The minesite was closed and the disturbed surface (portals, shop, coal handling, etc.) reclaimed in the tnid- 1980's. Blue Ribbon has continued to be monitored and maintained under extended reclamation liability by the operator MINREC Inc. until such time that it is ready for final Phase II and Phase III releases.
