TR -18 to Permit M- 1977 -342 <br />Environmental Protection Plan <br />18. WILDLIFE PROTECTION <br />Since the initial planning process for the Henderson Project in the late 1960s, wildlife resources <br />have been recognized by Henderson. Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) personnel were <br />involved in all early planning stages, and this relationship has continued over the past 25 years. <br />Information and data developed during planning is included in Section 6.3 of the Mining and <br />Reclamation Permit. Comments and input into this permit application were solicited from the <br />CDOW by Henderson prior to the initial filing. Although wildlife issues at Henderson have <br />never been significant, Henderson has maintained excellent communications throughout the <br />years with both Regional Office personnel and the local District Wildlife Managers at the Mine <br />and Mill sites. <br />In addition, Amendment 03 to the Permit included plans for wetland mitigation and forest <br />management strategies that Henderson is continuing to pursue. These practices will improve <br />habitat on Mine and Mill property, and have a positive influence on area wildlife. <br />18.1. Statement of Zero Mortalities <br />Since commencing operations, neither the Henderson Mine nor the Henderson Mill has <br />experienced or documented any wildlife mortalities attributable to mining - generated process <br />water, designated chemical releases, or acid producing materials. <br />Climax Molybdenum Company <br />Henderson Operations <br />October, 2012 <br />Page 39 of 40 <br />
