Haul road <br /> and powerline right-of-ways on Forest Service lands <br /> between fee title Tracts A and B and Federal coal lease <br /> Tract G, which is held by Mid-Continent, are authorized <br /> by special use permits from the Forest Services. 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. This will allow coal to be mined to within 50 <br /> feet of the lease boundaries as provided for in the <br /> coal lease documents. See Gunnison National Forest <br /> letter of consent for the buffer zone in Chapter IV, <br /> Page 38.
