<br />The best thing that I can see for reclamation of this site is that first the entire spoils pile be mined. <br />I think all are in agreement with this. <br />The entire area surrounding the site is zoned RC-recreational except for a small area at the <br />unincorporated town of Garfield which is zoned R-1 residential and a small strip on the highway <br />at Garfield where the ski lodge and snowmobile horse rental is located which is Zoned C- <br />commercial. Wildlife wise, the most significant is a small but growing herd of bighorn sheep. <br />They hang out at the quarry and do not seem to mind the activity there. Snowmobilers are using <br />the area in winter. It has had quite extensive use this winter. <br />I would think that twenty years from now, as today, the area would be used for recreation and <br />.s wildlife habitat. The crushing tipple would be left for its historical value and any structure that <br />,'~ might be constructed to house and maintain equipment would remain if it would facilitate a <br />recreational use. I will furnish the maps, water arrangements with the State Engineer and <br />agreement with the Forest Service when I have authority from U. S. Lime & Minerals to proceed <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />JS:as <br />cc: Johnney Rowers <br />
