• impacts to fish, wildlife or related environmental values by approving the proposed land <br />use changes. <br />Land Use Changes to Cropland <br />This rule does not apply, as the alternative post-mining land use being requested is not <br />cropland. <br />2.05.6 Mitigation of the Imaacts of Mining Oaerations <br />2.05.6(1) Air Pollution Control Plan <br />Implementation of the approved air pollution control plan will be in accordance with the <br />final plan as approved by the Colorado Air Quality Control Division when mining in <br />reinstated. Based on the application and initial permit approval fugitive dust and any other <br />particulate matter passing into the air, will be mitigated as follows: <br />• All roads will be sprinkled with water during the hours of operation. <br />• All areas where the vegetal material has been removed to facilitate the operations, <br />wiU be sprinkled with water during periods when vehicles are passing through <br />• and/or the areas will be seeded to grasses, or they may be hazd surfaced. <br />All coal waste will be handled according to the Section 4.10, Coal Processing <br />Waste, and placed back in the pit as part of the backfill material. Also, the coal <br />fines will be temporarily placed in a pit which will also provide protection from the <br />wind. <br />• The coal processing equipment will be of mobile and modulaz construction, which <br />is enclosed, except where the coal conveyors enter and exit the structures. The <br />conveyors will also be covered and/or wetted to prevent the occurrence of fugitive <br />dust. <br />2.05.6(21 Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />The post mining land use of the permit area is industrial and commercial, residential, and <br />recreation. Through the reclamation and revegetation plan OEI intends to provide a <br />buffer between the more active and passive land uses which accommodates wildlife. This <br />will be achieved through backfilting and grading to establish topographic buffers, <br />plantings, and revegetation. <br />Disturbance of wildlife will occur during the mininglreciamation activities. However, the <br />• disturbance will be mitigated to the extent possible by minimizing the removal of existing <br />TROB, TRl l (v 1.0) S~tO Revised 9/97, 5/02 <br />
