Supplementary Information to <br /> 1984 Annual Report, Climax Mine <br /> March 21, 1985 <br /> Page 5 <br /> We try to mention other, minor disturbances which may have <br /> occurred during the year. An example is item No. 5 of the current <br /> Report which points out that an access road required minor re- <br /> routing ( 1 . 1 acres of disturbance ) because it would soon be <br /> inundated with tailing. <br /> With regard to a breakdown of the various acreages from the <br /> cost calculations, by the end of 1986 we expect to have affected a <br /> total of 4, 747 acres. Of that total , approximately 407 acres had <br /> been revegetated by December 1984 or were slated for permanent use <br /> such as lakes or roads . The cost calculations are our way of <br /> responding to the items in Rule 2. 41 regarding the locations and <br /> numbers of acres affected in previous years , acres reclaimed and <br /> partially reclaimed in previous years , and acres to be affected in <br /> the future. <br /> Interpretation of the system we have established for account- <br /> ing for buffer acreage is complicated. For example , as Area 31 <br /> ( the Mayflower Tailing Pond) grows , it displaces (offsets ) buffer <br /> acreage of the adjacent Areas 23, 25, 26 and 27. The cost esti- <br /> mate is not influenced because it is buffer land that is dis- <br /> placed. We may simplify the system sometime in the next couple of <br /> years by consolidating some of the areas. <br /> We hope this adequately responds to your questions . Please <br /> call if you have additional questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Larry F. Brown <br /> Deputy Director, <br /> Environmental Control <br /> LFB/a <br /> Attachment <br />
