That award was in recognition of Trapper's exemplary reclamation efforts <br />with regard to postmine stream channel stabilization and wildlife habitat improvement. The intent of this <br />award application is to demonstrate that the reclamation measures honored in 1991 have continued to prove <br />effective and beneficial over the long-term, and to discuss new innovations and improvements that have <br />occurred at Trapper since 1991. <br />Trapper Mine is proud of its reclamation performance and encourages public tours through the local Chamber <br />of Commerce in Craig, CO. In past years thousands of people, young and old, have visited our mine. We <br />also continue to actively share in the exchange and transfer of the reclamation technologies we have <br />developed. <br />The enclosed narrative highlights two primary activities: (1) the design and implementation of innovative <br />sediment and erosion control practices, and (2) successful wildlife habitat improvement practices. <br />
