Hutt 2 ~ Permits <br />The post-mining land use which LCC proposes for the permit area at the Lorencita Canyon Mine is <br />shown an Map 2,05.5-1, i'ost-mining Land Use. The post-muting land use on undi_, sturbed portions <br />of the permit area wilt be similar to the pre-mining land use, and will consist of ran oland/wildlife <br />habitats. Land uses adjacent to the permit area along the river consist afcrvpland, irrigated crop an <br />and residences. Na land uses adjacent to the permit area will be affected by mining aperatinns. Pre- <br />mining land uses aze described in Section 2,44.3 of this application. Surface coal minirrg disturbance <br />areas consist afthe surface mine area and haul raads. Access roads wilt consist of upgraded existing <br />roads. {)thcr light-use roads will also utilize existing roads and not require new disturbance. <br />Reclamation of surface distur~3nce areas will establish permanent vegetation cover of the same <br />seasonal variety and utility as the vegetation native to the affected area, and is consistent with the <br />plaruted post-mining land uses. Achievement ofthepost-mining land uses will be accomplished by <br />grading and backfilling, and revegetativn, <br />The disturbance associated with the surface mine will include the mine area and fill areas. Nv <br />buildings yr structures will be constructed to support the surface mine. A change of land use <br />following mining is approved for the surface mine area. The surface mine area will be reclaimed <br />primarily as grassland wr`th shrub plots interspersed throughout the area. The pre-mine vegetation <br />communities are grassland and oaklpinyon pine used primarily for wi Idlife habitat with a secondary <br />use of grazing. The change will increase and improve grazing habitat and will improve habitat for <br />some wildlife species, <br />Revegetatian communities representative ofexisting Helios=pre-mine plant catrunuttities will also be <br />established on the roads. Haul roads will consist of new disturbance in areas with apre-mine land <br />use of wildlife habitat and gnaxing. Topsoil salvaged from road construction will be stared in <br />windrows adjacent to the roads ar in a stockpile near the raads. After haul roads are no (anger <br />needc~ci, they will be reclaimed and revegetated to a grassland community. T}se pr7mazy past-mine <br />land use will be rattgelartd. Fish and wildlife habitat will be a secondary use. <br />tJ e of bond and final revegetation, the land will be returned to the pre-mine land us~the-''~ t ~ <br />~gartal areas, d haul/access roads. The surface mine area will be used primarily for grazing; which is <br />an approved change of land use from the primary pre-mine land use of wildli fehabitat/grazing. LCC <br />currently Teases all surface lands affected by the mine operations. Upon completion of hnat <br />reclamation and revegetation, the land use will be returned in each specific use <br />r yyt¢~ <br />,- P' t~ „ 1t <br />2.45-7b ~~--C~ <br />{revised 9/13l4i j <br />-,1 <br />
