This will be accomplished by <br /> completion of subsidiary goals, including (1) Installation of a mine source controls remediation <br /> project; (2) Demonstrate technology which has a broad application to other high altitude, sediment <br /> generating disturbances; (3) Disseminate information to environmental professionals, land use <br /> planners and mining and construction professionals. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Coal Basin Mine is a complex of five underground coal mines <br /> located in the head waters of the Coal and Dutch Creek watersheds in western Pitkin County at an <br /> elevation of 10,000 feet. Below the Mine and Fan entries are long, steep slopes composed of <br /> unconsolidated material excavated during construction of the facilities. These slopes are devoid of <br /> vegetation, and experience a significant amount of erosion annually. Approximately twenty-one <br /> acres of these slopes exist, and will be treated during completion of this Project. <br />
