No property interest of any kind will be transferred <br />as a result of the Board's approval of AM-O5. The effect of Board's approval of DUSEL as apost-mining <br />use will be limited to the Board's regulatory authority under the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, <br />and would in no way constitute an assumption by local, state, or federal governments of a property <br />interest in the Henderson Mine or Mill. <br />If our communications satisfy your concerns over the issuance of Amendment AM-05, we respectfully <br />request that you withdraw your opposition to issuance of this permit. If I can address any additional <br />concerns you may have regarding Amendment AM-O5, please do not hesitate to call me. I can be <br />reached at (303) 569-3221 ext. 1204. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ <br />Bryce Romig <br />Environmental Manager <br />Climax Molybdenum Company <br />cc: Ron Cattany, Colorado DMG <br />Allen Sorenson, Colorado DMG <br />Tanya Light, Colorado AGO <br />Jim Arnold, Climax Molybdenum Company <br />Brian Nazarenus, Ryley, Oarlock & Applewhite <br />Debra Campbell, Grand County <br />
