Our inspections have <br />revealed that no substantial activity has taken place within the project area <br />over the years since the plan of operations was approved. <br />In light of the above circumstances and pursuant <br />above, we are requesting that the structures and <br />site and reclamation of the area be accomplished <br />1993.
