other areas of the Pre-Law lands for which bond release was requested in accordance with applicable <br />reclamation laws and bond release requirements. <br />With the exception of the two excluded areas described above, no other problems that would preclude <br />bond release were identified during the bond release inspection. The Pre-Law lands requested for <br />bond release have been restored to a stable landform and based on the inspection the reclamation was <br />successful and complete. The post-mining land use of rangeland with a primary use of livestock <br />grazing and a secondary use of wildlife habitat have been achieved within the area requested for bond <br />release. The Pre-Law area is being actively managed for livestock grazing and deer and elk are seen <br />frequently utilizing the area. Revegetation has been firmly reestablished with a diverse, effective, and <br />permanent vegetative cover native to the area of land affected by the mining disturbance. The <br />reclaimed acreages remain in good condition. <br />Corrective actions will be necessary to secure bond release in the future for PL-1 Channel and Dozer <br />Track locations. The disturbance at these locations is not significant (a total of 1.39 acres) and these <br />two areas will be included with the 67.4 acres of the Old Wolf Creek Pit area.
