The 'Board would like to point out some of their concerns and their choice of alternative sites. i I I- Admin. IP.R. H.R.' csIPIO¢ First of all, we want to point out that prime a~ lands affected in this project range from no acres for alternative fA to about 6 acres for alternative #3a. Any alternative which removes prime ag land from zrc- duction, should be looked at from the standpoint of less food or other essentials being awlilable for consumption in the future. Or, if the production from that lost land can be replaced by production from other farm]and that is not ~rime land, the production v~il coz~ us more ~n other finite resources, such as, energy o_nd soil erosion. Wc azree the acreage of prime land involved in any of the ~rooosed rcu~es is not large. But, we do not believe the total future imnzct of all ~he little ~rojects in this county can be ignored any longer. Each projez~ must reduce its effect on loss of prime ag lands to the abso!u~e if we are ever going to appreciably slow the loss of our moa~ nro~uctive lane to ~roJects like this which will .remove this land from RQtJ~[~-~ ~oreseea5le future.
