We understand that CWI intends to restore or rehab- <br />ilitate the land to its present uses - wildlife habitat and rangeland. <br />These post-mining land uses would be acceptable to the Bureau of Iand Manage- <br />ment, as the agency responsible for managing the subject lands. <br />We also understand the proposed facilities would be removed (after they are <br />• not needed), the large culvert and drainage facilities removed, the terrain <br />regraded to its near-original condition; then the disturbed areas would be <br />revegetated with species that complement wildlife habitat and range manage- <br />ment purposes. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Robert V. Carruthers <br />Area Manager <br />Enclosure <br />u <br />
