reclamation habitat and the proximity of active leks and CSTG activity surrounding the mine. <br /> Please note that Colorado Parks and Wildlife monitoring is showing an increased upward trend in <br /> CSTG numbers and reclaimed lands play a role in this trend. <br /> Sandhill cranes have been monitored for a number of years through 2010. Birds have been present <br /> in areas adjacent to the northeast portions of the mine and have been observed flying over the <br /> mine. None have been documented as nesting on the Yoast mine site. <br /> PERMANENT INFRASTRUCTURE <br /> Upon final release of the Seneca Yoast Mine many features will be left as permanent infrastructure. <br /> These features include access roads, light-use roads, culverts, a water well, power lines and a <br /> substation, fenced shrub plots, sediment ponds, stock ponds, and miscellaneous boundary and <br /> grazing fences. All of the features and structures to remain as permanent are documented with <br /> rational and justification in Attachment 20-1 of the approved mine PAP, and are summarized <br /> below. Map 2, Permanent Features, shows the locations of the approved permanent features and <br /> structures to remain post mining. <br /> ACCESS ROADS <br /> Access roads remaining permanent features include Road "A" (part of the north permit boundary, <br /> not included on Map 2) and Road"B" (turns into LU-3A). Both of these roads provide landowner <br /> access to properties within the Yoast permit boundary that would otherwise be considered <br /> landlocked and inaccessible. In addition, SPL uses these access roads to perform maintenance and <br /> monitoring throughout the Yoast Mine property. These roads have been modified to the acceptable <br /> post-mine land use requisitions. The road profiles and cross-sections can be found in the approved <br /> mine PAP in Exhibit 20-3, Post Mine Road Profiles. <br /> LIGHT USE ROADS <br /> For limited access,Light-Use Roads have been retained as permanent features to access reclaimed <br /> lands and accommodate future landowner use. Light-Use Roads retained include LU 1, LU 2, LU <br /> 3A, LU 3B, LU 4, and LU 5. The Light-Use Roads retained are used property access by <br /> landowners, access to monitoring sites for water quality, pond access for inspections, and <br /> SL-7 - 29 <br />
