I' <br />I�II�999��II��I�� <br />Doc Date: 12/11/2001 <br />4.0 PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC RESOURCES <br />Mining will have some effect on the environmental resources within the proposed <br />mine plan area and adjacent areas. Effects however will be short term as the <br />mitigation measures discussed in this section and the monitoring programs associ- <br />ated with these mitigating measures will effectively evaluate and offset effects <br />on environmental resources. Short-term useage pattern will be reduced due to <br />mining activities but will be returned to pre -mine levels. <br />Baseline data is presented in Section 2.0. The best technology currently availa- <br />ble and consultation with regulatory agencies have formed the basis of the miti- <br />gating measures proposed. These measures are designed to offset possible effects <br />of mining and to give Trapper Mine the flexibility needed to effectively manage <br />environmental resources as dictated by site specific conditions. <br />4-1 <br />
