<br />r <br />CM0001629 <br />EAGLE RIVER VALLEY RECLAMATION <br />SCOPING DOCUMENT <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />This report presents an evaluation of reclamation measures applicable for the Eagle River Valley <br />(ERV), located adjacent to the Climax Mine, Colorado. The purpose of this report is to provide <br />Cyprus Climax Metals Company (Climax) with a "road map" to meeting its reclamation <br />objectives for the valley. These objectives include: <br />• Removing mining impacts from the valley; <br />• Developing fresh water storage within the valley using the Eagle Park Reservoir <br />and, optionally, Robinson Lake; and <br />• Adopting a proactive stance to reduce the environmental liabilities of Climax in <br />the ERV. <br />Each reclamation measure for the ERV was evaluated as a stand-alone "module." This approach <br />was adopted to provide Climax with flexibility in choosing the reclamation measures for the ERV <br />that suite its corporate goals. <br />Cost and time estimates also are presented for each reclamation measure. The cost estimates can <br />be used by Climax to assess the cost-benefit ratio of reclamation. <br /> <br />° _ _?-= Environmental
