80s Mining Plan of Operations
The High 80 and Middle 80 (80s) claims are located in the Greenhorn Creek Middle watershed in the Sequoia National Forest, in the Greenhorn Mountains of the Kern River Ranger District. Mr. Tim Denny has submitted a request for authorization to mine less than 10 acres of National Forest System land over a period of five years. The Forest Service needs to respond to this proposed plan of operations to locate and recover locatable minerals to assure the methods used will minimize adverse environmental impacts on National Forest Systm lands.
