• ing of work; therefore, no ].iecstocl; wou]d be o~pected <br />to be .lose as a direct result of these activities. <br />Some land would be totally lost to livestock as a <br />result of office and maintenance building construction, <br />overburden stockpiles, haul roads, and tl~e on-soing <br />mine activity. The resulting loss of gracing capacity <br />(AU"f@) would vary, depending on the vegetation type <br />that is being cleared each year. All previously <br />mined areas would be in some stage of reclamation and <br />might or might not be available for livestock use. <br />All revegetated areas would be fenced to exclude live- <br />stock use until the vegetation is established, probably <br />two or three grooring seasons.' Therefore, losses of <br />• AL'Ms on a year by year basis could vary depending on <br />the type of vegetation disturbed during that year. <br />It is currently planned to return this area to grazing <br />when the mining is finished. At the same time, wild- <br />life values would be protected, and wildlife sirub and <br />[ree habitat re-established within the area. Some <br />of the mined areas would be seeded to a grassland <br />type, and some would be planted to trees and scrubs. <br />This would impact the domestic animals by altering <br />the area's overall carryin<o capacity. <br />~ C.
