The rock samples are currently stored in a warehouse on 44th Avenue and <br /> represent an accumulation spanning over twenty years of exploration and from all over the <br /> world. The material is largely crushed rock stored in manila envelopes, boxes, and in some <br /> cases, fiber or metal drums. <br /> The importation of this material to the Climax Mine for disposal would require a Certificate <br /> of Designation (CD) under the solid waste act (30-20-100.5 et seq). However, because the <br /> material is largely rock and therefore considered inert, it is not felt by this Division that the <br /> CD process is the most expedient way to deal with this material. The CD is issued by the <br /> local governing body having jurisdiction, Lake County in this case. Both this Division and <br /> Lake County would have to agree that a CD would not be required. <br /> On behalf of this Division, I do not feel that a CD is necessary for the disposal of this rock <br /> waste at Climax. I would ask for two things in saying this. First, the disposal of the rock <br /> material should include as little of the container material as is practicable and any remanent <br /> paper etc. should be immediately covered with soil. Second, the radiological information <br /> on the uranium samples (150 pounds of the total) should be forewarded to me so I may <br /> consult with the Radiation Control Division. <br /> A written concurrence from the County is necessary prior to the disposal of these materials <br /> on the Climax site. A disposal site map that indicates the specific area on the Climax <br /> property where the disposal is to occur should be forewarded to this Division. <br />
