SITE RECLAMATION ACTIVITY
APRIL 1999 TO MARCH 2O00
Reclamation activity during the 1999 reporting year (April 1999 to
March 2000) consisted of site cleaning, maintenance of vegetated
areas, upgrading of the Mayflower Mill and Tailings Pond No. 1
runoff diversions and implementation of the Consent Decree projects
negotiated with CDPHE to provide a mechanism for release from
discharge permits which would then allow final site reclamation to
proceed.
In the following sections of this report, environmental activity
