• Additional information on pre-mining and post-mining land uses is <br />presented in Sections 2.04.3, Site Description and Land Use Information <br />and 2.05.5, Post-Mining Land Use, and illustrated by the Mine and Loadout <br />Area Land Use Map, (Map 4). <br />4.]6.3 ALTERNATIVE LAND USES <br />In order to determine appropriate post-mining land uses for both the <br />Southfield mine and loadout areas, EFCI evaluated historical pre-mining, <br />prevailing local, and potential alternative land uses. <br />EFCI's proposed post-mining land uses for both the mine and loadout areas <br />are compatible with Federal and local land management/use plans and are <br />supported by the owners of any affected private lands as documented by <br />Exhibit 22, Surface Owner Contracts. In addition, proposed post-mining <br />land use plans are consistent with the objectives of protecting public <br />• health and safety and preventing potential adverse environmental impacts. <br />Changes in land uses for the Southfield mine and loadout areas are <br />unlikely given prevailing land use patterns, climatic and water <br />availability limitations, and regional socio-economic considerations. <br />Discussion of specific land use considerations is presented in Sections <br />2.04.3, Site Description and Land Use Information, and 2.05.5, Post- <br />Mining Land Use. <br />L~ <br />4.16-2 <br />
