B. Areas under Study <br /> The affected area is not within an area under study for designation as unsuitable for surface coal <br /> mining operations (Rule 2.07.6(2)(d)(11)). <br /> C. Prohibitions and Limitations <br /> The affected area is not on any lands subject to the following prohibitions or limitations: <br /> • On any lands within the boundaries of the National Park System, the National Wildlife <br /> Refuge System, the National System of Trails, the National Wilderness Preservation <br /> System, the Wild and Scenic Rivers System including rivers under study for designation, <br /> and National Recreation Areas designated by Act of Congress (Rule 2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(A)); <br /> • Lands within 300 hundred feet measured horizontally of any public building, school, <br /> church, community or institutional building, or public park(Rule 2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(B)); <br /> • Within 100 feet measured horizontally of a cemetery (Rule 2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(C)); <br /> • On any Federal lands within the boundaries of any National Forest (Rule <br /> 2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(D)); <br /> • Within 300 hundred feet, measured horizontally, from any occupied dwelling (Rule <br /> 2.07.6(2)(d)(v))- <br /> Rule 2.07.6(2)(d)(iv) prohibits affected areas to be within 100 feet of public road rights-of-way <br /> without certain waivers. In compliance with such waivers, two sediment control ponds and a water <br /> pipeline are within 100 feet of public road rights-of-way. The Division found, after the necessary <br /> approvals were received, notices published, public hearing opportunities provided, and written <br /> findings made, that the interests of the public and affected landowners would be protected from the <br /> proposed mining operations. Other affected areas are not within 100 feet, measured horizontally, of <br /> the outside right-of-way line of any public road except where mine access or haul roads join such <br /> roads. <br /> V. Impact on Public Parks <br /> On the basis of information submitted by Colowyo in the form of five cultural resource inventories <br /> and associated reviews and comments (Exhibit 5 of the PAP), the Division finds that, subject to valid <br /> existing rights as of August 3, 1977, the mining operation will not adversely affect any publicly <br /> owned park or place listed on or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as <br /> determined by the State Historic Preservation Office (Rule 2.07.6(2)(e)(1)). <br /> VI. Mineral and Surface Estates <br /> Private mineral estate has, in part, been severed from private surface estate. Colowyo owns all <br /> private lands to be affected within the permit area. Documentation in the PAP verifying this is in the <br /> 27 <br /> Permit Revision No.5(PR-05),G 1981-019 <br />
