First.

618
00:49:06,860 --> 00:49:10,220
I think we get it to the guidance counselors in the schools and a few things like that.

619
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,760
Like I say, things are kind of have changed.

620
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:14,740
You've got Skyler,

621
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,800
you know, now Hayley has one that's like full time there.

622
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:22,900
See you here in morning.

623
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:28,200
and Hannah ran into it's like, we

624
00:49:30,310 --> 00:49:31,370
got three items.

625
00:49:32,790 --> 00:49:35,290
Okay, I'm just right there, back at the day.

626
00:49:38,690 --> 00:49:39,310
I think that's it.

627
00:49:39,490 --> 00:49:43,510
I just want to make sure the kids know what a conservation district is.

628
00:49:43,590 --> 00:49:45,930
I think that's the big thing, a big ball.

629
00:49:46,130 --> 00:49:50,570
Well, and even if, you know, I understand that it's hard for kids to go in to ask.

630
00:49:50,930 --> 00:49:55,750
But you know, if you get somebody like involved in the conservation district

631
00:49:55,750 --> 00:50:02,030
whether they was going into ag or not, a lot of people are in conservation whether they're

632
00:50:02,030 --> 00:50:08,270
in ag or not. Right, I mean there's the whole soil water dimension to it, so we could even make it

633
00:50:08,270 --> 00:50:15,290
bigger if people are interested in that. Try to get people. And I think we should, you know,

634
00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:20,790
the bag of wood and you do farm field days, we used to do like

635
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
the baby animal days, but that's

636
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:34,320
getting like the younger you need to try to target those you know so who does the farm field

637
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:43,180
base is that the ag people are doing that yeah perfect seeing that my dad used to be part of that

638
00:50:43,180 --> 00:50:49,980
well my land used to put it on up but you guys is placed here to go and then when my land quit

639
00:50:49,980 --> 00:50:56,940
doing it and it kind of died and then Desiree when she was here she picked it back up and we

640
00:50:56,940 --> 00:51:04,480
was doing it as a conservation district but then we turned it over to the FFA and said you guys

641
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:12,120
do this will help you with whatever you need. They do it every year and we and we go we have a few

642
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:20,640
stations. And so it is happening. So we are still part of it then. Yeah. I mean these guys are,

643
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:25,820
you get, you know, the fairgrounds, right? That's where we come over and help cookers or

644
00:51:25,820 --> 00:51:29,920
no, no, they just, they just have all the stations.

645
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,040
Yeah, they do like sheep or shears and some sheep,

646
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:43,720
There's a horse. There's some life. We usually send somebody from our group to do the beef station.

647
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:50,240
I don't think I'm going to be able to. These guys go through. I know. We do the watershed models.

648
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,540
I don't think they do that. I don't think they do that.

649
00:51:56,540 --> 00:51:59,220
It's a classic. I've done the watershed for all of the time.

650
00:52:00,740 --> 00:52:01,660
Kids love it.

651
00:52:04,060 --> 00:52:05,740
Okay. We need to look.

652
00:52:05,740 --> 00:52:06,800
That's all I get in that.

653
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:10,720
So, okay, I always just make a flyer and just something to get out.

654
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,440
I think just, like, they participate in bag of load,

655
00:52:14,740 --> 00:52:18,260
but they don't know who is the conservation district

656
00:52:18,260 --> 00:52:19,400
and how they can be.

657
00:52:19,540 --> 00:52:24,760
Well, and if, you know, maybe even go present to a few classes.

658
00:52:25,220 --> 00:52:28,260
Yeah, I mean, I think that would go a long way, it's honestly.

659
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:32,020
Yeah, I think a little more contact through at the year,

660
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:34,500
because I feel like we're sort of, you know, we hit him,

661
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:39,600
But even if there was even a seasonal kind of thing and it was just like raising awareness

662
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,560
I'm not I don't know what we would do, but I just can see that as

663
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,100
Over the long-term, you know reaching more people

664
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:50,660
Well, and you know like I've got these contacts

665
00:52:51,180 --> 00:52:52,940
I've been I've had with the FFA

666
00:52:53,880 --> 00:53:00,440
You know for diars won't and and this stuff, but they still even that close. They don't really know what we do

667
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:08,380
So, you know, now they've been doing this going to the classrooms, if we went in and said,

668
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:14,160
you know, okay, you guys have been helping us with this, but this is what, this is the

669
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:21,860
whole picture, you know. So, I think going in, and it fits into their curriculum, if you

670
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:27,980
hit it on the right, if you talk to the FFA teachers, they're like, okay, this is, they go

671
00:53:27,980 --> 00:53:33,580
and the conservation and that's the time we need to go like how do we get it

672
00:53:33,580 --> 00:53:36,940
every year and that curriculum like it's a part like so a conservation

673
00:53:36,940 --> 00:53:44,600
issue like I talked to yeah talk to Skylar and probably probably a good idea I

674
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,700
don't tell Skylar I see I've been with him all week and I've been over there for

675
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:53,120
Well, last two days, when you were there, you couldn't have.

676
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:54,200
I was too.

677
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:54,800
Yeah.

678
00:53:56,140 --> 00:53:58,640
This would cook dinner and breakfast for all.

679
00:53:58,820 --> 00:54:00,380
Whole bunch of everything over there.

680
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:00,740
Oh really?

681
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:01,220
Yeah.

682
00:54:01,580 --> 00:54:03,480
Is there an end-cult thing all the,

683
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:11,280
northern Utah, the officers from all northern Utah.

684
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:11,960
250.

685
00:54:13,380 --> 00:54:14,220
Where was that?

686
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:15,020
At the programs.

687
00:54:16,060 --> 00:54:17,440
Because I didn't have enough to do so.

688
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:28,300
Okay, that's all I have, so thank you, you're up.

689
00:54:31,340 --> 00:54:33,960
The bloggers came in, say, and so.

690
00:54:36,180 --> 00:54:39,880
I was going to give this to you when I realized it would actually have any useful information.

691
00:54:40,460 --> 00:54:42,000
I have the invoice.

692
00:54:42,420 --> 00:54:44,700
Scott, I mean, Todd forwarded it to me, so we're good.

693
00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:52,660
Great. I was going to bring them, but I looked in the housing I have is too small so I'm going to look at it once.

694
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,280
I'm also in the road but I have to resell it.

695
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,860
But I think they're both for you.

696
00:55:00,380 --> 00:55:04,640
Well, the other one just went in and there's not much water to put them in.

697
00:55:06,260 --> 00:55:07,980
Yeah, it just turned out fast.

698
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,000
Which one did you put in?

699
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:12,900
I put the line curriculum in.

700
00:55:17,540 --> 00:55:20,480
I don't have anything for Jacob's or Dolphin.

701
00:55:21,460 --> 00:55:22,960
No, it's Peterson Crick.

702
00:55:23,460 --> 00:55:25,460
You give me Peterson Crick and Lyne Crick.

703
00:55:25,580 --> 00:55:29,860
Yeah, I'm saying I don't have, like, there's nothing out in Jacob's or Dolphin.

704
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:30,100
Right.

705
00:55:30,740 --> 00:55:32,500
Well, there is one in Dolphin Crick.

706
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:33,980
That's the one I never had before.

707
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:34,580
Maybe.

708
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:35,960
Maybe.

709
00:55:37,740 --> 00:55:39,040
The one in Peterson Crick.

710
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:39,620
Yeah.

711
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:40,360
Why not?

712
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:50,660
Okay, cool. I see. Well, if I get to it soon, I'll give them to you. And if I don't get to it soon, they're probably not getting water. So, I'll see what I can do.

713
00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:51,340
You better hurry.

714
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:53,860
That water is going fast.

715
00:55:54,780 --> 00:55:59,300
Okay, and the other thing is my presentation.

716
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,620
Are we? Are we good for that?

717
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:04,760
Sure.

718
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,240
The one we wouldn't let you do last week, yeah.

719
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,220
As long as it takes five minutes.

720
00:56:12,580 --> 00:56:13,700
Don't I need to be patient?

721
00:56:14,060 --> 00:56:14,360
Five minutes.

722
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:21,240
One, two.

723
00:56:24,340 --> 00:56:25,420
No, that's not good on button.

724
00:56:26,180 --> 00:56:27,620
Did you get another one more for you?

725
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,280
Just the extended button.

726
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:33,080
It's a good presentation.

727
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:35,800
You don't want to go get it?

728
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,160
It's good for one to go around on that floor.

729
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:46,560
for a couple because you can get them off of it out of the couple but I've got some things I can get to.

730
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,980
I'm having a brain part which is the extend button.

731
00:56:55,860 --> 00:56:57,040
Maybe it won't work.

732
00:56:57,720 --> 00:56:58,460
Yeah, maybe it won't work.

733
00:57:05,570 --> 00:57:06,850
There's an extension.

734
00:57:07,330 --> 00:57:09,090
Is that what you mean?

735
00:57:13,470 --> 00:57:20,010
Oh, you just have to go into it and then close out of that and then go up to the side

736
00:57:20,010 --> 00:57:24,210
show, the little drop down under the side show, and then you go to present.

737
00:57:24,430 --> 00:57:26,130
Well, it's showing both of them.

738
00:57:26,290 --> 00:57:26,630
Oh.

739
00:57:26,930 --> 00:57:27,670
Maybe I need this.

740
00:57:27,990 --> 00:57:28,170
Yeah.

741
00:57:29,390 --> 00:57:30,230
Full screen.

742
00:57:30,690 --> 00:57:31,090
Full screen.

743
00:57:31,530 --> 00:57:32,670
Start the side show again.

744
00:57:33,890 --> 00:57:33,990
No.

745
00:57:35,810 --> 00:57:43,110
It's duplicating and I want you to accept the little axe up in the corner, so I'm not

746
00:57:43,110 --> 00:57:43,870
actually home.

747
00:57:48,390 --> 00:57:49,610
I'm so confused.

748
00:57:53,620 --> 00:57:54,600
Somebody's got something back.

749
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,980
We never introduced you.

750
00:57:59,180 --> 00:58:00,060
Who are you?

751
00:58:00,340 --> 00:58:01,020
Because I was late.

752
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:01,880
I know what you're doing.

753
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,120
I know what was late as me.

754
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:04,560
That's why I was asking.

755
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:05,740
Did Maggie send you?

756
00:58:05,740 --> 00:58:16,100
I came for this. I get emails about your meetings. I don't. Sorry, I'm one of those that doesn't understand, but I wanted to see the watershed and I'm very concerned about it.

757
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:16,680
Oh, okay.

758
00:58:16,980 --> 00:58:17,720
Well, it's okay.

759
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:19,040
It's okay.

760
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:20,600
Well, it's okay.

761
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:21,060
Wow.

762
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:23,140
It'll pressure you out.

763
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:24,620
It'll pressure you out, really.

764
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,060
Well, she can't get it on the screen. We'll put you next to her.

765
00:58:30,100 --> 00:58:30,200
We'll put you next to her.

766
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,000
We'll put you next to her.

767
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,320
We'll put you next to her.

768
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,940
I missed your name, what did you say? Kelly, round me. Nice to meet you.

769
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,500
I guess we should all go around and do some quick dinner, don't we?

770
00:58:41,180 --> 00:58:44,260
Yeah, so I think you and I will get some some more coming off on with the Natural Resources

771
00:58:44,260 --> 00:58:49,020
Conservation Service, Federal Agency. So we work closely with the Conservation District's

772
00:58:49,020 --> 00:58:53,060
area. Oh, you guys have some cutbacks, huh? My offend, but I need to turn it on.

773
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,840
We've got it. But you know, I'm talking about Army Corps.

774
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:02,840
Oh, that's good. I hope a lot of us have got that. It's down still here.

775
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:13,750
I'm sorry I'm Jason Warren I'm the chairman of the conservation district has no interest in water

778
00:59:34,790 --> 00:59:37,810
And I'm Kevin Thurston and I'm on the board.

779
00:59:37,950 --> 00:59:39,390
I've heard your name before.

780
00:59:39,870 --> 00:59:40,050
Oh.

781
00:59:41,690 --> 00:59:43,130
Don't forget to get a name.

782
00:59:44,890 --> 00:59:46,690
I can't remember when I heard that.

783
00:59:47,790 --> 00:59:48,910
And I'm Jessica Reynolds.

784
00:59:49,190 --> 00:59:51,890
I am the watershed coordinator with the Libra River Partnership

785
00:59:51,890 --> 00:59:55,290
We're a nonprofit that operates in Libra, Morgan, Davis.

786
00:59:56,210 --> 00:59:57,050
Oh, God.

787
00:59:57,390 --> 00:59:57,550
Yeah.

788
00:59:58,390 --> 00:59:59,450
And some counties.

789
00:59:59,710 --> 00:59:59,970
More of.

790
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:09,160
Thank you, Mortensen. I'm the clerk for the district.

I'm the resource, resource coordinator. I work with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. Oh, very good. Thank you.

792
01:00:20,860 --> 01:00:24,980
I'm Gsackinson, I'm a partner with UDAP, and I'm

793
01:00:27,700 --> 01:00:30,300
sorry that we didn't introduce

794
01:00:30,300 --> 01:00:30,560
you.

795
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,480
Yeah, I just thought I would sneak in.

796
01:00:32,660 --> 01:00:34,040
You were really good quiet.

797
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:37,080
Okay.

798
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:42,240
This could be a discipline thing to you because you're generic.

799
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,140
It's not specifically for this watershed.

800
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:54,620
Okay, so I created this PowerPoint as one of my stretch goals for stuff that I think

801
01:00:54,620 --> 01:00:58,280
all of these should be aware of and understand.

802
01:00:58,940 --> 01:00:59,920
You might already.

803
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,080
It's always good to hear it more than once.

804
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:10,100
So I've kind of divided it into four sections, equilibrium, and all that affects river movement

805
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:17,080
the way that we categorize rivers, stream restoration methods, and then what I do when

806
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:25,360
I'm out water quality monitoring, they take 15-ish, first one's a little long and the other

807
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,720
two are a little shorter, or the other three are a little shorter.

808
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:31,380
So I can do one and we can stop or I can do two.

809
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:49,520
I said we can stop after one, but okay so the most important thing to understand about

810
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:54,280
a river is that it's always trying to reach equilibrium in terms of sediment transportation.

811
01:01:54,940 --> 01:02:00,300
So equilibrium is achieved when a balance is achieved between the capacity to transport

812
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:06,140
sediment in the amount of sediment there is to transport. So changes in the amount of water

813
01:02:06,140 --> 01:02:12,320
or sediment in a river will change how the river behaves. The options for these changes are either

814
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:19,180
deposit sediment, a road sediment, or do nothing. So you need to understand these principles of

815
01:02:19,180 --> 01:02:25,560
equilibrium in order to understand why rivers act the way they do. So points one and two are saying

816
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,900
very similar things. The first one is that channel dimensions are adjusted to the dominant

817
01:02:30,900 --> 01:02:36,220
sediment and water discharge. I'm going to say discharge a lot, and that's just, it's

818
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:40,600
either the amount of water or sediment, in this case I'll be talking about water. So number

819
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:46,560
one is essentially saying that the size and regularity of floods will determine the channel dimensions.

820
01:02:47,540 --> 01:02:52,300
Point two is emphasizing that the adjustments that are ever made to a dominant sediment and water

821
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:58,080
discharge are fairly predictable. They're systematic. The next one is that change from one point

822
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:03,280
to the next is minimize throughout the river system. Another way of saying that is that

823
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:09,960
rivers don't like fast changes. They will eliminate them. Next, equilibrium can be maintained while

824
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:15,820
the channel migrates laterally. In other words, stability does not equal stativeness. And the last

825
01:03:15,820 --> 01:03:20,940
principle is that there is continuity and sediment transport from headwaters to the mouth,

826
01:03:20,940 --> 01:03:22,900
off-flowing water carries sediment.

827
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,840
Okay, so the first principle is that channel dimensions are adjusted

828
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,140
to the dominant sediment and water discharge.

829
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,140
So you have a channel that is formed under a series

830
01:03:33,140 --> 01:03:34,820
of small to moderate discharges,

831
01:03:35,340 --> 01:03:38,020
or to keep things really simple, a hypothetical channel

832
01:03:38,020 --> 01:03:41,220
that is formed under the constant flow of 13CFS.

833
01:03:41,940 --> 01:03:44,340
So if we were to measure the amount of water in the channel

834
01:03:44,340 --> 01:03:46,400
from bank to bank, filled all the way to the top,

835
01:03:46,820 --> 01:03:48,220
it would be 13CFS.

836
01:03:48,220 --> 01:03:53,860
Yes, eventually there will be a large flood, so that channel is going to increase in size

837
01:03:53,860 --> 01:03:58,420
because the extra water can take on more sediment, so it gets pulled from the channel.

838
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:04,520
However, a flood that a really large flood would be like a 50 or 100 year flood, so those

839
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,780
flows won't be maintained to keep the channel that big.

840
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,580
So eventually the channel will fill back in with sediment until it perfectly holds that

841
01:04:12,580 --> 01:04:17,380
13 CFS again as long as the base discharge is still 13 CFS.

842
01:04:17,380 --> 01:04:20,540
So, the channel is adjusting to the dominant discharge.

843
01:04:22,340 --> 01:04:27,020
The second principle is that dimensions of a channel change in a systematic way with

844
01:04:27,020 --> 01:04:28,380
fluctuations in discharge.

845
01:04:29,180 --> 01:04:34,040
So, basically rivers all over the world change in expected ways with similar changes in

846
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:34,380
discharge.

847
01:04:35,340 --> 01:04:40,760
The graph on the left is kind of hard to see, but each line is a river, and these rivers are

848
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,420
from different places, such as Kansas, Wyoming, and Alabama.

849
01:04:45,420 --> 01:04:49,780
On the left is width, depth, and velocity from top to bottom.

850
01:04:50,420 --> 01:04:54,660
The lines are pretty parallel, which tells us that an equivalent increase in discharge,

851
01:04:55,180 --> 01:04:59,340
which is the variable on the x-axis, streams change in the same way.

852
01:04:59,860 --> 01:05:05,040
So if chalk, Greek, and the Mississippi River both receive a 15% increase in discharge, their

853
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:09,080
dimensions will change in the same way, even though they're very different sizes.

854
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:14,140
So we can use these patterns to predict how rivers will behave under different surfaces.

855
01:05:15,260 --> 01:05:19,460
Another thing to mention is that urbanization can drastically change stream behavior.

856
01:05:20,020 --> 01:05:25,280
In general, rural streams hold more water at baseline than urban streams, but when there's

857
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:26,940
a flood, they behave differently.

858
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:33,220
So urban streams get a huge discharge of water all at once, mostly because everything is

859
01:05:33,220 --> 01:05:40,820
impervious surfaces which is run straight off. Something that can be devastating to the

860
01:05:40,820 --> 01:05:46,300
landscape in a rural setting, but it's so much worse for urban settings because there's

861
01:05:46,300 --> 01:05:51,060
much more infrastructure to damage. A rural stream will typically have more of a floodplain

862
01:05:51,060 --> 01:05:55,720
available so that water doesn't rush down the channel at once and the energy can be dissipated.

863
01:05:56,420 --> 01:05:59,660
And these changes are predictable for urban and rural streams.

864
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:05,820
Next principle is that change from one point to the next is minimized throughout the river

865
01:06:05,820 --> 01:06:06,320
system.

866
01:06:06,740 --> 01:06:08,900
AKA rivers don't like fast changes.

867
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:15,780
Any fast change we impose onto a river will have major consequences that we probably

868
01:06:15,780 --> 01:06:16,460
won't find.

869
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:21,740
Straighten channels and constrictions are probably the most common examples of fast changes.

870
01:06:23,860 --> 01:06:28,880
Rivers of all sizes meander in the same way, the angles and sizes of those meanders are

871
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:35,700
directly proportional to the size of the stream and the meanders are where sediment deposition

872
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:41,080
happens. So when we straighten a channel we increase velocity so there's no chance

873
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:46,420
for water to slow down and drop any sediment. The river will try to reform those meanders

874
01:06:46,980 --> 01:06:52,860
and reach equilibrium again. It just depends on how much water it's going to get to make

875
01:06:52,860 --> 01:06:53,520
make the changes.

876
01:06:53,760 --> 01:07:03,430
What extreme stabilization, is that if you go in and, like, they're going to do on our

877
01:07:03,430 --> 01:07:06,370
place, they're coming in to put all the trees in there, is that a good thing?

878
01:07:06,430 --> 01:07:10,090
Trees are okay, hard, hard stuff like roof rack and rock.

879
01:07:10,610 --> 01:07:11,610
That's why they're in the trees.

880
01:07:11,950 --> 01:07:12,110
Yeah.

881
01:07:13,470 --> 01:07:15,050
It's a really good firewood.

882
01:07:16,890 --> 01:07:17,430
It was.

883
01:07:17,690 --> 01:07:18,730
It won't be wet since it's in the water.

884
01:07:20,530 --> 01:07:21,030
I don't know.

885
01:07:21,770 --> 01:07:22,170
I'm sorry.

886
01:07:22,610 --> 01:07:23,150
It's okay.

887
01:07:24,150 --> 01:07:27,130
If you're unsure if a channel has been straightened, they probably

888
01:07:27,130 --> 01:07:31,590
ask. You can often tell just by looking, but perhaps it has started to reform

889
01:07:31,590 --> 01:07:37,050
meanders and was once straightened. You could check an old map to see, but also if

890
01:07:37,050 --> 01:07:40,890
a river is pressed up against a valley side, it was probably straight in. It's an

891
01:07:40,890 --> 01:07:45,910
municipal area, it's probably straightened. We have affected, I don't know, the

892
01:07:45,910 --> 01:07:49,650
percentage, but probably at least 90% of rivers in America.

893
01:07:50,990 --> 01:07:51,470
Yeah.

894
01:07:52,270 --> 01:07:56,090
Sharp bends are very common when two straight and channels meet, and again, that's something

895
01:07:56,090 --> 01:07:59,010
that the river will try to reform those smooth handers.

896
01:08:00,510 --> 01:08:02,930
So rivers also don't like rapid vertical changes.

897
01:08:03,550 --> 01:08:09,430
Like this slide says, rivers will eventually form a smooth concave profile to minimize changes

898
01:08:09,430 --> 01:08:09,870
in slope.

899
01:08:10,570 --> 01:08:14,610
Obviously, we do see fast vertical changes in nature that would be a waterfall.

900
01:08:14,610 --> 01:08:18,950
So this doesn't mean that rivers are actively trying to eliminate waterfalls.

901
01:08:19,730 --> 01:08:22,910
And this principle is what is dominating the movement of headcuts.

902
01:08:23,470 --> 01:08:27,070
So they move backwards because the river is trying to smooth out the drop.

903
01:08:27,670 --> 01:08:31,910
It obviously can't add sediment to get back up so the only way to smooth the grade out

904
01:08:31,910 --> 01:08:33,070
is to remove this sediment.

905
01:08:33,970 --> 01:08:39,470
So if we use great control structures to deal with the headcut and stop it from moving, it's

906
01:08:39,470 --> 01:08:43,890
important to make sure that the materials are the appropriate size because the river will

907
01:08:43,890 --> 01:08:48,230
not stop trying to remove a head cut just because it's been armored. It's just going to take a larger

908
01:08:48,230 --> 01:08:52,810
flood to make the changes. So the materials need to be large enough to withstand the decent flood.

909
01:08:54,710 --> 01:08:59,970
Rivers also don't like dramatic changes in width. A constriction will result in dynamic changes

910
01:08:59,970 --> 01:09:05,130
on the other side and a great natural example of this is a channel being constricted by bedrock

911
01:09:05,130 --> 01:09:10,550
on both sides that eventually opens up into a wide oluvial fan on the other side of the bedrock.

912
01:09:13,230 --> 01:09:20,090
Constricted channels move faster, so think about how much faster water shoots out of a hose when you put your thumb over it.

913
01:09:20,430 --> 01:09:25,610
This is the same thing. Moving quickly means the stream will pick up sediment without being able to drop it.

914
01:09:26,130 --> 01:09:32,390
So on the other side of the constriction, the river will naturally slow and drop sediment because it's always trying to reach equilibrium.

915
01:09:33,710 --> 01:09:36,530
Another common constriction is an undersized culvert.

916
01:09:36,530 --> 01:09:41,550
For other than maintaining a high speed and having a sudden slowdown, the water already

917
01:09:41,550 --> 01:09:45,950
has somewhere else to go, but it can't fit into the culvert all it wants.

918
01:09:46,610 --> 01:09:52,190
So the slowdown on the upstream side will impact the culvert, oops, on the downstream side.

919
01:09:52,790 --> 01:09:57,050
And I'll talk about that a little bit more later, but just know that culvert is going

920
01:09:57,050 --> 01:10:01,130
to have an impact on river behavior because it's a fast change, any culvert.

921
01:10:01,890 --> 01:10:07,210
The fourth principle is that equilibrium can be maintained while the channel migrates

922
01:10:07,210 --> 01:10:10,670
laterally, or a stable stream is not a static stream.

923
01:10:11,070 --> 01:10:14,330
This is a big one that we as humans have a really hard time.

924
01:10:15,610 --> 01:10:19,130
Everything about sediment transport, everything is about sediment transport.

925
01:10:19,650 --> 01:10:23,430
So a stream can still be an equilibrium even as it's moving back and forth.

926
01:10:23,970 --> 01:10:27,890
The dimensions of a stream in equilibrium will not change as it moves.

927
01:10:28,770 --> 01:10:35,450
So here's a cool graphic I found to really illustrate this principle, which is almost 30 years

928
01:10:35,450 --> 01:10:39,790
of movement, and there is a single bank on this river that doesn't need it, especially

929
01:10:39,790 --> 01:10:43,730
look at that tributary off to the left, it completely changes its course.

930
01:10:44,630 --> 01:10:47,650
Humans expect rivers to stay right where we want them.

931
01:10:48,150 --> 01:10:52,790
That bank was right there when I was a kid, it's just over there as an adult, but we're really

932
01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:57,690
setting ourselves up for failure when we think that way, because if the flood is big enough

933
01:10:57,690 --> 01:11:02,250
the river will always win. They need space to move louder really. That's what a healthy river does.

934
01:11:03,790 --> 01:11:08,150
The last principle states that there's continuity and sediment transport from the headwaters

935
01:11:08,150 --> 01:11:13,310
to the map. Basically, off-loading water carry sediment, so sediment is always moving through the

936
01:11:13,310 --> 01:11:19,410
river system. Okay, so off-loading water carry sediment, and that sediment is in theory,

937
01:11:19,890 --> 01:11:25,470
equally distributed throughout. So that would mean that at a given point of high in the headwaters,

938
01:11:25,470 --> 01:11:30,550
a stream will be carrying the same amount of sediment as a point down by the solid, for example.

939
01:11:31,310 --> 01:11:35,690
The sediment particles are now the same, but the volume of the particles is the same,

940
01:11:35,870 --> 01:11:41,470
if the reversing equilibrium. As with equilibrium, there are also principles of sediment transport.

941
01:11:42,170 --> 01:11:47,970
So capacity is the amount of sediment a stream can transport and load is the amount of sediment

942
01:11:47,970 --> 01:11:53,930
being transported at any given time. Load can be suspended load, which is like when a creek turns

943
01:11:53,930 --> 01:12:00,450
brown during the flood. The dissolve load, which is like the salt minerals and the bed load,

944
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:05,550
which is what's being moved along the bottom of the stream. So if capacity is greater than

945
01:12:05,550 --> 01:12:11,670
load, there's erosion. If capacity is less than load, there's deposition. If they're equal,

946
01:12:12,030 --> 01:12:17,990
the stream is in equilibrium. So now we'll get into the variables controlling capacity and we'll

947
01:12:17,990 --> 01:12:23,510
use velocity in the proxy for capacity. So the first variable is slope. So a steeper slope means

948
01:12:23,510 --> 01:12:28,650
the river can carry more sediment with the same amount of discharge. That extra sediment

949
01:12:28,650 --> 01:12:34,050
is going to come from the channel bed. These changes in slope can be almost unnoticeable

950
01:12:34,050 --> 01:12:39,690
to us, but result in major channel adjustments. In an urban environment, the only way to

951
01:12:39,690 --> 01:12:44,830
go is usually down. So if there's more discharge because of, say, increased impervious cover,

952
01:12:45,370 --> 01:12:49,270
that river is going to be able to carry more sediment, so it will erode the channel bed.

953
01:12:50,170 --> 01:12:56,750
The end result of this is a decreased slope that can handle the increased discharge without eroding the bed.

954
01:12:57,370 --> 01:13:05,350
So if you have a down cut system and you decide to remedy it by bringing it back up and just filling it full of sediments with even again,

955
01:13:05,730 --> 01:13:10,150
you just increase the slope which gives the river more capacity to carry the sediment away again.

956
01:13:12,220 --> 01:13:19,680
The next variable is area, which specifically means the area of the channel that water is flowing over which could include the floodplain.

957
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:26,560
So let's go back to the undersized culbert. When the water slows down upstream of the culbert, what is he going to do?

958
01:13:27,380 --> 01:13:30,500
He will drop its sediment because there's no energy to keep it moving.

959
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:36,020
But the water that does make it through the culbert will be moving quickly because of that hose analogy.

960
01:13:36,820 --> 01:13:40,380
So constrictions decrease area and increase speed.

961
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:45,520
When it comes out the other side, the water will be moving fast and it will be sediment hungry

962
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:48,960
from all of the sediment dropped upstream, so what will it do?

963
01:13:49,740 --> 01:13:52,660
It will erode the other side to make up for that lost sediment.

964
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:57,360
Discharge or how much water is in the system affects capacity

965
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,880
because obviously more water can carry more sediment.

966
01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:04,500
I mentioned this a second ago, but this is why a big flood will cause a lot of erosion.

967
01:14:05,060 --> 01:14:07,020
As the channel gets deeper, the slope decreases,

968
01:14:07,540 --> 01:14:10,340
and as the channel gets wider, the area increases,

969
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,160
which both reduce the capacity to carry sediment.

970
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,780
So it ends up working its way back to the way it was before the flood.

971
01:14:17,420 --> 01:14:21,700
For longer-term discharge increases like with urbanization, the entire bank full channel

972
01:14:21,700 --> 01:14:23,820
may increase in size to accommodate.

973
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:28,080
Oops, I didn't have that, okay, I thought I forgot all of them.

974
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:33,660
The last variable, roughness is the most important because it affects capacity more than slope

975
01:14:33,660 --> 01:14:35,160
or stream size changes.

976
01:14:35,940 --> 01:14:39,720
Roughness is the stuff that is in the stream slowing the water down.

977
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:44,060
The idea of roughness is the whole point behind beavering analogs, right?

978
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:48,900
Trying to slow the flow. Another thing to note is that a wide shallow channel has

979
01:14:48,900 --> 01:14:54,260
more roughness than a deep narrow channel. And that all works because of roughness.

980
01:14:59,320 --> 01:14:59,980
So why does...

981
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:17,400
And so much time talking about the principles of equilibrium. Understanding these principles is key for making good restoration projects. So you can establish the underlying causes of the problems, you can identify problem areas, and you can predict how the river will respond to proposed activities before you put them.

982
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:23,680
Let me know if you want me to continue.

983
01:15:40,860 --> 01:15:46,040
So this is where we talk about the different ways you can classify rivers and how those

984
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,960
classifications can be helpful with choosing restoration projects.

985
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:55,920
And this one is a little bit interactive, but I have a question for you.

986
01:15:57,380 --> 01:16:02,720
Okay, so I want to start with the caveat that every single river and stream is unique to its own circumstances.

987
01:16:03,300 --> 01:16:08,220
But there are patterns that emerge that we can use to make predictions about stream behavior.

988
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:14,400
But in seven ways that we classify streams, but I'm only going to talk about six of them, because the other one is super technical

989
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,880
and only useful if you take a bunch of expensive classes.

990
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:22,980
The first type of classification is whether the bank material is alluvial or non-illuvial.

991
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:28,660
So alluvial material is material deposited by the river itself, meaning the river can

992
01:16:28,660 --> 01:16:29,500
move freely.

993
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:36,180
Non-illuvial material is material that is constrifting the river in some way, like bedrock or ripwrap.

994
01:16:36,660 --> 01:16:42,380
It's important to note that these classifications are not necessarily for the entire river or

995
01:16:42,380 --> 01:16:45,580
the entire reach and a single bank can be alluvial or not.

996
01:16:46,140 --> 01:16:50,700
So which of these four banks granted one of them is hard to see, but which of these have a

997
01:16:50,700 --> 01:16:53,300
aluminum material in which I'm not a aluminum kiln.

998
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:56,280
Right.

999
01:17:01,180 --> 01:17:02,440
Yes, all those signs.

1000
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,560
Are there any non-illuvial banks?

1001
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,180
There's on the wall on the left that sediment drop in the trees.

1002
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:12,120
Yes, great job.

1003
01:17:13,260 --> 01:17:19,260
I mean, this whole valley is that way because everything in the valley at one point was either, was put there by the river.

1004
01:17:19,260 --> 01:17:22,200
you know, you go down through the fields and the bottoms and

1005
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,380
the gravel and you go out of the rock.

1006
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:28,920
Yeah, open up after another.

1007
01:17:29,660 --> 01:17:29,780
Yeah.

1008
01:17:29,900 --> 01:17:32,140
The whole valley is that way.

1009
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:37,020
So everything we farm is just what the river put there over the years.

1010
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:38,800
I got a lot of stuff out there.

1011
01:17:39,780 --> 01:17:44,620
The example of how a river happened and put in hard line.

1012
01:17:44,980 --> 01:17:46,840
The whole city is hard lined all the way through.

1013
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:56,180
going to dumps into ours and it's amazing. It's crazy how much sediment is in there and how

1014
01:17:56,180 --> 01:18:02,140
the river moves on a continuous basis. It's hard to keep up going where it's supposed to.

1015
01:18:02,540 --> 01:18:16,640
I guess I could dig it out and sell the gravel, but. Because it's carrying so much material in the

1016
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:21,720
they'll start cutting around one side and take all the sediment out and build some

1017
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,740
things to you guys.

1018
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,560
I mean it's just the way it works.

1019
01:18:30,060 --> 01:18:31,260
Okay number two is

1020
01:18:31,260 --> 01:18:37,220
landscape elements so those are things like in the picture here, alluvial fans are

1021
01:18:37,220 --> 01:18:40,480
the sediment that drops out of a stream after a construction just like I didn't

1022
01:18:40,480 --> 01:18:45,740
say but usually better our construction and I couldn't find valley would be

1023
01:18:45,740 --> 01:18:49,920
considered a landscape element, as long as the stream's floodplain, any dams or

1024
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:54,940
terraces, etc. So which landscape elements can you see here near the severe?

1025
01:19:06,930 --> 01:19:13,850
There's a border there. So where's that probably? The dam. That's going to affect the

1026
01:19:13,850 --> 01:19:14,490
river for sure.

1027
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,900
Definitely going to constrict it just to be wee bit,

1028
01:19:23,820 --> 01:19:24,520
and the water is

1029
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:29,100
getting around fast after it comes out of the dam. We're just doing heroes.

1030
01:19:35,060 --> 01:19:44,560
I have a bit about dance also, what about this semi-circle, what do you think that is?

1031
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,600
The ears of erosion that's washed out of that canyon.

1032
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:54,300
You're like, right there, what do you want me to say?

1033
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:57,340
The technical term will come.

1034
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,140
That's a really good example of it and we'll be okay.

1035
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:09,760
So yeah, all the constrictions on this bedrock and then it just builds out into the blood plane.

1036
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:17,920
And then the floodplain itself is a landscape element and then also had the confined valley.

1037
01:20:20,390 --> 01:20:25,710
Okay, Strawler's stream ordering is the idea where the smallest tributaries are first order streams.

1038
01:20:26,450 --> 01:20:29,490
And then the two streams of the same order come together, get a higher number.

1039
01:20:29,990 --> 01:20:33,470
So two first order streams join form, a second order stream.

1040
01:20:34,350 --> 01:20:37,290
The river, river would be like a third and fourth order stream.

1041
01:20:38,970 --> 01:20:41,310
Okay, so plain form patterns.

1042
01:20:41,950 --> 01:20:45,670
Strings will form these patterns based on the circumstances around them.

1043
01:20:46,170 --> 01:20:49,310
So the same stream may take all of these forms at different points.

1044
01:20:49,970 --> 01:20:54,130
If you see a particular plain form pattern, there are some assumptions that you can make

1045
01:20:54,130 --> 01:20:58,270
about that part of the stream and any hazards that you may face.

1046
01:20:58,790 --> 01:21:03,950
So a braided channel will be steep and when I say steep, that's like 1 to 2 percent slope.

1047
01:21:04,290 --> 01:21:05,690
So not steep to us, but steep to river.

1048
01:21:05,690 --> 01:21:10,810
and they also have high sediment loads. They're very dynamic and they tend to move around

1049
01:21:10,810 --> 01:21:15,730
with each flood. So erosion is a major issue for any infrastructure around the Brated Channel.

1050
01:21:16,850 --> 01:21:21,930
A beandering plan form will be found on a shower slope because it's the way to keep sediment moving

1051
01:21:21,930 --> 01:21:27,370
because the slope is shallow. So like when you're moving slowly on a bike or a skateboard and then you

1052
01:21:27,370 --> 01:21:33,010
like rock side to side to pick up speed, this is intense. So meandering streams tend to have more

1053
01:21:33,010 --> 01:21:37,710
issues with inundation or flooding, but there is always some erosion on the outside

1054
01:21:37,710 --> 01:21:42,250
bends, it's just typically concentrated to one place rather than moving around as

1055
01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:47,170
quickly as a braided channel. So which plant form fits the stream on the left?

1056
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:55,020
Out of the two I mentioned, the injury. Yeah, and what about the one on the right?

1057
01:22:01,790 --> 01:22:06,890
It's a form of braiding, right? But it's not quite braiding, it was the one to the right of it.

1058
01:22:06,890 --> 01:22:10,030
Yeah, braiding or an asthmosing, they're pretty similar.

1059
01:22:10,730 --> 01:22:13,790
So this is a proloh river, and that's East Canyon Creek.

1060
01:22:16,100 --> 01:22:18,940
Okay, so the next one is channel reach morphology.

1061
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:23,840
This one is kind of eye opening for me in the sense that I didn't really realize that there

1062
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:25,820
was a reason that rivers lived the way they do.

1063
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:32,300
So the five types of channel morphology are cascade, step pool, plainbed, pool ripple, and

1064
01:22:32,300 --> 01:22:32,840
doom ripple.

1065
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,580
And in that order, they're going from highest up in the watershed to the lowest.

1066
01:22:36,580 --> 01:22:41,580
so cascade will have large boulders that cannot be moved and will stick out even

1067
01:22:41,580 --> 01:22:46,920
during the flood. Banks are pretty not alluvial at this point. Step pool is where

1068
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,560
the rocks are so kind of large but they can be moved and they are moved by the

1069
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:55,340
river in two steps and pools. Plain bed morphology will have rocks and boulders

1070
01:22:55,340 --> 01:22:59,120
but those will be completely covered during the flood and it'll typically occur

1071
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:03,800
on a shallower slip than the other two. Pool ripple is a morphology that

1072
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:08,200
alternate between fast-moving ripples and slow-moving pools. This morphology is

1073
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,160
really good for cold water fish because they use both the pools and the

1074
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:15,940
ripples for different activities like activities. And then dew ripple will be

1075
01:23:15,940 --> 01:23:21,260
slow-moving water that looks like underneath the sand looks like ripples of a

1076
01:23:31,480 --> 01:23:36,360
So channel morphology is a generally slope or terrain dependent, like I mentioned the

1077
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:40,900
order I brought them up and the order across the top of this graph is going from steep

1078
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:42,920
riches, shallower slopes from left to right.

1079
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:47,600
So I wanted to go over this graph because it ties in really well with the equilibrium part

1080
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:48,080
of the talk.

1081
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:52,680
So remember that a river's goal, so to speak, is to transport sediment.

1082
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:56,400
So at a steep slope, there isn't an issue with sediment transport.

1083
01:23:56,860 --> 01:24:01,520
In fact, the river is trying to reduce sediment transport to make up for that steep slope.

1084
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,100
So that's why we see cascade and step pool morphologies.

1085
01:24:05,620 --> 01:24:10,760
Those boulders and large rocks are the roughness that keep the water from moving too fast

1086
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,100
and carrying too much sediment away.

1087
01:24:13,780 --> 01:24:17,860
you can see on the graph that transport capacity is very high and the sediment

1088
01:24:17,860 --> 01:24:23,640
supply is very low. As the sediment supply increases, rivers smooth out into

1089
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,840
the pool ripple or dune ripple morphologies to be able to continue to move

1090
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:32,240
this sediment. That's why these morphologies don't have as many rocks. It doesn't

1091
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,880
need roughness to limit sediment transport. This slope is what's limiting

1092
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:40,460
sediment transport. So really important thing to bring up here is that there are

1093
01:24:40,460 --> 01:24:45,680
reasons that channel morphologies occur in different places. So you can't impose a step pool

1094
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:51,160
morphology with like weirs or rock veins on a low gradient stream because that stream is slow

1095
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:56,400
and be andering and it will not be funneled through the center as intended. The flow will probably be

1096
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,800
deflected by the vein and sent into the bank causing more erosion.

1097
01:25:02,210 --> 01:25:04,970
So the last type is using channel

1098
01:25:04,970 --> 01:25:09,810
the channel evolution model to classify a stream. So I wanted to give you a good picture of that model.

1099
01:25:09,810 --> 01:25:15,570
Basically, we have a channel, maybe that 13 CFS channel that I mentioned earlier, and if

1100
01:25:15,570 --> 01:25:20,250
we have a flood or some kind of major disturbance like straightening, the stream will first

1101
01:25:20,250 --> 01:25:21,390
incise downward.

1102
01:25:22,010 --> 01:25:26,810
Eventually, this incise channel will be completely disconnected from the floodplain, where

1103
01:25:26,810 --> 01:25:29,790
a carrying vegetation will die because there won't be enough moisture.

1104
01:25:30,470 --> 01:25:32,850
The lack of vegetation will create weak banks.

1105
01:25:33,530 --> 01:25:38,270
With more floods, those will fall in, and the stream will then become wider, and it will continue

1106
01:25:38,270 --> 01:25:43,810
to widen as long as there is a flood big enough to warrant it. However, we will eventually reach

1107
01:25:43,810 --> 01:25:48,710
the point where we get a massive flood that occurs very infrequently and without constant pressure

1108
01:25:48,710 --> 01:25:53,610
to keep the banks that wide, we're preparing a vegetation move back into this widened channel

1109
01:25:53,610 --> 01:26:00,470
because it isn't wet all the time anymore and rebuild to be a sediment deposition. A new channel will

1110
01:26:00,470 --> 01:26:03,670
form that matches the original channel but at a lower elevation.

1111
01:26:06,300 --> 01:26:08,760
You know the channel like through us

1112
01:26:09,940 --> 01:26:15,520
It's so wide from like the floods and like now it's been so long since we've had a lot of water

1113
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:20,500
That they're growing in so when you do which we will have high water

1114
01:26:20,500 --> 01:26:25,100
Then the channel was like full of

1115
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:35,680
Floods yeah, I mean, but it's gonna find the path of least resistance if all this stuff that's growing in there

1116
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:57,800
It's not the river no more and it deposits, you know, that's why we have gravel spots out in our fields and stuff. I mean, if you left it alone, it would fill this channel up and move right over. But we don't let it do that anymore.

1117
01:26:58,160 --> 01:26:58,280
Yeah.

1118
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:06,500
You know, we make it stay where it's supposed to be, or where do you want it to be?

1119
01:27:07,020 --> 01:27:09,280
But it doesn't necessarily work all the time.

1120
01:27:09,420 --> 01:27:13,280
No, no, you get it flooded like in, you know, way three in that.

1121
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:15,640
You just, it does whatever it wants.

1122
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:17,480
Yeah, when you can't find a river.

1123
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,020
Because it's all three feet water.

1124
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:25,180
But I mean, the channel, like down through us, I mean, it's kind of big channel over the years.

1125
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:31,020
But it's, you know, like, yeah, it's got trees growing, big trees growing in it now.

1126
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:31,580
Back in it.

1127
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:37,040
And it either, you know, takes them out and then it goes down and plugs things up.

1128
01:27:37,860 --> 01:27:38,860
Did they go through this?

1129
01:27:40,620 --> 01:27:44,380
You've been watching the stream channel evolution model here in my life.

1130
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:44,960
Yeah.

1131
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,080
And it might hit his whole life.

1132
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:48,280
Yeah.

1133
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:49,160
We tried it.

1134
01:27:49,220 --> 01:27:50,500
We tried to control it.

1135
01:27:50,540 --> 01:27:53,980
But if you could control it when you get a flood like that.

1136
01:27:53,980 --> 01:28:00,640
nature is okay to keep things interesting most of these rules don't apply to

1137
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,420
highly managed rivers and that's because of the nature of what they are

1138
01:28:04,420 --> 01:28:07,800
heavily managed rivers can't act naturally because the environment is no

1139
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:12,460
longer natural so what's different we call systems like these those that are

1140
01:28:12,460 --> 01:28:18,240
damned tailwater systems tailwater systems so prime example of this would be the

1141
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:23,140
river the weaver river between rock port and echo and they're called tailwater

1142
01:28:23,140 --> 01:28:28,680
systems because they essentially leave the tail water of the dam. So what do we know about what

1143
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:35,360
happens at the upstream end of a dam? It fills a sediment. But what kind of dams do we have around here?

1144
01:28:37,060 --> 01:28:44,380
I've learned from the summit C.D. that the dams actually spill over and they have water coming out

1145
01:28:44,380 --> 01:28:46,620
underneath. I thought they were just spill over dams.

1146
01:28:49,100 --> 01:28:51,280
So if we're talking about hypothetically where

1147
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:55,280
water goes over the spillway. Do you think that water at the top of the reservoir has

1148
01:28:55,280 --> 01:29:00,180
much sediment in it? Probably not. So what would we expect to happen on the other side

1149
01:29:00,180 --> 01:29:05,860
of the dam? We would expect scour. And that probably was scour of smaller sediment at one

1150
01:29:05,860 --> 01:29:11,160
point in time, but it's long gone now because the downstream end of the dams are heavily

1151
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:15,040
honored and they'll never receive enough water to move boulders that day because they're

1152
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:20,300
completely managed. So the weaver in this reaches essentially only being fed sediment by its

1153
01:29:20,300 --> 01:29:26,940
tributaries rather than the natural flow of the river itself. So what else is

1154
01:29:26,940 --> 01:29:31,840
different? Timing of water. So instead of spring runoff we get irrigation runoff,

1155
01:29:32,020 --> 01:29:34,920
not saying that's good or bad but it's different than what's natural.

1156
01:29:36,060 --> 01:29:43,220
But the benefit of being managed is if you have the right water manager, it should have

1157
01:29:43,220 --> 01:29:47,760
consistent water throughout the year. Another minor thing is that the spillway

1158
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:52,040
dams are spilling over the warmest water so that can potentially contribute to

1159
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,380
temperature impairments, low dams.

1160
01:29:55,380 --> 01:29:59,380
Hey, the last thing that even the water...

1161
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:16,680
Coming out of the bottom of the dam, I mean, would not have the same sediment in it as if it was just flowing through. I mean, it's going to drop sediment. I guess it really depends on how much they fluctuate it up and down. But it's going to drop sediment. Let's hear what you're talking about. Yeah.

1162
01:30:19,780 --> 01:30:29,380
Well, most of the sediment would look at echo reservoir. The sediment all stays at the top of the reservoir because as soon as it hits the water, the water slows down. Yeah.

1163
01:30:29,380 --> 01:30:31,400
And so it drops it. It's all up there. There's no

1164
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,900
Sediment doesn't move halfway down the brisket or I bet that I

1165
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:38,320
Bet that hasn't the bottom of halfway down

1166
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:45,660
I bet that hasn't changed since they put the damn yeah, but the tops have sure has need to be dredge

1167
01:30:46,540 --> 01:30:47,840
You want that job

1168
01:30:51,440 --> 01:30:55,520
Just drain it like you're gonna be playing you huh. Yeah, it's gonna be great

1169
01:31:01,460 --> 01:31:05,320
Okay, this is the last slide before part three.

1170
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:13,340
So I just wanted to bring up these five key ideas again as my advisor in grad school told

1171
01:31:13,340 --> 01:31:14,320
me anything important.

1172
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,260
He said to put on my bathroom here and look at it every single day.

1173
01:31:17,820 --> 01:31:19,420
So why don't you put these on your bathroom here?

1174
01:31:21,220 --> 01:31:26,660
Everyone, look at the river in broad scale, not just what's right in front of you if you're

1175
01:31:26,660 --> 01:31:27,200
standing there.

1176
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:32,220
Rivers don't life fast changes. They will eliminate them. Off-loan water carries

1177
01:31:32,220 --> 01:31:37,260
sediment. Stability does not equal static-ness and don't forget about

1178
01:31:37,260 --> 01:31:37,880
ripeness.

1179
01:31:39,930 --> 01:31:40,950
That concludes part two.

1180
01:31:42,330 --> 01:31:42,750
Can

1181
01:31:48,380 --> 01:31:49,940
we do part three and four next week?

1182
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:50,260
Yeah.

1183
01:31:50,420 --> 01:31:50,960
Our next one.

1184
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:51,920
Next week?

1185
01:31:52,260 --> 01:31:52,800
I love it.

1186
01:31:53,580 --> 01:31:53,740
I love it.

1187
01:31:53,740 --> 01:31:54,120
I love it.

1188
01:31:54,140 --> 01:31:54,900
I love it.

1189
01:31:55,300 --> 01:31:55,380
I love it.

1190
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:55,840
I love it.

1191
01:32:00,220 --> 01:32:03,560
Are you okay if we do the next part three and four next?

1192
01:32:06,860 --> 01:32:12,040
You know, that's how Kathy got here. She just started coming to a few meetings and pretty

1193
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:13,300
soon we just put her out.

1194
01:32:16,100 --> 01:32:16,620
Okay,

1195
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:20,860
thank you. You're welcome.

1196
01:32:24,710 --> 01:32:26,330
No Maggie, nothing from Maggie.

1197
01:32:27,590 --> 01:32:35,010
You have anything to do. I did for you one thing. This is quick. Just new faces and you

1198
01:32:35,010 --> 01:32:45,450
deaf. They did a little swap a room so Tony is no longer the Ag Water Optimization Program Manager

1199
01:32:45,450 --> 01:32:52,590
and Katie is no longer IDIP. It just switched them. Tony's back to Silver Health. Katie is now

1200
01:32:52,590 --> 01:32:53,810
Oh, water optimization.

1201
01:32:54,710 --> 01:32:58,030
So, that brings me, do you know what?

1202
01:32:59,650 --> 01:33:01,030
You do know.

1203
01:33:02,610 --> 01:33:04,690
You don't want to tell us.

1204
01:33:07,010 --> 01:33:08,990
Trades, you just so you know,

1205
01:33:09,290 --> 01:33:10,650
this meeting is being recorded.

1206
01:33:15,670 --> 01:33:19,450
So, Brian's still where he's at.

1207
01:33:19,990 --> 01:33:20,990
Brian's still where he's at.

1208
01:33:21,550 --> 01:33:27,730
have they have you heard they heard it was going to hire some more yes water off so they got the

1209
01:33:27,730 --> 01:33:32,630
higher with they're hiring another planner and treemont and then another planner in Taylor's

1210
01:33:32,630 --> 01:33:37,990
bill so the Taylor's bill one will cover a lot of our area and then the treemont will just help in

1211
01:33:38,590 --> 01:33:42,950
tree but they haven't they haven't done that I think they've extended the positions so

1212
01:33:43,790 --> 01:33:49,130
Brian talked to me yesterday and said hopefully within the next week or two they'll be on board

1213
01:33:49,130 --> 01:33:51,450
with a full blow, so no,

1214
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:54,120
no.

1215
01:33:55,500 --> 01:33:57,540
You're not allowed to do a worst job for sure.

1216
01:33:58,480 --> 01:34:01,440
That one is like a, I think it's two years,

1217
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:02,600
that one's only for two years.

1218
01:34:02,620 --> 01:34:04,860
Well that's the thing is, they're trying to make

1219
01:34:04,860 --> 01:34:07,580
the program in them, but right now yeah,

1220
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,900
it's a great year of job, you guarantee it wouldn't do it.

1221
01:34:10,940 --> 01:34:13,160
Yeah, two year of thing.

1222
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:14,720
I'd be sleeping on the couch.

1223
01:34:17,220 --> 01:34:20,390
Do you have anything?

1224
01:34:21,330 --> 01:34:25,850
From me, I guess just a quick update. I am co-presenting tomorrow, I'm giving a presentation

1225
01:34:25,850 --> 01:34:31,930
with the Weaver Watershed Council down in Salt Lake, but we are co-presenting on some

1226
01:34:31,930 --> 01:34:36,070
issues and challenges that we face in the Weaver River Watershed. If you're interested

1227
01:34:36,070 --> 01:34:41,110
in that, I have a link and there's like a live stream through YouTube. So, if you're interested,

1228
01:34:41,330 --> 01:34:46,150
let me know. It's from one to three tomorrow. Other than that, we're working on our website

1229
01:34:46,150 --> 01:34:52,830
I hope to have that release soon and with that some new tools and resources that I hope to share with you guys

1230
01:34:52,830 --> 01:34:57,850
But that'll be the future and thank you guys for having me. Let me sit in and listen and

1231
01:35:00,050 --> 01:35:09,070
Absolutely is the is so is your presentation to the whole the statewide watersheds to the annual so everybody is going to be there all

1232
01:35:09,070 --> 01:35:15,310
Watershed Council. Yeah, thank you for having that. Yeah, it's to the State Watershed Council. Okay. You don't have a lot of years

1233
01:35:16,170 --> 01:35:20,370
That's yeah, I don't know what to expect is my first first time, but it sounds like

1234
01:35:22,030 --> 01:35:26,090
Yeah, we've been dealing with we were basing, you know, they

1235
01:35:28,010 --> 01:35:31,330
That unnatural thing, you know, they run all that water down the canal

1236
01:35:32,070 --> 01:35:36,270
And then they've had so much trouble with moss this year that then they

1237
01:35:36,830 --> 01:35:41,210
They have to dump the canal down the river so it goes from no flow to

1238
01:35:41,810 --> 01:35:42,650
Extreme right

1239
01:35:42,650 --> 01:35:51,790
And you know they've been treated, they've treated the canal twice already this year, normally they only do it once, and it's like crazy.

1240
01:35:52,510 --> 01:35:58,030
I mean, especially us because we're like right below the diversion there, so we have no water.

1241
01:35:58,490 --> 01:36:01,290
And then all of a sudden you have...

1242
01:36:01,290 --> 01:36:05,590
Luckily they do call me and say, you're gonna get flooded.

1243
01:36:07,430 --> 01:36:16,530
That just washes the channel out all the moss that's been growing just comes down on everything.

1244
01:36:17,090 --> 01:36:25,410
But they say that this year when they treated the canal the first time it was like a month

1245
01:36:25,410 --> 01:36:31,830
earlier than they did a year ago and the water temperature was 10 degrees warmer than a year

1246
01:36:31,830 --> 01:36:32,070
ago.

1247
01:36:34,050 --> 01:36:41,370
because because they figure no snow melt yeah it don't ever got cold and

1248
01:36:41,370 --> 01:36:46,410
froze the reservoir so the reservoirs never got cold but they've done it twice

1249
01:36:46,410 --> 01:36:50,950
and they figured they're gonna have to do it two more times two more and

1250
01:36:50,950 --> 01:36:56,470
normally they only do it once maybe twice but yeah I'm there all of these

1251
01:36:56,470 --> 01:36:59,890
trained because they can't trick they can't get it down the canal because all the

1252
01:36:59,890 --> 01:37:06,510
wants is just growing in the canal line in the size of the canal and then they they

1253
01:37:06,510 --> 01:37:11,730
treated and they they have to treat it I mean that's going to the treatment plant so

1254
01:37:11,730 --> 01:37:16,990
it's there's only certain chemical and but that's steady yeah I think and I can't

1255
01:37:16,990 --> 01:37:20,970
get into the river back into the river that it all has to go to the treatment plant

1256
01:37:20,970 --> 01:37:27,030
that's why they dump everything in the river so it's quite a deal but yeah

1257
01:37:27,030 --> 01:37:35,670
they're they're they're like bring on the floods the lectures way better not

1258
01:37:35,670 --> 01:37:40,630
enough yeah but that's what they said was ten you know they're deals what

1259
01:37:40,630 --> 01:37:44,770
they're doing is it was ten degrees a month soon but

1260
01:37:44,770 --> 01:37:53,030
But if you can only imagine what the 10th vloggers are going to say, I'm going to get the air

1261
01:37:53,030 --> 01:37:54,710
checked and they're going to be like, not agree with you.

1262
01:37:55,590 --> 01:38:02,430
Well, like my line crit deal, I started the pumps on line crit, which means the crit drop

1263
01:38:02,430 --> 01:38:09,850
down to not sufficient on the 15th of June last year I started them on the 10th of July.

1264
01:38:10,630 --> 01:38:10,890
Wow.

1265
01:38:13,590 --> 01:38:17,570
I mean, now, there's hardly anything coming in there.

1266
01:38:18,290 --> 01:38:21,550
Is the plants still holding enough to do anything?

1267
01:38:21,910 --> 01:38:22,510
A little bit.

1268
01:38:22,870 --> 01:38:27,810
I've been down central Utah and a couple of springs I've been to, they're dry.

1269
01:38:28,610 --> 01:38:29,330
There's nothing there.

1270
01:38:30,090 --> 01:38:32,130
It's bad.

1271
01:38:33,150 --> 01:38:35,510
We actually had three last minute jobs.

1272
01:38:35,750 --> 01:38:40,870
We went down and did fence off springs because the wild horses were very little lives coming

1273
01:38:40,870 --> 01:38:42,790
coming through, they were tromping them to nothing,

1274
01:38:43,270 --> 01:38:44,870
where they were gonna lose all springs.

1275
01:38:45,230 --> 01:38:49,510
We had to go fence them off, same deal, just nothing.

1276
01:38:49,730 --> 01:38:52,110
Not enough flow to even get it away from the spring.

1277
01:38:52,790 --> 01:38:57,330
You know, we had that storm and looked snow on top of the mountains

1278
01:38:57,330 --> 01:39:00,570
but last week, and normally that would bring the crick-up

1279
01:39:00,570 --> 01:39:02,150
a little bit for a day or two.

1280
01:39:02,970 --> 01:39:04,770
And I'd never seen any change.

1281
01:39:05,110 --> 01:39:05,250
Yeah.

1282
01:39:06,030 --> 01:39:10,850
That's just, so dry and all.

1283
01:39:10,850 --> 01:39:12,890
and then it's 95 degrees the next day.

1284
01:39:13,090 --> 01:39:14,190
You know what I'm sorry.

1285
01:39:14,730 --> 01:39:16,050
How's your guys tomatoes doing?

1286
01:39:17,170 --> 01:39:19,230
They're doing good if we put,

1287
01:39:19,230 --> 01:39:20,110
I don't know what we're gonna do

1288
01:39:20,110 --> 01:39:21,110
when we run out of water

1289
01:39:21,110 --> 01:39:23,590
to see how dry farm tomatoes do.

1290
01:39:27,510 --> 01:39:28,250
I don't know.

1291
01:39:29,030 --> 01:39:30,310
See the corn's doing good too.

1292
01:39:30,570 --> 01:39:32,070
It's not too far to start sneaking

1293
01:39:32,070 --> 01:39:33,230
on a little water out of the canal.

1294
01:39:33,550 --> 01:39:38,230
Yeah, it's, it's gonna be, it already is.

1295
01:39:38,270 --> 01:39:39,450
It's gonna be a long something.

1296
01:39:39,450 --> 01:39:45,950
It's going to be a long I said it almost gets to the point you just wish you'd run out of water

1297
01:39:48,690 --> 01:39:50,410
Just to say we're not

1298
01:39:50,930 --> 01:39:55,050
We have to deal with people I mean my phone just rings everybody

1299
01:39:57,590 --> 01:40:01,270
They've got us put up in four turns and on quarter share

1300
01:40:02,230 --> 01:40:06,290
It's like you get three days to watered on

1301
01:40:06,290 --> 01:40:10,470
half the burgeon normally would have or if they were the burgeon normally would have it's

1302
01:40:10,470 --> 01:40:19,110
and we've we've never restricted anything and we're starting to talk about it and you talk about

1303
01:40:19,110 --> 01:40:26,490
crying people yeah and it's like come on man put water in your lawn you might want to eat

1304
01:40:27,270 --> 01:40:32,310
Well, that's, but anyway, anybody have anything else?

1305
01:40:32,670 --> 01:40:37,390
Do we need to have a motion for her to write the checks for the stuff or that I'll take care of?

1306
01:40:37,970 --> 01:40:43,690
Well, I wrote the, I got the one, the spray check.

1307
01:40:43,710 --> 01:40:47,650
The spray, that one was motioned on before, so that one's good.

1308
01:40:49,030 --> 01:40:55,130
Did we need, Emily, I don't know who I have a check in here for the temperature loggers.

1309
01:40:55,130 --> 01:40:58,850
Does it go, do we reimburse Todd for them?

1310
01:40:59,050 --> 01:40:59,850
Does it go to the...

1311
01:40:59,850 --> 01:41:00,750
I'll say your reimburse Todd.

1312
01:41:00,910 --> 01:41:01,110
Okay.

1313
01:41:01,630 --> 01:41:01,830
Okay.

1314
01:41:02,170 --> 01:41:03,390
Then I shall just save that one.

1315
01:41:03,610 --> 01:41:04,490
Did Todd pay you then?

1316
01:41:04,610 --> 01:41:05,350
I mean, if you want to...

1317
01:41:05,890 --> 01:41:06,690
Oh, okay.

1318
01:41:06,970 --> 01:41:07,910
Do you want to give it to me?

1319
01:41:08,130 --> 01:41:08,910
Do you want to do that?

1320
01:41:09,110 --> 01:41:09,250
Okay.

1321
01:41:09,770 --> 01:41:10,390
Let's do that.

1322
01:41:10,470 --> 01:41:11,750
Do you want to do that?

1323
01:41:11,990 --> 01:41:12,590
Let's do that.

1324
01:41:12,590 --> 01:41:14,750
If he's paid for him, just...

1325
01:41:14,750 --> 01:41:15,530
Let's do it.

1326
01:41:15,630 --> 01:41:18,130
Todd, he had an extensive month with the consummation.

1327
01:41:18,350 --> 01:41:18,870
Yes, you're good.

1328
01:41:19,290 --> 01:41:19,650
Yeah.

1329
01:41:19,950 --> 01:41:20,650
You're good.

1330
01:41:22,830 --> 01:41:23,190
Yeah.

1331
01:41:23,190 --> 01:41:25,250
I'm awarded to me as a major.

1332
01:41:26,450 --> 01:41:26,990
Right?

1333
01:41:27,510 --> 01:41:28,010
I know.

1334
01:41:29,390 --> 01:41:29,990
Okay.

1335
01:41:30,250 --> 01:41:31,410
That's the reward points.

1336
01:41:31,950 --> 01:41:32,070
Yeah.

1337
01:41:32,750 --> 01:41:37,350
I forgot your Sarah forms, but it's okay because this is the first of the quarter.

1338
01:41:37,650 --> 01:41:44,290
So I have your money for last quarter and then I'll bring your Sarah forms next month.

1339
01:41:45,330 --> 01:41:45,370
Okay?

1340
01:41:45,750 --> 01:41:53,010
I just want to thank Nikki for, like, she's been cleaning up and dealing with all the

1341
01:41:53,010 --> 01:41:58,130
changes that the state's been making it's it's been rough a lot of the clerks have

1342
01:41:58,130 --> 01:42:03,570
been really struggling and we've been struggling I know Kathy and Jason have

1343
01:42:03,570 --> 01:42:09,350
been struggling but it's it comes well needed if we want more money as well as

1344
01:42:09,350 --> 01:42:15,850
if we did get audited we would not pass so it comes at a good time it's just a lot

1345
01:42:15,850 --> 01:42:21,250
of growing pains so but we're gonna get trained as RCs to kind of minimize

1346
01:42:22,490 --> 01:42:27,550
pass will be between Kathy and Clarks so and they're gonna have little booklets

1347
01:42:27,550 --> 01:42:33,130
what can be reimbursed what can't and so they'll be people trained up I know

1348
01:42:33,130 --> 01:42:39,210
this last five six months was kind of a dumpster fire not for any district not

1349
01:42:39,210 --> 01:42:44,350
for this one but for all the districts so so if you got it all cleaned up Nikki and

1350
01:42:44,950 --> 01:42:46,050
Spick and spam.

1351
01:42:46,670 --> 01:42:47,530
Yeah, thank you.

1352
01:42:47,530 --> 01:42:47,910
Good job.

1353
01:42:48,450 --> 01:42:48,870
Thank you.

1354
01:42:49,050 --> 01:42:49,790
She didn't call for that.

1355
01:42:50,210 --> 01:42:50,650
Yeah.

1356
01:42:51,310 --> 01:42:52,050
Straight pace.

1357
01:42:52,310 --> 01:42:52,670
Yeah.

1358
01:42:52,730 --> 01:42:55,510
Just the last three words for request finalized.

1359
01:42:55,570 --> 01:42:56,130
It's been signed.

1360
01:42:56,630 --> 01:42:59,090
So how many times do you have to turn that in?

1361
01:42:59,590 --> 01:43:00,470
Just twice.

1362
01:43:01,770 --> 01:43:02,650
Just twice.

1363
01:43:02,970 --> 01:43:04,570
And I know.

1364
01:43:04,970 --> 01:43:06,410
I thought it was only going to be one.

1365
01:43:06,550 --> 01:43:09,430
And I was like, holy cow, I'm killing it.

1366
01:43:09,430 --> 01:43:13,170
But last year, she emailed me yesterday?

1367
01:43:14,050 --> 01:43:15,190
Actually, no.

1368
01:43:15,950 --> 01:43:17,870
Actually, I need all of this.

1369
01:43:18,830 --> 01:43:19,410
So yeah.

1370
01:43:22,820 --> 01:43:24,060
Thank you for coming.

1371
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:25,980
You're welcome to come back.

1372
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:29,940
We've tried to meet the same time every month.

1373
01:43:30,740 --> 01:43:33,300
So how did you get on the email list?

1374
01:43:33,980 --> 01:43:34,820
I don't know.

1375
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:36,400
I don't know.

1376
01:43:36,660 --> 01:43:37,760
So the email list?

1377
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:40,940
I mean, is Nikki emailing you?

1378
01:43:40,940 --> 01:43:45,580
I am not. No, it's just a format that comes out from the States. Oh, from the public. No,

1379
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:52,780
Well, someone is getting that actually Kelly. Thank you.

1380
01:43:54,060 --> 01:43:56,860
That was just going out into the house.

1381
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:06,060
Yeah, you must have asked for it somehow. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of how you ended up here.

1382
01:44:06,060 --> 01:44:08,280
I mean, yeah, I'm trying to remember.

1383
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:10,240
You were looking at easements and...

1384
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:12,220
Right, and I looked up...

1385
01:44:12,220 --> 01:44:12,840
I got also.

1386
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:15,020
I had the word conservation easement

1387
01:44:15,020 --> 01:44:16,980
and I pulled up conservation district

1388
01:44:16,980 --> 01:44:19,400
because at least one word was there.

1389
01:44:20,260 --> 01:44:23,060
And I, who was liking on the name of...

1390
01:44:23,980 --> 01:44:24,640
Yeah, it's you.

1391
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:25,800
The woman who used to...

1392
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:25,960
Yeah.

1393
01:44:26,340 --> 01:44:27,000
Sign them all.

1394
01:44:27,140 --> 01:44:28,360
You may not want to sign...

1395
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:29,380
Well, you can double sign yours,

1396
01:44:29,580 --> 01:44:30,640
because I have Jason signed that.

1397
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:30,940
Really?

1398
01:44:31,380 --> 01:44:31,980
So, you're good.

1399
01:44:32,140 --> 01:44:33,200
Yeah, I guess, Laura Lee.

1400
01:44:33,220 --> 01:44:33,580
Sign them all.

1401
01:44:35,260 --> 01:44:39,220
Because she didn't stay, she was like there for a year and then she left, right?

1402
01:44:40,260 --> 01:44:43,080
No, Laura Lee was there longer than that.

1403
01:44:43,700 --> 01:44:45,540
Who came with you in Colorado?

1404
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:46,420
Brian.

1405
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,880
But there was somebody, there was a gal.

1406
01:44:50,980 --> 01:44:52,640
It was before Brian.

1407
01:44:52,860 --> 01:44:57,800
She actually emailed me once on a completely different email.

1408
01:44:58,500 --> 01:44:58,600
That's right.

1409
01:44:58,600 --> 01:44:59,160
if we're right.

1410
01:44:59,160 --> 01:44:59,860
It wasn't as a ratio.

1411
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:09,940
There was somebody in between. Just for like a year. I know what remembers her. I bet she did a good job.

1412
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:10,320
No.

1413
01:45:13,660 --> 01:45:23,060
I asked you if you was leaving. I thought you were giving the parking. We're, we're hitting you. You do. It's getting

1414
01:45:23,060 --> 01:45:24,840
You can't have a train, you can't even know.

1415
01:45:25,100 --> 01:45:25,400
Hmm.

1416
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:26,960
Yeah.

1417
01:45:27,860 --> 01:45:29,820
You want me to sign this black homeless for dog?

1418
01:45:30,940 --> 01:45:32,700
I'll just save those for next meeting.

1419
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:34,080
So don't worry about me.

1420
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:34,740
I'll be right in there.

1421
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:35,360
She is.

1422
01:45:35,500 --> 01:45:36,500
I'm actually there's a few.
