No. 2 Dam Pipeline. The new pipeline will tie into the existing line that currently conveys water <br />from Warren's Pump Station to Tenmile Tailings Pond. The new pipeline will cross Robinson <br />Tailings Pond to the Lime Station, and will end at an existing ditch that drains to Tenmile Pond. <br />2. Construction of water treatment sludge cells on the east side of Tenmile Tailings Pond. <br />By this letter, and in accordance with Rule 7.3 of the Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rules of the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board, DMG hereby approves the design drawings. Upon completion of these projects, <br />please provide a certification by a professional engineer or other qualified person confirming that the <br />facilities were constructed in accordance with the approved design plans. Remember that no process <br />water or sludge maybe routed to the new facilities until the certification has been accepted by DMG <br />(Rule 7.3.1(5)). Also, DMG will be inspecting these and other on-going reclamation and environmental <br />protection projects at Climax during September, 2005. We will be in contact with you to schedule the <br />inspection. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at 303-866-4063. <br />Sincerely, ~; ~ <br />/ ~//~ - /~ <br />Allen C.
