OF ?yq <br />For Wildlife- <br />For People <br />The Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) has reviewed the Climax Molybdenum Company Henderson Mine and <br />Mill request to update and correct the Henderson Mine project boundaries in the mining plan. This facility is <br />located in or near Section 23, Township 2S, Range 78W, 6`'' Principle Meridian in Grand County, Colorado. <br />CDOW appreciates the opportunity to comment on this mining permit application and would like to provide the <br />following information. <br />This amendment application will correct previous errors in a survey for the Henderson Mine project boundary. It is <br />our understanding that there is no change proposed in the affected land use or acreage of land to be mined at this <br />time. CDOW recommends that as areas of the mine site are disturbed that they be stabilized and reclaimed as soon <br />as possible. Future mining activities will result in tailings ponds increasing in size and the loss of wildlife habitat. <br />These impacts have previously been considered in the current operations plan and no additional impacts from this <br />amendment are anticipated. <br />We have appreciated the opportunity to provide comments on this technical revision application. If you have any <br />questions please contact District Wildlife Manager Mike rosby at 970-725-3627. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lyle .
