<br /> <br />7. If it appears that ell the mitigation measures will not insure the <br />survival of the trees, mining can be halt.gd. <br />H. Conclusion <br />Because the Coel Creek channel is a dynamic natural environment which <br />has not been monitored extensively in the past, it is difficult to <br />specifice+lly predict the behavior of the tr^ees and the gr•oundwater• <br />during mining. The greatest insurance for• the continued health of thFe <br />cottonwoe+d trees is to institute a vigorous nronitor•ing pr•ogr•am as we <br />are proposing here. This monitoring pr•ogr•anr is a significant amount of <br />work Tor• the mining operator, but it is inrpor^t ant to both the State <br />Board oP Land Commissioners and the environmental resource of the <br />Creek. The mining oper•ator•.is committed to the survival of all the <br />trees and we believe these methods and monitoring programs will insure <br />their survival. <br />67-1'c^1I~ <br />0E/06/BE3 <br />E <br /> <br />
