Wildlife and the D.S. Fish and Wildlife Service suggest such <br />management techniques. Control of any accidental fires which might <br />occur in the permit area can be readily controlled through use of <br />the water trucks and heavy equipment described under Eule 2.05.3. <br />Alternative Land Oaes <br />All lands disturbed by mining related activities will be <br />returned to the premising land use categories of pastureland and <br />cropland. Since the land within the proposed permit area has <br />historically been actively managed for livestock grazing or crop <br />production, reclaimed tracts will receive the same management. <br />However, the proposed pastureland mixture contains woody and <br />herbaceous plan[ species capable of sustaining wildlife utilizing <br />revegetated areas. The grass species proposed for inclusion in the <br />perennial seed mizturea are capable or producing an abundance of <br />nutritious forage for livestock and wildife. The herbaceous and <br />woody species proposed in the revegetation plan will provide cover <br />similar to that presently encountered on undisturbed areas of the <br />mine plan and adjacent areas being managed as pastureland and <br />cropland. Bevegetated parcels within the proposed permit area will <br />provide a vegetation moaiac conducive to wildlife utilization and <br />the postmining land uses. <br />~~ <br />2.05 - 132 <br />
