E-2 <br />• associated hunting activities. The proposed post-mining land use <br />likewise will be livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. The <br />reclamation plan has been designed so that post-mining land use <br />goals are met. This is achieved by ensuring that a permanent <br />vegetation cover is established which is at least equal to or <br />better than, the existing vegetation in terms of its quality and <br />productivity. <br />E.3 General Reclamation Goals and Procedures <br />Generally, reclamation within the project area will include all <br />related activities such as waste disposal, topsoil handling, <br />seedbed preparation, revegetation, and post-reclamation <br />• monitoring. Reclamation of the area disturbed by mining <br />activities will be consistent with its current use as rangeland <br />and wildlife habitat. As such, this reclamation plan is intended <br />to restore these disturbed areas to a condition equal to or <br />better than their original condition. <br />A diverse, effective, and permanent vegetation cover will be <br />established at the project site on all lands disturbed by mining <br />operations. Plan species selected for revegetation will be self- <br />renewing and capable of withstanding the climatic and soil <br />conditions found in the project area. Additionally, reclamation <br />will be carried out in a manner that encourages the prompt <br />establishment of vegetation cover and its return of productive <br />• capabilities. All reclaimed areas will be fenced with four <br />
