continuous throughout the growing season in every year. Where grazing occurs on reclaimed <br /> and adjacent lands under control during the liability period; area to be grazed, proper <br /> stocking rates, and grazing periods will be specified to the grazing lessee. This <br /> information will be based on vegetation production data from monitoring studies, size of <br /> pasture units, and management needs such as rest or grazing deferments. Any interim <br /> fencing will be established towards the need for special management or consideration of <br /> the ongoing mining operation. The permit area will be fenced to exclude livestock and <br /> access to non-mine personnel. However, upon completion of operations and reclamation <br /> activities, permanent fencing will be emplaced as soon as possible. The final fencing <br /> patterns will approximate premising patterns or current property owner boundaries at the <br /> time in order to restore the premining pasture units. Stockwater ponds removed by mining <br /> will be replaced in the postmining landscape either as close to the original location as <br /> practicable or in locations to improve management. Additional Stockwater tanks may be <br /> constructed in drainages to stabilize the landscape and provide additional water. These <br /> tanks will be designed and permitted as needed. Sediment ponds will be considered for <br /> retention as well. <br /> The haul road from Routt County Road 27 to the interior of the mine area will be regraded <br /> to a 2D feet shoulder to shoulder width and retained on the postmine landscape as a light <br /> duty, limited access road. All areas adjacent to the road will be permanently reclaimed. <br /> Management of wildlife will be nonintensive, with free use of the areas by big game and <br /> other species allowed. Observations of wildlife use on reclaimed lands will be made; <br /> however, intensive management of wildlife will be the responsibility of the Colorado <br /> Division of Wildlife. The Yoast Mine will cooperate with the Division when and where <br /> possible and will continue its policy of restricted or prohibited hunting (based on mine <br /> safety considerations) and non-harassment of wildlife on the mine property. <br /> As required by Rule 2.053(T)(b), Seneca Coal Company will request comments on the <br /> postmining land use from the legal or equitable owners of record of the surface of the <br /> permit area and the state and local government agencies which would have to initiate, <br /> implement, approve, or authorize the proposed use of the land following reclamation. <br /> Copies of the comments received by Seneca Coal Company will be forwarded to CDMG for <br /> inclusion in the permit. <br /> 7 <br />
