Specifications include, but are not limited to:. Nevada Division of State Parks intends to permit grazing and the growing of crops on portions of the Carson River Ranch Property. Currently, there are three sections of the ranch properties (DePaoli, Ghiglia and Amerongen) that have been established for the purposes stated above. The Ghiglia and Amerongen sections will be divided into 5 smaller subsections or pastures. In those sections a perimeter fence will be installed along the Carson River approximately 50 yards from the high water mark from Scout Camp to the Hercules Access. Designated stock water areas will be incorporated for lessee’s use throughout the year. This fence will prevent to some degree the impacts of cattle to an area that has been determined as a low impact use area (sensitive area). The DePaoli section will be divided into pastures A – O. . The DePaoli section includes the portion of the ranch property located west of the highway 95A, And upstream to approximately 300 yards before the diversion dam at the BLM boundary. This section includes property both North and South of the Carson River. This section is bounded on the north by the Fort Churchill Road and on the south by the fence line bordering BLM owned lands. The DePaoli section totals 1,014 acres of which approximately 1,004 are included in the lease. The Orchard Area west of Buckland Station section (L) is not included in the lease, this area has been developed into a Day Use Area. Stocking rates on this section are 75 – 100 cows or pairs from May through September for a total of 450 to 600 AUM’s per season. This assumes an 80% (normal) water year and will be increased or decreased accordingly. Upland and riparian areas should be fed off during the first month (May) with prescribed grazing practices. Several upland areas are not currently being fed at any level, the water year will determine duration and stocking rates. The prescribed grazing will occur at locations that are mutually agreed upon by the lessor and lessee.
