Given the character of t}ie existing 1 use patterns in the immediate vicinity and the nature of the prop ed operation, it would appear that the land use impacts associated with the operation can be substantially mitigated provided that it is condo ted in the manner set forth in tl~e application in accordance witk~ thos terms and condi- tions designed to mitigate such impacts. 6. State Agency Approval: Given the extract ve nature of the proposed land use, any County approval should be exp essly conditional upon tl~e Applicant receiving and maintaining, at a times, Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board approval, as well as all approvals or permits from relevant state agencies.
