The End of Gravel Pit Proposal at Teddy Roosevelt Ranch

Link here to Bismarck Tribune.
Development of a gravel mine near the site of Theodore Roosevelt's historic Badlands ranch in western North Dakota will not continue, a Montana businessman said Wednesday.

Roger Lothspeich of Miles City, Mont., told The Associated Press that he signed an agreement Wednesday with the U.S. Forest Service to work out an exchange for other federal land or mineral rights at a different location.
Forest Service district ranger Ron Jablonski called it "a major change in direction" and said the agency is anxious to work with Lothspeich. He also said the exchange could be for other land or mineral rights on yet-to-be-determined federal land.

I'm glad this story is resolved.
