The permit is valid; but <br />since the mine and all associated activities have ceased, Sun Coal Company will <br />be in compliance with all applicable air quality regulations during the bonding <br />period. <br />Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />A description of the wildlife resources of the Meadows No. 1 mine permit <br />area is presented in Section 2.04.11. Runoff from the mine area and the decom- <br />missioned haul road is contro]led to minimize offsite erosion and sedimentation <br />impacts to adjacent streams and aquatic habitat. Sediment control structures <br />include sedimentation ponds, sediment traps, riprapped ditches, culvert inlets, <br />• rolling dips, runouts, and contour furrows. Current reclamation activities <br />include monitoring and maintenance during the 10-year bonding period to ensure <br />fish and wildlife impacts are mitigated. <br />Wildlife is expected to re-establish during the reclamation period, and it <br />is expected that the reclamation will enhance wildlife diversity and produc- <br />tivity. During the reclamation bonding period, wildlife will be protected by: <br />. Minimizing off-road vehicle use of the backfilled mine permit area. <br />Prohibiting hunting or the discharging of firearms on the permit area. <br />Prohibiting the use of non-persistent pesticides and herbicides on the <br />permit area. <br />• <br />- 374 - (Rev. 5/86) <br />
