Given that <br /> no future mining activities are planned within the requested acreage reduction area, and the site is stable <br /> and well vegetated,we wish to release 122 acres from the mine permit boundary. <br /> At this time, we are not requesting a change to the currently approved reclamation plan for the remaining <br /> mine permit boundary. However, we are in the process of developing a restoration plan, similar to what <br /> was successfully implemented at the requested acreage reduction area, which we plan to submit through a <br /> Technical Revision request in the near future. <br /> We appreciate your ongoing support with the Swan River Restoration Project. If you have any further <br /> questions or comments, please contact me at 970-668-4067. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Brian Lorch <br /> Director <br /> Open Space and Trails Department <br /> Cc: Anne Murphy, Open Space and Trails Manager, Town of Breckenridge <br /> Encl: Minerals Release Request Form <br /> Acreage Reduction Map <br /> Updated Mining and Reclamation Plan Map (Reporting Map) <br /> Acreage Reduction Area Photographs <br /> Minerals Program Inspection Report— 10/16/2019 (M-1993-035) <br />
