• 4.4.2.11 Removal of Project Facilities <br />On-site equipment and materials have been removed with the exception of the main access <br />road, which will be retained in its entire width. Secondary roads to the portals have been <br />covered with topsoil and revegetated. The seed mix shown in Table 4.4-36 has been <br />applied for the revegetation. <br />These roads, even though vegetated, will remain for permanent access for the future <br />farming and ranching operation as well as for access to hunting grounds. They will greatly <br />facilitate the movement of livestock to and from the new grazing grounds. <br />4.5 Post Mining Land Use <br />All surface lands disturbed by mining and development activities (except previous mining) <br />will be restored to a condition that is capable of supporting and improving the land use <br />that has existed before the mining or to the newly designated land use. The land use <br />classification under Garfield County Zoning regulations is shown on Figure 3.1-4 and is <br />currently designated AgricultureJPUD. This land use includes areas for grazing lands, <br />with wildlife habitat as secondary use, developed water resources, areas of steep mountain <br />shrub considered undeveloped land, some residential land use and areas for cropped hay. <br />The landowner of the disturbed area has determined the immediate best use of the <br />• reclaimed land will be agricultural purposes. It is, therefore, the intention of the final <br />reclamation plan to restore and improve, where possible and practical, the level of <br />usefulness of the lands as a result of the reclamation process. <br />Nc~a - c~ way a i 4-63 11-26-96 <br />
