The known extent of coal mined is shown. There has been no <br />• evidence of subsidence at these sites. No surface coal mining has <br />occurred at this site. Small early mines were abandoned without <br />reclamation and have largely returned to a natural, vegetated <br />state. <br />• <br />s <br />s <br />I <br />The private land surrounding the mine-site, in Pitkin County, as of <br />1993, is zoned RS-30, which restricts residential development to <br />one residential dwelling unit per 30-acre parcel. All federal <br />lands are not zoned. <br />3.2.2 LOADOUT <br />The loadout facility is located on the Diamond S and the Crystal <br />River Ranch properties, which were owner-operated enterprises until <br />the early 1970's when they were acquired by the current owners, <br />both subsidiaries of the Anschutz Corporation. The ranches share <br />some common boundaries and encompass land on both sides of the <br />Roaring Fork River, about 2 miles downstream of the town of <br />Carbondale. Drawing Number D-2-3 depicts current adjacent <br />landowners. <br />Land use types which are affected by the coal loadout facility are <br />irrigated and hay meadow, irrigated pasture, non-productive pinyon- <br />juniper slope, and riparian land. The latter two types are <br />affected only insofar as the proposed conveyor traverses them, and <br />by construction of the haul road to the truck dump site. No <br />wetlands or other wildlife habitat are significantly disturbed. <br />3-7 Rev. 6-10-93 <br />
