~• 2.04.3 <br />1. fi 2. The land use of the permit area has remained basically <br />the same for the past five (5) years, that is mining and <br />grazing and/or rangeland with wildlife habitat. The mining <br />history of the permit area is well defined in Section 4.1 of <br />the permit. To summarize, strip mining has existed from 1977 <br />until the present, with deep mining from 1903 until 1952. This <br />is evidenced by the old works. <br />The writer of this particular section of the permit <br />considered "highland agriculture" as the only other historic <br />land use for the area. However we could find no definition or <br />terminology for this designation. In actuality, the term <br />r should be grazing and/or rangeland that is an open area for <br />`• cattle to roam and graze. A copy of a notarized statement from <br />the land owners attesting to the fact that no other historic <br />use existed for the past five (5) years will be forthcoming. <br />The permit itself, on page IV-4 last paragraph, defines land <br />use prior to mining as rangeland and wildlife habitat. <br />The term "highland agriculture" will be changed to <br />"grazing and/or rangeland" within the permit and a copy of <br />the letter will become an exhibit to Section 4.1. <br />~~ <br />~A <br />
