<br />5 | P a g e <br /> <br /> <br />falling and the continuation of the scree long term , therefore, no revegetation will be <br />provided in this area. <br /> <br />The post-mine land use for this area will be Industrial/Rangeland. The existing buildings <br />that will remain in this area will continue to be used as listed above, which is consistent <br />with Industrial use. The remaining portion on Area 5 will remain as-is falling under <br />Rangeland for wildlife. <br /> <br />Area 19A/B: <br /> <br />Given the existing topography and current vegetation, any additional work performed <br />would cause more disturbance to this area that would be difficult to restore or create a <br />more effective solution. This area is currently well vegetated with a few trees, sage <br />brush, and some grasses. There were 14 existing jersey barriers present within this <br />area that have been removed and repurposed for oil and gas operations. Area 19A has <br />existing electrical infrastructure that has been removed per means and methods stated <br />in Area 4 above. 19B consists of an alternate access road for the operator. Although <br />this road is not under routine maintenance, it is intended to remain as-is for the purpose <br />of secondary access. If the current main access road is ever compromised from debris, <br />crashes, rockslides, or weather, this road can easily be the designated route for access <br />to pads and infrastructure which is crucial to maintain. This is also crucial for any <br />emergency access where the main road gets blocked and needs to be rerouted . <br />Overall, neither 19A or 19B will require any recontouring as all slopes are stable and <br />vegetated. <br /> <br />The post-mine land use for Area 19A will be Rangeland. This entire area is west of the <br />main access road and will not be repurposed for development, rather left as -is for <br />rangeland and wildlife. The post-mine land use for Area 19B will be <br />Industrial/Rangeland. 19B could be utilized with an emergency access road going <br />through the area in the future, therefore falls under Industrial use. The remaining portion <br />of 19B will be rangeland as future use. <br /> <br /> <br />Area 6: <br /> <br />The lower bench of area 6 consists of a pull-off/parking area, helicopter pad with <br />windsock, existing well, and electrical infrastructure. The electrical infrastructure is <br />associated with the mine bench and the portals and consists of approximately 490’ of <br />underground line encased in poly conduit. There are 4 poles approximately 4 -feet in <br />height that will be removed. The electrical conduit and line will be cut and capped at <br />minimum 2.0’ under existing ground and backfilled. The pull-off/parking area and road to <br />helicopter pad will remain as-is but will be delineated with rock boulders to limit <br />vehicular access to the remaining portion of the bench. The rock delineation is 1,105 <br />feet long and the rocks or boulders should create at minimum a 1’Wx1’T separation. <br />The helicopter pad will also remain as well as the windsock. Access from the pull - <br />off/parking area will be provided and will consist of the same delineation as the parking <br />area. This portion of area 6 has decent vegetation coverage in areas but predominately <br />shrubs, additional seeding will be completed allowing grasses to grow. To accomplish <br />this, surface alleviation will need to be completed. Given this area has not been altered
