The affected and adjacent lands <br />are not capable of supporting a wide variety of land uses due to <br />the rugged topography and lack of water resources in the area. <br />Areas surrounding the permit area have been previously <br />• <br />mined underground by room and pillar method in the Engle- <br />villa coal seam as late as 1967. The main Engle mine was <br />operated from 1893 to 1935 by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company <br />and 4,626,983 tons of coal was removed. From 1951 to 1967 two <br />small operations worked intermittently on a farmout from CFI <br />and removed an additional 33,597 tons of coal through pillar <br />robbing. The primary land use is agricultural/rangeland and the <br />local land use zoning classification is Agriculture/gangeland. <br />The land is usually leased for pasturing.
