eh <br />ESPEY, HUSTON &ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />i. <br />4:r POST MINING LAND USES <br />The post-mining land uses will be the same as pre-mining land uses (see <br />Chapter D). The primary post-mining land use will be range for livestock grazing <br />with a secondary use for wildlife habitat. Successful implementation of the <br />reclamation plan addressed in this chapter and the Fish and Wildlife Protection Plan <br />will achieve these post-mining land uses. These uses aze compatible with the <br />surrounding area (zoned agricultural with only native hay crops hazvested adjacent <br />to the mine plan azea and Lease azea). There are no local land use plans for the mine <br />plan azea and lease azea (see chapter D). <br />Northern Coal Company has contacted both Rio Blanco and Moffat <br />counties and they indicated that to date no comments had been <br />• received on the mine plan by the legal or equitable owners of <br />record. To our knowledge, the Office of Surface Mining and the <br />State Mined Land Reclamation Division have received no com- <br />ments. If any comments are received from the owners, Northern <br />will submit them as a part of the application as required. <br />n <br />LJ <br />m -tl i <br />/~1~~ <br />
