Hcneever, due to the <br />mall acreacjes that will actually tie disturbed, the proximity <br />of these disturbed areas to the hig}moay, and the prediction that <br />impact on deer and elk populations due to the proposed disturbance <br />will he minimal, perhaps of primary imp7rtance in reclaiming <br />this area is the stabilization of tie mine site. Thick stands of <br />brush can actually prevent large mammals from fully utilizing <br />the forage potential of an area and the restoration of this type <br />of vc~etation sasr~s not only inappropriate for the proposed <br />long-term ]and use, but also unrealistic in terms of site <br />stabilization and achieveing revegetation success, <br />
