• Reclamation of the disturbed areas will provide a permanent cover of plant species which <br />are consistent with the planned post-mining land use. Achievement of the post mining <br />land uses of rangeland, pastureland and ranchette will be accomplished by the <br />implementation of the grading and backfilling plan and the revegetation plan reviewed in <br />section 2.05.4 of this application. Upon approval of final reclamation and full bond <br />release, the land will be returned to each of these land uses. <br />Basin either owns or controls though an exclusive-use lease, the surface which was <br />affected by the Golden Eagle mining operation. Basin will continue to maintain control <br />over these lands consistent with the post mining land use through final bond release. <br />Access to revegetated areas will be controlled to ensure that the post-mining land use is <br />achieved as soon as possible. Upon completion of final reclamation and full bond <br />release, the land will return to its approved post-mining land use and utilized by the <br />landowners, lessees or renters. The majority of the disturbed areas is owned by the State <br />of Colorado, managed by the Division of Wildlife, and will be used as a State Wildlife <br />Area. <br />In those areas with apost-mining industrial use classification, satisfactory cover, plant <br />life or gravel base, or other erosion control methods were employed to control erosion <br />during and after mining ceased. Basin continued to monitor these sites after mine closure <br />until reclamation bonding was established by the industrial user with the Oil and Gas <br />• Conservation Commission and bond release for these sites was granted by the Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. Upon completion of natural gas production and related activities, <br />the permittee of the natural gas estate will reclaim these industrial use areas in accordance <br />with the requiremenu of the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. <br />The return of the lands' condition to the post-mining land uses is consistent with the <br />surface owner's consent. This approach to reclamation of the disturbed areas and affected <br />areas and its return to the premining land uses, is consistent, and <br />• 2.05-29 (Permit Renewal Azuieien - 3/27/00 <br />~N'63 <br />
