See <br />Section G of this chapter for special use permit <br />documentation. The road from Tract B to State Highway <br />133 near the town of Redstone is a public road utilized <br />by the Forest Service as a forest management road, by <br />ranchers to reach their cattle grazing areas in Coal <br />Basin and by Mid-Continent for access to its mining <br />operations. A quarter mile buffer zone (Tract P) <br />extending beyond the Federal coal lease boundaries is <br />included in the Estimated Area For Life of Operation <br />and Permit Area to allow for possible subsidence angle <br />of draw.
