131 06/2024 <br />2.05.5 POSTMINING LAND USES <br />Coors Energy Company will reclaim disturbed lands within the Permit area to two types <br />of post-mining land uses, Rangeland and Industrial/Commercial. Rangeland is the <br />primary post-mining land use. Industrial/Commercial post-mining land use will be at the <br />following locations: <br />1. Hydro-carbon production sites (wells with identified access), approved by Permit <br />revisions [County codes indicate that oil and gas production facilities are a "use by <br />right" in agricultural zone districts (includes the permit area) and therefore no <br />zoning permits or separate approvals are required]; <br />2. Facilities area; and <br />3. Renewable Energy Development shall be allowed on all areas within the permit <br />except that ground penetrating mounts shall not be used withing the footprint of the <br />former B-Pit. <br />2.05.6 MITIGATION OF IMPACTS <br />1. Air Pollution Control Plan <br />Emission Control Permits No. C-12WE438F and 88WE031, issued by the Air <br />Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment, have been cancelled. Based on emission levels, the ash disposal and <br />reclamation operations are now subject to the Air Pollution Emission Notice <br />(APEN) procedures, administered by the same agency. Coors remains subject to all <br />Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Air Pollution Commission and the Colorado <br />Air Pollution Control Act (25-7-101 et seq.), as a basic condition of the Permit. <br />2. Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />Coors and the Division have agreed that no major mitigation measures need to be <br />taken to reduce the impact on fish and wildlife. Coors has or will implement a <br />number of objectives for mitigating impacts on birds and animals. <br />A. Coors has used guidelines set forth in "Environmental Criteria for Electric <br />Transmission Systems". Drawings of the system are provided in Appendix P-l <br />and P-2. <br />B. The permit area will be fenced to restrict access by large animals. <br />C. Hunting will not be allowed within the permit area. <br />D. Coors will establish raptor perches in the area if deemed advisable by the <br />Division of Wildlife. There is a colony of burrowing owls in the area and small- <br />eared owls are sited frequently. Depending on the area, there appears to be only <br />a moderate infestation of burrowing animals in the reclamation at this time, and <br />the numerous cottontail
