Reclamation at the Belle Ayr coal mine, located
in northeast Wyoming, has reclaimed land disturbed by surface coal
mining since the early 1970s. Land is reclaimed for the pre-mine use of
livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. |
| Reclamation at Belle Ayr also includes mitigation of
historical/archaeological sites such as the Sawyers Rifle Pit site. In
1999, Belle Ayr won Office of Surface Mining’s "Excellence in
Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation Award" for the Sawyers site
mitigation work involving the local community. |
