Although this <br /> quantity of material is de minimis compared to the hundreds of thousands of tons of waste rock <br /> which is managed as part of the reclamation plan, this deposition is described for your <br /> information and review. <br /> Information has similarly been provided to the Colorado Department of Health, <br /> Hazardous Waste Division (Glenn Mallory) and the Chairman of the Lake County <br /> Commissioners (James Martin). Approvals for this activity have been granted by both entities. <br /> This correspondence is attached. <br /> As you may note in the attached correspondence, there is a reference to 150 pounds of <br /> radioactive ore samples. Although this material has been characterized and found to be below <br /> levels of concern, we are holding it aside and will not dispose of it until permission is granted <br /> by the Radiation Control Division. Once such permission is received, we will dispose of the <br /> material as part of this technical revision. <br /> We appreciate your offer to expedite this review and notify us this week. We would very <br /> much like to commence hauling the ore samples during the week of October 12th, prior to the <br /> onset of winter conditions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> E, <br /> Robert R. Dorfler <br /> General Superintendent, Climax Mine <br /> Climax, Colorado 80429 Phone: (719) 486-2150 Telecopier Ext. 540 <br />
