Box 68 <br />Empire, Colorado 80438 <br />Metro (303] 271-0107 <br />Out of State 13031 Sfi93221 <br />Fax: [3031 Sfi9~2fi29 <br />^Gr.F~vED <br />r1AY ~~ 0 1996 <br />DIVIBIdn 01 Mln(:f215 ~ Ge0ltlyy <br />Recent discussions between Climax Molybdenum Company (CMC) and the Division have made it clear <br />that it may not be necessary to permit a water treatment facility that treats waste water from both the <br />Henderson Mine and the pre-law Urad Minesite under the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act. CMC <br />would like to propose that the alternative raised in the Division's April 25, 1996 letter be formally <br />considered by the Division. Specifically, CMC will withdraw permit amendment for the proposed <br />combined treatment facility, instead maintaining the facilities, financial warranty, or some combination of <br />both so that a water treatment facility to treat only Henderson Mine water would be available in the event <br />of bond forfeiture by CMC. <br />CMC will commit to the necessary permit conditions and financial warranties for water treatment at the <br />Henderson Mine site and rescind Amendment Application AM-02 currently under consideration by the <br />Division. However, we request a determination by the Division that under such a scenario, the water <br />treatment plan[ at Urad is not subject to the requirements of a reclamation permit. <br />We appreciate the Division's willingness to work towards finding practical solutions to the issues raised by <br />this amendment. We look forward to continued cooperative communication. Please contact me at 271- <br />0107 extension 1397 if you have ary questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~- ~~ <br />Anne Beierle <br />Environmental Coordinator <br />cc: J.
