Pineda <br />Director <br />It is my pleasure to notify you that you have been selected as the 2012 recipient of the Dr. James A. Pendleton <br />Reclamation Award. In the memory of Dr. James A. Pendleton, this award recognizes outstanding <br />individuals for their significant contributions to the reclamation of mined lands in Colorado. You have been <br />selected for your passionate, energetic, and exceptional knowledge about mined land reclamation and for your <br />valuable participation on the Abandoned Mined Land Advisory Board. <br />You are being recognized for your commitment to try new techniques and to continually improve upon what <br />you have learned. This is most apparent as you have sought solutions to the challenges of steep slope <br />reclamation for revegetation and drainage control. You have applied many innovative practices at the Seneca <br />Mines that have resulted in diverse wildlife habitat throughout the reclaimed areas. From the late 1970s <br />through today it is very apparent that reclamation under your supervision has evolved, resulting in the <br />reestablishment of diverse stands of vegetation and exceptional wildlife habitat. Your continuing education <br />through seminars and workshops on range management and regular discussions with Division staff on the <br />applicability of alternative reclamation practices at the Seneca Mines is commendable. <br />The award will be presented at the Awards will be presented at the Colorado Mining Association 115 <br />National Western Mining Conference & Exhibit at the Colorado Convention Center. The awards luncheon <br />will take place on Wednesday, February 27, 2013. <br />Congratulations on your outstanding contributions to the reclamation of mined lands in Colorado.
