Before (August 2010) and After (August 2011) shot of Hope Mine reclamation using compost and a mixture of different rates of biochar (2.5 - 20 ton/acre). Site located south of Aspen, CO at an altitude of 8,700’  Objective was to stabilize slopes which have remain barren for approximatly 60 years.  So far slopes have held well with exceptionally heavy monsoonal rain this year. Monitoring to continue through October 2011, and then again in 2012 and 2013.
