It is the intent of the <br />mine operator to continue said land use during and after mining of the area. The AfFected Land <br />within the Northeast quarter of Section 31 is designated Agricultural Farming and Ranching <br />Zone District by Fremont County and includes the final land use of open rangeland/vnldlife <br />habitat as submitted with the original permit application. It is the intent of the mine ~~perator to <br />continue this land use after mining, with the exception of the highwall areas which v.•ill be <br />excluded from rangeland wildlife habitat via fencing. Those areas within the affecte~j land <br />boundaries in the Southwest quarter of Section 31 (35 acres) are currently designated <br />Agricultural Forestry District by Fremont County.

Therefore, the area that now exists as the <br />upper part of the existing haul road will be a lower elevation portion of the pit area in the <br />Northeast quarter and Southeast quarter of Section 31 and is included within the cost estimates <br />of reclamation as stated on page 22 of the permit application package.
