NYT '7-—: <br />2.06.5 (2) (a) Post -Mining Land Use <br />Post -mining land use (agricultural/ rangeland) will be enhanced by the PMT since the reduced slopes will <br />allow an increase in forage, will decrease erosion, and will tend to modulate surface -water runoff. <br />Rangeland is the current and only post -mining use of the land. The written request by Colowyo for this <br />variance is included in the cover letter. <br />2.06.5 (2) (b) Consultation with Planning Agencies <br />The land to be mined is owned by Colowyo and the Bureau of Land Management. Therefore, <br />consultation from land -use planning agencies is not applicable. <br />2.06.5 (2) (c) Alternative Postmining Land Uses <br />Rangeland is the current and only post -mining use of the land. <br />2.06.5 (2) (d) Watershed Improvements <br />The reduced slopes of the PMT will decrease erosion and control surface -water runoff; therefore, <br />reducing the total suspended solids and other pollutants discharged to ground and surface waters from the <br />permit area. The total volume of flows from the permit area will not vary in a way that adversely affects <br />the ecology. Approval from environmental agencies is not applicable. <br />2.06.5 (2) (e) Owner Approval <br />The owners of the property within the revision area are Colowyo and the Bureau of Land Management. <br />A letter requesting that the variance from Approximate Original Contour for Steep Slope Mining be <br />granted from BLM is included as Figure 2.06.5-1. <br />2.06.5 (2) (f) Compliance with Limited Variances <br />The operations will be completed in compliance with the requirements of limited variances as outlined in <br />Section 4.27.4 of this permit document. <br />2.06.6 Prime Farmlands <br />Prime farmlands do not exist within the South Taylor/Lower Wilson permit revision boundary (see <br />Section 2.04.12). <br />2.06.7 Reclamation Variance <br />There will be no delay in contemporaneous reclamation due to underground mining activities; therefore, <br />this section is not applicable. <br />2.06.8 Alluvial Valley Floor (AVF) <br />General <br />Both a field investigation and technical evaluation of the Wilson Creek drainage was conducted in <br />accordance with this Section and draft OSM Technical Guideline, "OSM Alluvial Valley Floor <br />Guidelines", dated June 11, 1980. The investigation resulted in no identification of alluvial valley floors <br />South Taylor/Lower Wilson — Rule 2, Page 87 Revision Date: 4/7/17 <br />Revision No.: RN -07 <br />
