- 7 - <br /> Waste Rock Dump Areas <br /> 1 . If waste rock is not utilized for tailing reclamation, how will the <br /> waste rock piles be reclaimed? Is the existing plan viable? Provide <br /> a detailed reclamation plan that includes upland drainage control , <br /> stability analyses, local water quality protection, revegetation, etc. <br /> 2. How will acid drainage from the waste rock piles be handled if the <br /> rock is reclaimed in place? <br /> Arkansas Aggregate Area <br /> 1 . The existing plan indicates that the Arkansas Aggregate area settling <br /> ponds are/were used to retain industrial water runoff. How has this <br /> runoff affected the area, and will the reclamation (1987) of this <br /> area introduce acid or toxic producing materials into the Arkansas <br /> River? <br /> Mine Openings <br /> 1 . Discuss specific mine opening closure plans and criteria. <br /> Reclamation Schedule <br /> 1 . The amended plan should provide a revised reclamation schedule. <br /> Reclamation should begin as soon as possible. <br /> Wildlife Impacts <br /> 1 . There were many questions generated during the initial application <br /> process regarding the impacts to wildlife and necessary mitigation <br /> procedures. Apparently, many meetings occurred between AMAX and <br /> Division of Wildlife personnel . There is, however, little <br /> information in the existing file regarding the resolution of these <br /> issues. It may be appropriate to request an updated wildlife impact <br /> statement, to be included in the amendment. This would be a good <br /> opportunity to assess impacts on wildlife during the past ten years, <br /> and to evaluate any necessary revisions to the wildlife impact <br /> mitigation program at Climax. <br /> Financial Warranty Issues <br /> 1 . We will assess the current financial warranty amount as this process <br /> progresses. <br /> /sak <br /> 9117F <br />
