The affected lands will be <br /> returned to their pre-mining land use as recreational and the disturbed areas will be returned to a <br /> native mixed coniferous and deciduous forest type. The disturbed areas will be in successional <br /> stage so habitat in these immediate areas may contain slightly different abundance of local insect <br /> and small mammal wildlife. <br /> 5 <br />
