Several items were discussed. It was felt <br /> by all parties involved that several issues were in need of further <br /> elaboration. <br /> We, therefore, submit the following "points for further discussion" <br /> and request further elaboration of each by Climax. <br /> 1. What percent of all affected or disturbed lands are to be <br /> reclaimed as talus slope? <br /> We have some question as to whether or not a talus slope <br /> can be considered reclamation. If so, is there some action <br /> that can be taken to decrease slippage and promote plant <br /> growth (i. e. aerial fertilization, seeding, etc. )? Has re- <br /> search been conducted on the subject of talus slope reclamation <br /> and what are the results? <br /> 2. Slippage of talus slopes can logically be expected to occur. <br /> How much slippage is expected? What will be the final angle <br /> of repose? How much surrounding land will be affected by <br /> the slippage process? Will Climax accept responsibility for <br /> reclamation of adjacent lands affected by the slippage of talus <br /> slopes? <br /> 3. How much subsidence will occur after mining has been completed? <br /> Will this be monitored? Will subsidence force contaminated water <br /> in abandoned mine tunnels to the surface? <br /> DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES,Monte Pascoe, Executive Director • WILDLIFE COMMISSION,Wilbur Redden,Chairman <br /> Donald Fernandez,Vice Chairman •James Smith,Secretary •Jean K.Tool,Member •Vernon C.Williams,Member <br /> Michael Higbee,Member • Sam Caudill,Member 9 Richard Divelbiss,Member <br />
