SHERMAN, SECRETARY, MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARD <br /> FROM: DR. JERIS A. DANIELSON, DEPUTY STATE ENGINEER <br /> SUBJECT: CLIMAX MINE, SUMMIT, EAGLE AND LAKE COUNTIES, APPLICATION FOR <br /> MINING AND RECLAMATION PERMIT <br /> As requested by your staff, we have reviewed the above referenced application <br /> for the underground and open-pit molybdenum mine located on Fremont Pass. <br /> The applicant's water rights are shown to be adequate for the mining operation, <br /> primarily through past experience since the operation has been operating <br /> at its present capacity for several years. <br /> The water requirements for the reclamation plan appear minimal for the <br /> revegetation aspects of the plan. The storage of water in Glory Hole Lake <br /> may require approval of an exchange plan or transfer of water rights through <br /> the Division Water Court to replace water lost to this storage and evaporation <br /> losses from the tributary drainage. In that these Water Court applications <br /> will not be required until mining is completed and the applicant presently has <br /> sufficient water resources legally available, we have no objections to the <br /> approval of the application. <br /> J ris A.
