Long: <br />Pocrlerhorn Coal Coxpany's exploration activities cn the subject leasr.s t?~is <br />year consisted o` dri'_? hcles pcc-^1 throceh pcc-10 along orith associated <br />access road disturbance, ?cost disturbance occurred on the :eases within the <br />mine permit area, with a. small section of access road beinv constricted <br />off-lease under a R'iM right-ef-tray. ??eclamation and abanonment wort. is <br />nearly comoleted on the drill sites and those roads ~a`;ich will be oer~anently <br />closed. <br />?o~.derhorn has requested t'rat rec'_a_~ation be deferred anti]. 19F8 on certain <br />access roads needed for Further access for exploration drilling. These roads <br />consist of the access road built under phase 1 and that portion of the. phase 3 <br />road from the lease boundary north to the turn-off to drill site pcc-0°. <br />Since Powderhorn has ao definite glans to use these roads in the ft:ture, we <br />recommend that approval be given on a year-by-year basis bet~-een now and <br />1988. Reclamation must be completed by the fall of 1986 unless another <br />__ regcest is submitted stating the road will he needed for the Following year. <br />~ ko seeding of these roads is necessary at this time, but waterbars mast be <br />~-installed this fall in accordance with the explorat'_o^_ plan approval <br />st*pulation. Since public access to these areas is already controlled, we <br />will not require the roads to he blocked. <br />elf <br />r <br />
