999 <br /> 4r <br /> Kathy Kellogg ilt, <br /> Clean Air Committee <br /> Box 3133 OCT 211986 <br /> Breckenridge, CO 80424 <br /> October 20, 1986 <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Board <br /> Department of Natural Resources <br /> 1313 Sherman St. , Room 423 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear Sirs: <br /> Enclosed are two photographs taken Saturday, September 20, 1986 of <br /> the effects of high winds on the Climax tailings ponds at Fremont Pass. <br /> They were taken on a return trip from Leadville to my home at Farmers <br /> Corner between Frisco and Breckenridge. The air cleared considerably <br /> in the vicinity of Ten Mile Canyon into Frisco, but the dust was <br /> carried into the Farmers Corner area and was visible in the air when <br /> I arrived there. The next morning my deck and car were covered with <br /> a fine white dust which is not usually present. <br /> The County Planning Department staff advised we report this to you. <br /> We are also sending photos to the Air Pollution Control Division. <br /> Our Board of County Commissioners has been advised. <br /> We request that you investigate the Climax tailings ponds and whether <br /> or not a violation is present if you have not yet done so. It is our <br /> concern—tYa:t--th-iCg-pi;o-Ul-e-m may pose a health hazard to Summit and Lake <br /> County residents and vacationers and would like you to share with us any <br /> available information on the situation. As winter approaches, the <br /> ponds will be covered with` snow but before and after that time, high <br /> winds will re-create what you see in the photographs. <br /> Thank you for your early reply. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CLEAN AIR COMMITTEE <br /> Kathy ellogg <br />
