The Forest Service approved a Reclamation Plan on June 15, 2020, and the operator has met the <br /> conditions of final reclamation. The disturbed areas have been seeded, however, it is too early in the <br /> process for successful revegetation to occur. The gate to the mine has been removed. The road was <br /> closed via surface roughening and placement of logs,then seeded. There is no erosion from disturbance. <br /> No weeds were observed. Weeds and revegetation will be monitored for one growing season. The State <br /> of Colorado retains the bond and will be notified prior to releasing the bond if revegetation is <br /> unsuccessful or weed control is required. Bonding is in effect for$34,308.00. <br /> Underground activities are not occurring onsite and no equipment or fuel were present. The <br /> cabin/toolshed has been removed. Logs were lopped and scattered as per the Reclamation Plan,and <br /> nonnative and/or non-biodegradable materials have been removed from the site.
