Since lands within the DRMS permit areas are privately owned, there is no federal <br />land management agency regulation of the site. The singular exception to this private land ownership is <br />the Humbug extension of Supply Canal No. 1, which is located on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) land and <br />permitted with a Special Use Permit from the USFS. The USFS administers lands surrounding Climax. <br />Specifics of environmental protection measures and monitoring as required by Rule 6.4.21(3) are <br />discussed in Section T -2.2, and in Sections T -5, T -6, and T -7 herein. <br />T - 2.2 Specific Permits and Authorizations <br />The Climax Mine operates under numerous specific regulatory permits. Permits pertaining to <br />environmental controls are regulated by the State of Colorado and are public information. Copies of <br />these permits and authorizations are available at the agencies listed and at the Climax Mine <br />environmental office or in the safety files (in the case of the radiation license). Table T -1, below, lists the <br />permits, licenses and authorizations for the Climax Mine as of the date of this plan revision. <br />Table T -1: Climax Mine Permits and Authorizations <br />EPP: Version R2 <br />T -6 <br />December 2011 <br />
