Currently the approved plan calls for the land to be reclaimed to agricultural use. <br />Eagle County through its "Recreation Master Plans" worked with LaFarge West to reclaim <br />the Area "A" Phase to conform to this plan. Additional areas within the mining permit fall <br />under this Master Plan. The requested amendment to the application is a technicality that <br />must be addressed in order for the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) to consider <br />any future reduction of the Financial Warranty or release of reclaimed lands under the DMG <br />approved plan.
