Technical Revision (TR -18) Climax Molybdenum Company <br />Environmental Protection Plan Permit No. M- 1977 -493 <br />T -13 Wildlife Protection <br />• Since the initial planning process for the Climax Mine Mining and Reclamation Permit in the early 1970s, <br />wildlife resources have been important to, and recognized by, Climax. Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />(CDOW) personnel have been involved in the review of permit applications and in planning assistance <br />with various mitigation projects such as in stream habitat improvement in the upper Arkansas River. <br />Information and data developed during permit planning are included in Permit Amendment AM -06, Exhibit <br />H — Wildlife Information. Although wildlife issues at Climax have not been significant, Climax has <br />maintained excellent communications throughout the years with both the regional CDOW office personnel <br />and the local District Wildlife Manager. As described to DRMS (then DMG) in 2005, Climax has <br />implemented a program to observe and report any wildlife related problems or concerns. Employees <br />undergo annual refresher training which discusses observations of site water bodies on a daily basis, how <br />to report concerns if observed, and the importance of reporting observations promptly. This program has <br />been in place for many years and will continue through renewed operations. As part of this program, <br />Climax has worked with local CDOW personnel as necessary. <br />All designated chemicals will be properly stored inside of structures to eliminate exposure to wildlife. <br />Climax process water with high or low pH or elevated metals has not been identified as a problem for <br />wildlife. Wildlife species, including large mammals, waterfowl, and shorebirds are commonly observed <br />using the various water bodies throughout the property without apparent harm. Ongoing reclamation <br />activities decrease the area of process water that wildlife may access, and staged water treatment <br />between the SDP, Tenmile TSF and Mayflower TSF improve water quality in downstream areas, further <br />minimizing potential impacts. Reclamation and reduction of those areas where wildlife may contact <br />process water are continuing activities that serve to minimize potential impacts. <br />Information regarding threatened or endangered species is also included in Permit Amendment AM -06 <br />Exhibit H. <br />• <br />• <br />EPP: Revision R1 <br />T -33 July 2011 <br />
