| Impact Report | Dillon Canyon Mine Reclamation The agent has been working with River Source and agency out of Santa Fe, New Mexico that has been hired through a grant to conduct a restoration project on the Vermejo Park Ranch. The agent organized three separate demonstration tours of the old mine the first two were for producers and the third one was for youth. The first tour had 16 participants, the second tour had 12 participants, and the youth tour had six. The tours included identifying native vegetation versus non-native, water samples, and erosion control strategies. There was also a speaker that grew up in the Dillon Mine Camp so he would start off all the tours explaining how life was in a mining camp. The reclamation work is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2012. Then the same individuals will go back and help with the planting of the native vegetation and testing the water to see if the quality has improved. |
