P 439 322 547 <br /> Re : Climax Mine Permit No . 7 -493 Technical Revisions TR-005 <br /> Gentlemen : <br /> The issues relative to TR-005 which the Division has <br /> requested clarification are addressed 'herein as follows : <br /> 1 . Bonding for reclamation of the former Moiy-Oxide Pond. <br /> In the most recent corres�,ondence , the Division states <br /> that the "project must be properly bonded since the <br /> approvec end ! and use of Developed Water Resources <br /> cannot be attained without removal of the tailings . " As <br /> stated in the technical revision application , removable <br /> of the tailings is t",e most feasible method for Climax <br /> purposes of a-Ffectinq the reservoir conversion . This <br /> statement was not intended to imply that it was the only <br /> method of conversion . In studies by independenit <br /> consulting engineering firms , removal of the tailings is <br /> but one caption of several different alternatives which <br /> could be utilized to affect the same final use . . The <br /> estimated cost that was presentee in tre technical <br /> revision application was for redevelopment , and not <br /> reclamation of the facility . Climax will adequately <br /> address any bonding issues in the requested information <br /> that wi ! ! be submitted to the Div lion relative to the <br /> forthcoming bond review <br /> 2 . Surface water impact during the tailing relocation process . <br /> The Division is welcome to inspect any of the spill <br /> prevention facilities , and maKe any recommendations , <br /> however the final regulatory authority as to the adequacy <br /> of any ID ! containment and prevention facilities will <br /> be tree Colorado Department of !-lea ! to Water Qua i i ty <br /> Control Division since .ai1v potential discharges would <br /> fail under their jurisdiction and the Clean Water Act and <br /> NPDES requIatIons . <br /> Climax, Colorado 80429 Phone: (719) 486-2150 Telecopier Ext. 540 <br />
