Box 1415 <br /> Boulder, CO 80306-1415 Executive Director <br /> Michael B Long <br /> RE: Discharge to the Ten Mile Tailing Pond, Climax Mine, Division Director <br /> Climax Molybdenum Company, Permit No. M-77-493 <br /> Dear Mr. Berman: <br /> Thank you for your letter dated July 31, 1997 requesting information related <br /> to a discharging concrete pipe located between highway 91 and the Ten Mile <br /> Tailing Pond at the Climax Mine. On August 18, 1997, an inspection was <br /> conducted at the Climax Mine to investigate your concerns, and the enclosed <br /> inspection report has been filed. As the inspection report describes, the <br /> discharging concrete pipe is internal to the Climax Mine water management and <br /> treatment system, resulting in no pollutant loading to waters of the state . <br /> In your letter dated July 31, 1997, you also requested information about a <br /> discharge to Clear Creek located below the Argo Mill at Idaho Springs . This <br /> discharge is not associated with any mining operation permitted by the Mined <br /> Land Reclamation Board under the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, as <br /> such, the Division of Minerals and Geology has no information to provide you <br /> regarding this discharge. You may wish to contact the United States <br /> Environmental Protection Agency for information on remediation efforts <br /> related to the Argo Tunnel and the Argo Mill . <br /> If I may be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Allen C. Sorenson <br /> Reclamation Specialist <br /> enclosure (s) <br /> CC: Phil Hegeman, WQCD, (w/enclosures) <br /> Bryce Romig, Climax Mine, (w/o enclosures) <br /> c:\...\climaxcp.wpd <br />
