Only Site L and a small portion of Site M remain unreclaimed under this permit. Attached is a map which shows the four claims covered under this mining permit. The 14 permitted excavation sites are labeled by letters A through N and are indicated by dashed lines, either rectangular or circular, on the map. An orange area within a permitted site indicates an open excavation where work will resume during next season. Presently there is one at Site L, crossing onto Site M. Green shaded areas are excavations that have been refilled, recontoured, and reseeded. Blue shaded areas indicate reclamation over 80 percent regrowth.
