MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID#: M-1977-493 PAGE: 2 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 7-31-08 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ACS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. The construction of the new mill building approved under <br />technical revision TR-14 was underway. Climax is reminded that a <br />stipulation to approval of TR-14 is that a cost estimate be <br />submitted to the Division for decommissioning and demolition of new <br />mill and accessory buildings and for the new tailing delivery line. <br />This is due by January 1, 2009. <br />2. The Arkansas Lake area abandoned utility line discussed in the 9- <br />26-07 inspection report has been removed. Climax completed this <br />project without significant disturbance to the vegetation that has <br />established in the utility corridor in the decades since the line <br />was first installed. <br />3. The Robinson Lake sediment removal project approved under <br />technical revision TR-15 was underway. Sediments are loaded into <br />trucks and are transported to and dumped on the crest of 2-Dam. <br />The sediments then slide or are pushed into Ten Mile Pond. <br />Natural organic sediments excavated from Robison Lake are being <br />hauled to stockpiles along the crest of 1-Dam. The natural <br />sediments may be used as topsoil for reclamation, but first must <br />be tested for metals and agronomic properties in accordance with <br />the terms of TR-15. Also, if these materials are to remain in <br />stockpile, they must be seeded by the end of October 2008. <br />4. The Ten Mile Tunnel rehabilitation project approved under <br />technical revision TR-14 was underway. Both portals of the Ten <br />mile Tunnel were inspected. <br />Inspection & Enforcement Contact Address <br />NAME Johnny Pappas <br />OPERATOR Climax Molybdenum Company <br />STREET Climax Mine <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Climax, CO 80429
