• post-mining land uses as both mention ranching within the text. Both also do not <br />preclude development of other minerals which may be on the property. Mineral <br />development under the present county zoning requires a Special Use Permit but is <br />considered consistent with the AF zoning district. <br />Planned Post-MininP Land Uses <br />Sun Coal Company plans to return the disturbed areas to post-mining land uses <br />consistent with the existing and planned uses of the landowners. The proposed post- <br />mining land use for the Grassy Creek Coal Company parcel is rangeland. The <br />reclamation plan for this parcel has been developed with this use in mind. Consistent <br />with this use; Sun Coal has not established significant numbers of woody plant species <br />on this parcel which might detract from the production of desirable grass and forb <br />forage for livestock. Reclamation on the Eilts parcel was designed and implemented to <br />accommodate several post-mining land uses. Adjacent areas of the Coal View Ranch <br />are used for oil production, recreation, livestock ranching and commercial operations. <br />In consideration of the landowners wishes, the disturbed area within this parcel is being <br />returned to a commerciaUindustrial/recreation/range land use. <br />The post-mining ]and uses proposed are consistent and have not changed from the pre- <br />mining land uses. <br /> <br />• <br />Technical Revision 20 -373- Revised 6/96 <br />
