As a result of <br /> property exchanges, a large portion of the Coal Basin Mine is now <br /> located on Forest Service lands. The Division has worked closely <br /> with Forest Service personnel to develop reclamation concepts at <br /> Coal Basin. We have been active with local citizens groups, <br /> addressing reclamation plans and concepts. We are also sponsoring <br /> a community based volunteer tree planting effort in order to help <br /> develop and maintain long term community interest in Coal Basin. <br /> Minerals and Geology is in the process of accomplishing reclamation <br /> of this previously permitted coal mine with funds provided through <br /> Federal Bankruptcy proceedings. However, the funds currently <br /> available may eventually prove insufficient to complete the <br /> reclamation process. The Challenge Cost Share provides a unique <br /> opportunity to foster the Federal / State partnership created in <br /> order to accomplish reclamation of this site. <br /> Please feel free to contact David Bucknam or me if you require <br /> further information, or have questions or comments. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Steve Renner <br /> Project Manager <br /> CC: Michael Long <br /> David Bucknam <br /> Loretta Pineda <br /> Cheryl Linden <br /> Kevin Riordan, USFS <br />
