[Insert as new page 4-100(a) through 4-100(c)] 4.5.2.2 Diamond-A Parcel. Description. A portion of the loadout facility is located on what is commonly referred to as the Diamond-A Ranch. Such portion of the loadout facility is hereinafter referred to as the ^Diamond-A Parcel' and is more particularly described as: All portions of the Permit Area located north and east of the center of the Roaring Fork River in Township 7 South, Range 88 West, 6th Prime Meridian, Section 20, Lots 10, 11, 12, 15 and 16, and Section 29, Lots 2, 3 and 4. Land Use Classification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Permit, the Diamond-A Parcel is approved for post-mining land uses falling within the °residential° and °industrial° land use classifications, as such terms are defined by paragraphs 1.04(71)(e) and (f) of CMLRD Rule 1, so that the Diamond-A Parcel may be physically incorporated into any future development of the Diamond-A Ranch, including but not limited to the development of a residential community with a golf course and related retail establishments. Such change in land use classification shall become effective on the date on which the Division receives evidence that the Garfield County land use authorities have approved a planned unit development plan or other zoning changes that allow for development of the Diamond-A Parcel. Reclamation. Phase I reclamation success standards for backfilling and grading described in the original reclamation plan for the Diamond-A Parcel were achieved in 1988. Accordingly, the permittee was released from further liability in that regard pursuant to the Division's approval of Technical Revision Number 07 in March, 1988. As documented in pages 4-99(b) through 4-99(e) above, revegetation and stabilization success standards have now been achieved for the Diamond-A Parcel. The only reclamation obligation that remains to be completed with respect to the Diamond-A Parcel is the removal of the two concrete footers located on the east bank of the Roaring Fork River. Accordingly, upon the removal of the two concrete footers, all reclamation obligations with respect to the Diamond-A Parcel will have been satisfied. Performance Standards. The Division acknowledges that the development of the Diamond-A Ranch will involve substantial new disturbances of the Diamond-A Parcel and that 4-100(a)
