<br />PROPOSED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> <br />TABLE 10 <br />AREAS UNSUITABLE FOR SITING <br />MAJOR RIGHTS-OF-WAY <br /> <br /> Percentage of <br />Reason I Area Acreage Resource Area 2 <br />Wilderness Diamond Breaks 36,240 3 <br /> Cross MouDtain 14,081 I <br />Research Natural Limestone Ridge 1,350 <br />Areas <br />Area of Critical Irish Canyon 11,680 <br />Environmenlal <br />Concern <br /> TOTAL 63,351 5 <br /> <br />I Valid existing rights would be respected. <br />2 1,300,000 acres <br /> <br />principles of ,multiple use and sustained yield would be <br />maintained in each priority-use area. <br /> <br />All priority-use areas would be open to coal exploration, <br />subject to applicable laws and regulations, as long as it did <br />not conflict with the priority use, Stipulations would be <br />added to coal exploration licenses within any priority-use <br />area to protect the priority use, <br /> <br />Compatible uses are defined below for each priority-use <br />area; incompatible uses, which are excluded, are minimal, <br /> <br />Coal Priority-Use Areas <br /> <br />Compatible Uses <br /> <br />Most other uses could occur on coal areas, provided they <br />did not conflict with the priority use, Investments in land <br />treatments and improvement projects for intensive <br />management of other resources on BLM surface may be <br />postponed until coal development is completed and the site <br />is rehabilitated. Postmining land use on federal surface would <br />be determined during activity planning or at the mine plan <br />review stage, Uses that could occur on these lands are: <br /> <br />Oil and Gas, Lands wnuld remain open to oil <br />and gas leasing, Concurrent development of oil <br />and gas with coal would be allowed, as long as <br />it did not result in a significant loss of federal <br />coal or significant loss of oil and gas production, <br />Any conflicts arising from concurrent oil and gas <br />and coal development would be settled by the <br />operators. <br /> <br />1-20 <br /> <br />Other Minerals. Lands would remain open to <br />exploration and development of other federal <br />leasahle minerals and to location of mining claims, <br />Development of other federal leasable minerals <br />and federal material sales would be allowed, <br />provided they did not conflict with the develop- <br />ment of coal. <br /> <br />Livestock Grazing, Lands would remain open <br />to livestock grazing until it conflicted with coal <br />development. Intensive management practices or <br />range improvement projects would be permitted <br />only as long as coal development was not <br />imminent. Reclamation efforts to replace livestock <br />forage following mine abandonment would occur, <br />if livestock grazing were determined to be the <br />postmining land use, <br /> <br />Wildlife. Wildlife habitats, including threatened <br />or endangered species habitats, would be protected <br />by limits or restrictions placed nn the development <br />of federal coal, as the result of application of the <br />coal unsuitability criteria. Loss of other important <br />habitats would be mitigated, Management <br />practices would be allowed on BLM surface, <br />provided coal development was not imminent. <br /> <br />Forest Lands and Woodlands. Lands would <br />remain open to harvesting of forest and woodland <br />products on BLM surface until it conflicted with <br />coal development. When mining occurred, proper <br />disposal of timber products would be required, <br /> <br />Recreation, Lands would remain open to <br />dispersed recreation until it conflicted with mineral <br />exploration and development.
