BANTA, Director <br /> December 15, 1987 <br /> Mr. John D. Farr <br /> Arrow Insurance Management, Inc. <br /> P.O. Box 250 <br /> 695 Summit Blvd. <br /> Frisco, Colorado 80443 <br /> Re: Amax Tailings on North Ten Mile, Summit County <br /> Dear Mr. Farr: <br /> Thank you for your letter regarding the problem with blowing tailings at the <br /> Climax Mine. We are well aware of the problem and have been working with <br /> Climax and the Colorado Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division <br /> on both short term action and long term site reclamation. The Air Pollution <br /> Control Division approved a dust suppression plan in December, 1986 which was <br /> implemented for the first time in 1987. This plan will probably be modified <br /> as necessary however you may want to contact the Air Pollution Control <br /> Division for more information. I am forwarding a copy of your letter to that <br /> agency. <br /> We have found that most of the dust generation occurs on the dam faces and the <br /> long term reclamation plan calls for covering these faces with rock. The <br /> company has indicated that they will begin implementing this part of the plan <br /> in 1988. The currently approved reclamation plan for the tailings calls for <br /> covering the tailings with waste rock and then depositing a mixture of wood <br /> chips and sewage sludge on the rock. This would. be followed by seeding and <br /> hopefully vegetation establishment. <br /> I hope I have provided you with all the information you need. If you have any <br /> questions or need any additional information, please contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Anne C. Baldrige <br /> Reclamation Specialist <br /> ACB/bdc <br /> 3971 F <br /> 423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel. (303) 866-3567 <br />
