The proposed site is for gravel rock extraction by the Fremont County Road <br />Department, Howard Pit #I & #2. The location is on Howard Cr. in western Fremont County. <br />Two property owners own the land; Bill Canterbury Jr., and Gary Graley. Fremont County will <br />be the lessee of the operation. Approximately 8.8 acres is involved. <br />The present land use is native range and the proposed post-mining land is to return to rangeland <br />use. The Fremont SCD has been asked to comment on the post mining land use. <br />I have reviewed the application and am familiar with the location. I believe a return to rangeland <br />is the best suited land use. The application also includes a reclamation plan and proposed re- <br />vegetation seeding nrix. The mix includes a good diverse mixture of plants suited to <br />reclamation of [he site. <br />Sincerely, <br />iJ <br />Roy Roper, <br />Contrac{Soil Conservationist <br />Cc: Joan Adair, President Fremont SCD <br />Howard Pi[ I & 2 <br />~~s <br />CONSERVATION -DEVELOPMENT- SELF-GOVERNMENT <br />
