Section 780.1 (llb} Continued <br />The BLM has requested the east end of the mine access road (900 ft) <br />adjoining County Road 12E and 2,250 feet of the Bush Draw Crossing road ~ <br />(formerly to Pond G) be retained as permanent. Both these road sections <br />will be re-designated as permanent light-use roads. <br />Sedimentation Ponds A, B, D, E and F - As described in Sections 780.11, <br />780.25 and 816.48, sedimentation Ponds A. B, D, E and F will be retained <br />in conjunction with the proposed postmining land use as permanent <br />impoundments to provide watering sources for livestock and wildlife and as <br />a beneficial habitat component relative to wildlife reestablishment and <br />use. <br />Existing Water Supply Wells - Kerr currently owns and maintains two water <br />supply wells and the associated water rights; one located in the mine area <br />and one in the Loadout area. These wells will be retained as water supply <br />sources in conjunction with the proposed postmining land use to provide <br />water for stock watering, limited irrigation, and other grazing-related <br />uses, as required. <br />Light-Use Access Road (Loadout Area) - An existing road which is partially <br />paved and partially gravel surfaced, was used by Kerr as a haul road to <br />connect the Kerr Loadout with the nearby County road. Given that future <br />beneficial use of the reclaimed Loadout area is dependent on reasonable <br />access, this road will be retained as a permanent. The access road and <br />will be re-designated as a light-use road. The road is currently <br />relatively narrow so no modification or narrowing of the road is proposed <br />in conjunction with the proposed postmining use. <br />Loadout Shop Building - The existing Loadout shop building is relatively <br />small and would be of value in conjunction with the postmining use as a <br />storage building £or small equipment and supplies particularly given the <br />distance of the Loadout area from the mine area. As previously noted, the <br />current owner has requested that the existing shop structure in the <br />Loadout area be retained in conjunction with his proposed future use of <br />the property. <br />Schedule of Revegetation - Kerr Tipple Area - Demolition of the Loadout <br />and the completion of regrading, topsoil replacement and permanent <br />seeding were completed in the summer season of 2000. <br />TR-23 780-74b Revised June 2007 <br />
