~ Section 780.111b1 Continued. <br />miscellaneous supplies. By having a suitable, centrally located facility, it is reasonable to <br />expect that land use intensity and productivity can be increased over the premining <br />condition through more intensive land management, possibly including managed <br />rotational grazing, dryland hay cropping, or development of limited areas of irrigated <br />pastureland. Kerr has negotiated with and received earnest money from a prospective <br />buyer for both the mine and loadout areas. The prospective buyer has requested that <br />the existing shop structures in both the mine and loadout areas be retained in <br />conjunction with his proposed future use of these properties. <br />Light-Use Entrance Road (Mine Areal -Kerr established a main haul road, Haul Road A, <br />from the mine entrance gate to the office/shop/warehouse facility, with connecting <br />roads to the active mining areas. On cessation of active mining operations, Kerr <br />submitted and obtained DMG approval of a Minor Revision, MR-25, to narrow Haul Road <br />A consistent with proposed future use and redesignate the road as a permanent light-use <br />road. The light-use road will be utilized in conjunction with the proposed postmining <br />land use to provide continued access to both the office/shop/warehouse building and <br />. general reclaimed mine area. <br />Sedimentation Ponds A, B, D, and E - As described in Sections 780.11, 780.25, and <br />816.46, Sedimentation Ponds A, B, D, and E will be retained in conjunction with the <br />proposed postmining land use as permanent impoundments to provide watering sources <br />for livestock and wildlife and as a beneficial habitat component relative to wildlife <br />reestablishment and use. <br />Existing Water Supply Wells -Kerr currently owns and maintains two water supply <br />wells and the associated water rights, one in the mine area and one in the loadout area. <br />These wells will be retained as a water supply source in conjunction with the proposed <br />postmining land use to provide water for stock watering, limited irrigation, and other <br />grazing-related uses, as required. <br />Light-Use Access Road (loadout Areal - An existing road, which is partially paved and <br />partially gravel surfaced, was used by Kerr as a haul road to connect the Kerr loadout <br />with the nearby County road. Given that future beneficial use of the reclaimed loadout <br />. area is dependent on reasonable access, this road will be retained as a permanent <br />access road and will be redesignated as a light-use road. The road is currently relatively <br />TR-19 780-13a Revised 11/98 <br />
