Ditch (H) and Fremont and Clinton Creek Canal (1) , have also <br /> revegetated naturally. <br /> The Old Tailing Pond (A) was deactivated in 1936; and <br /> during recent years of planning Open Pit development and mining, <br /> reclamation of the tailing area was included as an integral <br /> component of the operation. Approximately 75 million tons of <br /> waste rock will be deposited over the tailing surface and revege- <br /> tated. <br /> In order to expand its operations, Climax has relied <br /> upon land purchases and exchanges which often included packaged <br /> deals with stacked on parcels of land not needed for the opera- <br /> tion. Numerous inactive mines located on these lands are not so <br /> indicated on the base or phase maps nor on the mining and recla- <br /> mation time-table (Table 6. 1) . Climax has already instituted <br /> programs to reduce the visual and environmental impact of these <br /> sites through the course of the mining operation. <br /> 6. 2 AFFECTED LANDS <br /> Climax submits a total of 2 , 941 acres of affected lands <br /> for purposes of bonding during 1978 of Phase II of the mining and <br /> reclamation plan. <br /> Most of the major disturbances associated with all <br /> phases of the mining plan have been referred to in Section 2, <br /> Project Description/Mining Plan, and will be referred to again <br /> only briefly. <br /> 6-3 <br />
