A study is currently underway on reclaimed <br />surface mined lands, taking into consideration climatic limitations. <br />The study is located on the 1:err Afine and is part of the P1cCallum <br />Energy ?fineral P.eclamation Inventory and Analysis (E1~1RIA) study to <br />end by 1982. Results of this study will be available for application <br />on the proposed mining areas. <br />B. Air Quality - Information from the Colorado Department of Health, <br />Division of Air Pollution, states there is no site specific air <br />quality data available. The only information available is for Region <br />12, of which Jackson County is a part.
