Re: Damage Compensation Agreement - Climax Molybdenum Company,
Climax Mine - Permit # M-1977493
Dear Mr. Exline:
Climax Molybdenum Company is amending its Colorado Mined Land Reclamation permit
associated with the Climax Mine, Permit #M-1977-493, AM-06, to adjust the affected land
boundary of the Climax Mine to previously-permitted size in order to encompass areas
anticipated to be required for mine operations based on current mine plans, and to provide
updated information, based on the current status of planning and engineering activities.
:Regulations pursuant to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, C.R.S. § 34-32-101 et seq.
(MLRA), require the permit applicant to provide a notarized agreement between the applicant
and the person(s) having an interest in structures located within two hundred (200) feet of the
affected land, stating that the applicant will compensate the owner for any damage to the stability
of the structure to the extent that it is caused by mining operations on Climax's property that
occur within the affected land boundary. Xcel Energy owns the structures listed below.
Climax Molybdenum Company agrees to provide Xcel Energy compensation for any damage to
the stability of the structures listed below to the extent it is caused by the proposed mining
operations within the affected land boundary. Please note that Climax has no reason to believe
that damage to the structures below will be caused by the proposed mining operation.
Your acknowledging signature and a notary seal in the space provided below should satisfy the
MLRA reimbursement requirement. Please return this agreement in the enclosed addressed and
stamped return envelope at your earliest possible convenience, within-3 0 days of receiving it if at
all possible.
