Plant Ecologist, ESCO Associates Inc., Boulder, Colorado. Serves in design and <br /> execution of baseline quantitative or qualitative vegetation and wetland studies, threatened and <br /> endangered plant surveys, and studies addressing specific revegetation topics. <br />' 1985 t <br />1986 <br />Pl <br />t E <br />l <br />i <br /> o <br />. <br />an <br />co <br />og <br />st, Camp, Dresser 8 McKee Inc., Denver, Colorado. Served in <br /> design and execution of baseline quantitative or qualitative vegetation studies, threatened and <br /> endangered plant surveys, and studies addressing specific revegetation topics. Also developed, in <br />' conjunction with mining clients, reclamation plans for use in mining permit applications. <br />' During this period his work also involved identification of wetlands potentially disturbed by <br />lignite mining in East Texas. Re also was involved with evaluation of the potential for <br /> reclamation of these wetlands. He contributed during this time to on-going efforts to stabilize <br /> tailing associated with the Anaconda copper smelter near Butte, Montana. <br />' <br /> 1980 to 1985. Plant Ecologist, Western Resource Development Corporation, Boulder, <br /> Colorado. During this period, Dr. Buckner conducted vegetation studies for a proposed uranium <br /> mine near Borrego Pass in northwestern New Mexico for Conoco Minerals, a proposed large <br />t potash extraction facility near Moab in eastern Utah for Butte Resources, and the proposed <br /> Carbon Junction coal mine near Durango in southwestern Colorado for Pueblo Coal Company. <br /> Elsewhere in Colorado, he conducted baseline vegetation studies for Dorchester Coal Company, <br />' Mid-Continent Resources, Peabody Coal Company, Powderhorn Coal Company, and Sheridan <br /> Enterprises for the purpose of coal mining permit applications. He also conducted baseline <br /> studies for a large water development on the Colorado River near Kremmling for the Northern <br /> Colorado Water Conservancy District. In Wyoming, baseline vegetation studies were conducted <br />' for the North Antelope and Rochelle coal mines for Peabody Coal, the Keeline coal mine for Neil <br /> Butte Mining Company, and Ruby Ranch uranium mine for Conoco Minerals. <br />' In over half of the above listed baseline studies, Dr. Buckner also developed reclamation plans <br /> for the permit application. He also conducted a baseline vegetation survey for a proposed <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />
