MLRD approved the two ponds as permanent impoundments in a letter dated November 25, <br />1985. As part of SL-03, the Phase IUPhase III bond release approved by CDMG in July 1999, <br />CDMG determined that it had no further jurisdiction over the impoundments (see Attachment F, <br />Ponds HG8 and 003 Regulatory Status, of TR-68). The locations of the two ponds are shown on <br />Drawing G-1, Permanent Postmine Features. <br />5.0 Wildlife-Proof Fences <br />Three shrub augmentation parcels were established in 1996 as part of TR-62 to enhance the <br />wildlife habitat characteristics of the reclaimed mine area. The three shrub augmentation parcels, <br />(identified as Parcel E, Pazcel HG-8 and Parcel 003) aze shown on Drawing G-1, Postmining <br />Permanent Features.. To protect the shrubs planted within the augmentation pazcels, 8-foot high, <br />wildlife-proof woven wire fences were installed azound the perimeter of the augmentation <br />parcels. <br />These shrub augmentation areas provide needed habitat diversity at the mine site. They aze used <br />by game and non-game avian species (i.e., sharp-tailed grouse, waterfowl and migratory <br />songbirds, etc.} to forage and for cover and nesting activities. To protect the established shrubs <br />within the shrub augmentation parcels from elk, deer and antelope browse pressure, and assure <br />shrub survival, the wildlife-proof fencing will be left in-place as permanent postmine features <br />following bond release. <br />In accordance with Rule 2.05.5(1)(b) the postmine landowner has requested that the fences be left <br />in-place. A copy of an executed authorization letter is presented in Attachment G-1, Request to <br />Leave 8-Foot Wildlife-Proof Fencing. <br />• <br />MR-]7 G.2 Revised 72/05 <br />
