In general, soil stripped from mined areas and fines (from processing) will be used to shape the edges of the pit, and to divide the pit into three ponds, each with a separate water level. Acreages are shown in Table E-1. The objective of the reclamation is to create a stable topography and biological community which can sustain the proposed post-mining use of the land and protect downstream water quality and quantities. As much as possible, soil and excess fines will be placed into stockpiles which can be easily moved to their permanent locations as part of the reclamation, outlining and defining the ponds which will be the major post-reclamation feature of the site.

COMPARISON OF LAND USE (6.4.5.(2)b.) We believe that the proposed post-mining use conionns to present and planned land use for the area. There is no official zoning classification by the County for the site, and no state land use plans, to our knowledge. The remainder of the Truelsen parcel of approximately 157 acres is used for agriculture and commercial recreational use; the properties to the east and west are National Forest System lands with conservation, recreation, and agricultural i5~o`IO~~'tJ 17p '- lad N'.
