Tony Milligan was a founding member of the TRCR, a past manager of reclamation at the Elkview Mine, and a BC reclamation inspector. Throughout his career, Tony had a keen interest in increasing our understanding of mine reclamation. Each year, the Milligan Book Award is given to the paper at last year’s BC Mine Reclamation Symposium judged to best address technical and practical aspects of reclamation.
Matthew Barnette, Jess Rodgers, and Amanda Schoonmaker were awarded the Tony Milligan Book Award created in recognition of the contributions Tony Milligan made to mine reclamation. This year’s award was presented based on the quality of their paper, “Reclamation at the Site C hydro-electric project”, presented at last year’s symposium.
