The land to be reclaimed as the work progress <br />not in the year 2000 when the Mining Company h <br />taken its Gold and is long gone. We suggest th <br />in 1-2'~ acre sections, as mining work is compl <br />total reclamation be also completed. Trees are <br />be removed from said 1-2~acre section and reel <br />to be used on last section. Then as mining con <br />to said second 1-2'~ acre section, previous sec <br />receive trees from second section that has bee <br />shaped to conform with surrounding natural ter <br />top soil returned and re-seeded with natural m <br />ain tundra grasses and wildflowers. Leaving th <br />"Historic Post-mining" is not accectable!!!!!! <br />s, <br />s <br />t <br />to <br />nted <br />inues <br />ion <br />re- <br />a m , <br />unt- <br />area <br />!. <br />3. Restrict hours to 12 or less a day. Five (5) }lays <br />a week, Monday thru Friday. <br />Within a 5 mile radius of Alma there is so much distr ction, <br />pollution, scared remains from mining and current exp otation <br />of our natural beauty, that we MUST stop this constan RAPE <br />and DEATH of our mountains. <br />At 10,000+ feet in elevation it takes a planted pine ree <br />decades to reach maturity, and so much longer than th t if <br />nature is left to re-seed a pine. The grasses and flo ers <br />never grow back on the rock piles left from mining, a 1 that <br />remains is ugly and desolate. <br />To the North of Alma, a Mill site is a constant sourc of <br />air pollution and a health hazard to our community. T is has <br />been seen by Gov. Romer last fall and nothing has bee to <br />correct this problem. A problem that has been in exis ence <br />for several years. <br />The Gulch to the West of Alma, Buckskin Gulch, has be n torn, <br />scared and left in uglyness. I understand L-he mining ompany <br />who wanCS Co do the above land is also in ncgoCitatio s for <br />a Loryc scymenL oC land Ch~L bcyins aC Lhc f~laLLC Riv r and <br />runs through Alma up into Buckskin Gulch, making our oncerns <br />even more viable and in need of support. <br />
