The on-the-ground results of your hard work at Seneca li West Mine will serve <br />as an enduring reminder of successful coal mine reclamation. <br />In making this award, we acknowledge the fine forest habitat you have created and your <br />special efforts using drip irrigation to establish native aspen. This high quality <br />reclamation is a model for the coal industry. <br />Congratulations on winning the National Award for Excellence in Surface Mining.
