| 2005 Reclamation Awards Portland, Oregon: Turning a quarry into the single largest development undertaken in Beaverton in the last 10 years highlights the 2005 Reclamation Awards presented by the Mineral Land Regulation and Reclamation Program (MLRR) of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). Another highlight is this year’s Oregon Plan award winner, who workd with the McKenzie River Watershed Council to create an artificial alcove and turtle nesting area along a channel of the Willamette River in Lane County. Each year the MLRR office, with an independent panel of experts, selects specific mine sites and operators to receive awards for outstanding reclamation, mine operation and salmon protection (The Oregon Plan Award).The awards, based on an operator’s performance during the previous year, were presented at the Oregon Concrete and Aggregate Producers Association (OCAPA) annual conference in June, 2005. “We consider these awards important recognition to those owners and operators that go beyond the basic requirements of rules and regulations,” said Vicki S. McConnell, State Geologist. “By using innovative ideas and responsible techniques of reclamation they are working to improve the environment and be good neighbors.” “The companies we recognize with these annual awards really show a deep commitment to the environment and the communities where they are based,” notes Gary Lynch, Assistant Director of Regulation for DOGAMI’s MLRR office. “It’s also an encouragement to others in the mining industry to follow suit.” To learn more about each 2005 award winner, click on the name: Oregon Plan Award - Delta Sand & Gravel Company, Lane County Contact: Alan & Lee Babb or George Staples - 541-688-2233.
