2.2 Dust Control <br />Annual dust control activities continue as in past yeazs. An overhead watering system <br />was developed and successfully employed on the Robinson Reservoir beach azeas. In <br />addition, a''/a mile long experimental wind snow fence was installed along the east end of <br />3-Dam. Initial evaluations as to the effectiveness of this fence will be made in 2006. <br />2.3 2005 DMG Inspection <br />Messrs. Allen Sorenson and Carl Mount inspected Climax in September 2005. The <br />primary thrust of this inspection was tailing dam stability. During the inspection, two <br />issues arose. The first issue was an azea of minor erosion on 1-Dam. This azea was <br />repaired later that day. The second azea of concern was along the west groin of 3-Dam <br />where the traverse road water diversion was somewhat blocked. Before this small azea <br />could be repaired, winter conditions blocked access. This azea will be repaired in 2006. <br />2.4 Topsoil <br />As part of the Visual Enhancement Reclamation project discussed in Section 1.3, <br />approximately 11,000 cubic yazds of topsoil material was located and salvaged from the <br />toe of F-Dump (between E-Dump and F-Dump). Some of this material was moved to the <br />top of F-Dump for use on that facility in 2006. Both stockpiles were seeded and signed. <br />In addition, all known topsoil stockpiles on the Climax site were located, inspected <br />visually, and signed appropriately. Many of these stockpiles aze in excess of 25 years <br />old. All were well vegetated and stable. <br />2.5 Weed Control <br />Climax's program of weed control continued in 2005. A copy of the final report on 2005 <br />weed control activities by Habitat Management, Inc. is attached. <br />3.0 2006 Activities <br />Scheduled reclamation and construction activities at Climax during 2006 will be as <br />extensive as 2005. The following reclamation-related projects aze being planned: <br />• Completion of Robinson Tailings Impoundment reclamation. <br />• Restoration of the East Fork Arkansas River channel through the <br />Storke Yazd (planned as a 2+ yeaz restoration project). <br />• Remediation and reclamation of historical mine waste from Seazle <br />Gulch. <br />• McNulty Waste Rock Dump grading work. <br />• Experimental reclamation project on Ceresco Ridge outslope. <br />• Continued visual enhancement reclamation projects. <br />• Assessment of Lake Irwin far wetlands development. <br />• Sitewide materials and growth media survey. <br />
