The permit and reclamation plan was formally <br /> amended and approved by the Board in October following several <br /> years of work. The affected area was remapped and timelines were <br /> changed to reflect the "swing producer" status of the operation. <br /> Mining activity resumed in the underground portion of the mine and <br /> continued into 1990. Climax will produce and mill ore as the <br /> market dictates. The financial warranty was reduced from $25 million <br /> to $18, 600, 000 as approved by the Board. <br /> Reclamation work at the site focused on general completion of the <br /> activities in ' the Arkansas drainage, completion of the haul road <br /> overpass allowing trucks access to the Robinson tailing pond, and <br /> initiation of capping of the Mayflower tailing dam and beach area <br /> with growth medium obtained from an adjacent barrow site. <br /> Topsoiling was completed in the Arkansas area and newly topsoiled <br /> areas were seeded with the Climax mix. Willow cuttings were planted <br /> in the upper portion of this site to assist in stabilizing the river <br /> channel . Seeding from 1988 and 1987 showed excellent success . Additional <br /> minor work will take place in 1990 in this area. <br /> Approximately 95% of the Mayflower tailing dam and 90% of the beach <br /> area of the Mayflower tailing pond were covered with 12-24 inches of <br /> material excavated from the adjacent borrow area. This material is <br /> a sandy loam with an organic matter content of 2. 8"o. During 1990, <br /> this area will be amended and seeded with the standard Climax <br /> technology. In addition, reclamation test ' pl6ts'will be established <br /> as per the amended reclamation plan. <br /> f/41-- <br /> �:7 <br /> ture Jeff ey W.
