INTRODUCTION - TECHNICAL REVISION BASIS <br /> The precipitate generated at the Mt . Emmons - Keystone Mine <br /> Water Treatment facility located 3 miles west of Crested Butte , <br /> Colorado has been transported and deposited at the Climax Mine <br /> Mayflower Treatment Pond since the Mt . Emmons facility <br /> commenced operation in 1981 . During several site inspections of <br /> the Climax Mine by representatives of the Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Division (MLRD) , over the past few years , the <br /> deposition of the Mt . Emmons precipitate has been discussed . <br /> Although the Division was aware of the precipitate deposition , <br /> there appeared to be no relevant concerns . The most recent <br /> Minerals Program inspection Report for the Ciimax Mine , based <br /> upon the September 28 , 1993 inspection by Division <br /> representatives , now requires a Technical Revision of the <br /> Climax MLRD Permit No . 77-493 for deposition of the Mt . Emmons <br /> precipitate . Since the deposition of the Mt . Emmons <br /> precipitate was not addressed in the original MLRD Permit No . <br /> 77-493 nor the 1989 Amendment , the Climax Mine is herein <br /> submitting documentation to support a. Technical Revision of the <br /> Permit . <br /> 2 - <br />
