SECTION 1.0 2011 Annual Reclamation Report <br />As specified by the revisions (1/3/90) to 2CCR 407 -2, 2.04.13, Trapper Mine is submitting an Annual <br />Reclamation Report for the previous calendar year (2011). <br />Historically, section 3.5.3 of Trapper's mining and reclamation permit required a reclamation map be <br />submitted to the CDRMS annually by March 15.
