<br />0 SUMMARY <br />Upon acceptance of this Technical Revision, Climax will begin a program whereby <br />municipally generated biosolids can be transported to the Climax Mine for use as a soil <br />amendment in reclamation and revegetation of high elevation disturbances. This effort, <br />contemplated by the original Climax Reclamation Permit, can provide suitable topsoil for <br />pending reclamation of the Robinson Tailing Pond, and future reclamation of areas <br />throughout the Climax Property. Climax will use the permitted site to produce an <br />optimal soil amendment using the Summit County biosolids. <br />Nitrogen content of the product developed will vary according to storage time, carbon <br />incorporated, moisture relationships, and temperature relationships that facilitate <br />microbial activity. Because of the variability in nitrogen rates, a review of the literature <br />was conducted to assist in determining an initial application rate. Documented results <br />suggest initial rates in excess of 30 tons per acre are suitable for reclamation at a <br />variety of site, and this rate should serve to advance revegetation success at Climax. <br />• <br />•
