-8- <br />Finally, revegetation <br />of the same seasonal <br />self-regeneration and <br />natural vegetation in <br />activities will establish a permanent vegetative cover <br />variety native to the area and capable of <br />plant succession equal in extent and cover to the <br />the area. <br />The Mt. Gunnison No. 1 Mine permit application was originally submitted on <br />November 6, 1979, and,was approved on July 31, 1981. On February 22, 1985, <br />WECC submitted this permit revision request to expand the extent of their <br />underground workings. The primary purpose of the revision is to allow WECC to <br />show due diligence in development of Federal Coal Lease No. C-1362. All of <br />the lands affected by the permit revision are within the North Fork of the <br />Gunnison River drainage. No mining will occur south of the <br />North Fork/Minnesota Creek drainage divide. No surface facilities are <br />proposed for this revision. No significant water resources will be affected <br />by the revision. <br />The legal description of lands included within this permit revision is as <br />follows: <br />All of SE 1/4, S 1/2 NE 1/4, Section 19 <br />W 1/2 SW 1/4, NE 1/4 NW 1/4, Section 20, and <br />Portions of W 1/2 W 1/2, Section 22, <br />W 1/2 W 1/2, Section 26, <br />S 1/2 S 1/2, Section 27, <br />N 1/2, SE 1/4, Section 28 <br />N 1/2, Section 29, <br />N 1/2 SW 1/4, Section 30, and <br />N 1/2 NE 1/4, Section 34. <br />The following decision document and findings of compliance were prepared for <br />the entire proposed Mt. Gunnison permit area permitted to date under permit <br />C-007-80 and the 1,630 permit revision. Only those sections that were affected <br />by the permit revision were revised in this decision document. For example, <br />since no surface facilities were proposed in the permit revision, the topsoil <br />and revegetation sections of the findings document were not changed from the <br />original findings of compliance document (Permit C-007-80). Any stipulations <br />from the original permit and findings document that have been totally resolved <br />to the satisfaction of the Division, have been removed from this document. <br />Therefore this document represents current findings. of compliance, current <br />stipulations still in effect, and current cumulative hydrologic impact <br />assessments. <br />--- <br />
