2.05.5 POSTMINING LAND USES <br />Coors Energy Company anticipates reclaiming the entire Permit site to a <br />postmining land use of "rangeland". 'The current exceptions to this designation <br />aze hydro-carbon production sites (we;lls with identified access), approved as <br />Permit revisions, with apost-mining land use of commerciallindustrial (as <br />identified on page 124a). Other post-mining land use changes will be proposed <br />by Coors as Permit revisions which address the criteria in Section 4.16.3 of the <br />Regulations. <br />2.05.6 MITIGATION OF IMPACTS <br />1. Air Pollution Control Plan <br />Emission Control Permits No. C-12WE438F and 88WE031, issued by the <br />Air Pollution Control Division. of the Colorado Department of Public <br />Health and Environment, have been cancelled. Based on emission levels, <br />the ash disposal and reclamation operations aze now subject to the Air <br />Pollution Emission Notice (AF'EN) procedures, administered by the same <br />agency. Coors remains subject to all Rules and Regulations of the <br />Colorado Air Pollution Commission and the Colorado Air Pollution <br />Control Act (25-7-101 et seq.) as a basic condition to the Permit. <br />2. Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />Coors and the Division have agreed that no major mitigation measures <br />need to be taken to reduce the impact on fish and wildlife. Coors has or <br />will implement a number of objectives for mitigating impacts on birds and <br />animals. <br />A. Coors has used guidelines set forth in "Environmental Criteria for <br />Electric Transmission Systems". Drawings of the system aze provided <br />in Appendix P-1 and P-2. <br />B. The permit area will be fenced to restrict access by lazge animals. <br />C. Hunting will not be allowed within the permit area. <br />D. Coors will establish raptor perches in the area if deemed advisabie by <br />the Division of Wildlife. There is a colony of burrowing owls in the <br />area and small-eared owls aze sited frequently. Depending on the <br />area, there appears to be only a moderate infestation of burrowing <br />animals in the reclamation at this time, and the numerous cottontail <br />rabbits have not migrated to the reclamation from their present close <br />proximity to the shop/office and its human activity. Daylight raptors <br />have been seen migrating through the permit azea, but are only <br />occasionally observed perched on fence posts or power poles. <br />124 5/06 <br />
