2.05.5 -POST-MINING LAND USE <br />The proposed post-mining land uses of the proposed permit area are the <br />same as the pre-mining land uses; rangeland, fish and wildlife habitat, <br />and undeveloped land. The post-mining land uses will be achieved <br />through demolition and removal of buildings and mining related <br />structures (including coal), backfilling and grading of the surface <br />facilities area to apost-mining topography consistent and complimentary <br />to the surrounding topography, replacement of topsoil, and revegetation <br />of the entire mining related disturbance area. <br />The reclamation plan has been developed to provide apost-mining <br />topography and vegetation community equivalent or better than that <br />there currently. Verification of the utility and capacity of the post-mining <br />land use to support equivalent uses will be undertaken through <br />comparison with the reference area, established to represent the pre- <br />mining condition and utility of the site. Currently, there are no planned <br />uses or land use policies in force for the project area. The reclamation <br />plan has been designed to require no support activities after completion, <br />with the exception of normal management practices (weed control, stock <br />rotation, or others). The reclamation plan is consistent with the <br />requirements of the landowner lease. <br />National King Coal, LLC does not propose to change the post-mining land <br />uses from the pre-mining land uses. <br />National King Coal, LLC King II Mine <br />Section 2.05.5 <br />Page I October, 2005 <br />
