projects similar to this award winning Snake River Gravel Pit.  This particular project is so extraordinary and distinctive because of the fact that not only was it a coveted 2004 People's Choice Award for best national reclamation project, but that it was presented by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining as well. Not to mention, it was a very complex and intricate project.  The proposed actions to reclaim the site and restore wetlands were necessary to improve habitat values and to comply with National Park Service (NPS) policies, the Clean Water Act in accordance with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Wyoming Department of  Environmental Quality standards and directives.</div> <bR> <div> PHC-REC was contracted by the State of Wyoming, Abandoned Mine Land Division (AML) to evaluate and eliminate the public safety hazards and environmental degradation associated with sixty-five (65) acres of lands previously disturbed by gravel mining activities within the Snake River floodplain.</div> <bR> <div> A combined $1.3 million was received from a partnership between the Federal Highways Administration (Western Federal lands Highway Division) and the AML in order to complete the investigation, design and reclamation of this project.</div> <bR> <div> In addition to being located with the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Recovery Area, the project site was home to seven (7) different mammal, bird or reptile species that are either listed or are being considered under the threatened and Endangered Species Act.  This included the whooping crane, bald eagle, grizzly bear, the Ute Ladies-tresses, the gray wolf, mountain plover and the western boreal toad.</div> <bR> <div> Under the direction of cooperative effort between PHC-REC, NPS and AML personnel, earthwork activities were conducted by a grading contractor between July and October 2002.  Approximately 350,000 cubic yards of mine reject material and topsoil was reshaped for re-establishment of sedge meadows, willow flats, stream channels, oxbow ponds and upland features.  In 2002 and 2003, an agronomic contractor collected five (5) different species of wetland plants and willow cuttings with live buds, all native to the Snake River floodplain, and stored, germinated and grew the wetland seedlings in an off-site plant nursery.  From mid-June through early July 2002, a total of 602,000 herbaceous plants and 35,000 willows cuttings were planted within the projected site limits.</div> <bR> <div> After a decade since mining activities ceased, the damage to the wetland and riparian ecosystem has been reclaimed in accordance with NPS management policies and legislative mandates.  The success of the Snake River Gravel Pit Project demonstrates that once damaged and considered lost riparian habitat can be reclaimed to its original, pristine condition.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
