The <br /> designated 1.37 acres is located adjacent to Kokomo Gulch in the area between 3-dam and the <br /> Mayflower tailing pond. The parcel is forested, and has not been disturbed by operations <br /> conducted by Climax Molybdenum Company. Neither was there any indication of any historic <br /> mining related disturbance on the 1.37 acre parcel. Limited tree cutting had occurred on the <br /> parcel at some time in the past. It was determined that this 1.37 acre parcel meets the <br /> criteria for release from the area of affected land. <br /> The 1.37 acre area proposed to be added to the area of affected land was inspected. This <br /> area is a pre-existing road that will be the installation site for a surge line associated <br /> with the new 5-dam pumpback line. The pre-existing road angles from the 5-dam crest up to <br /> the West Interceptor Canal access road. A section of the Mayflower Pond decant water return <br /> line is buried under the road that is proposed for addition to the area of affected land. <br /> Several manholes associated with this decant water return line were observed; this water line <br /> is not currently in use. The cut slope associated with this road has been stabilized by <br /> placement of gabions. <br /> The 40 foot wide swath that is being permitted for installation of the surge line will be <br /> more than wide enough to facilitate construction. However, the operator will have to <br /> exercise some caution to assure that excavated material is not cast off the downhill side of <br /> the road during construction operations. <br /> In order to finalize the technical revision TR-010 process, Climax must provide proof of <br /> newspaper publication. If no adverse, pertinent public comment is received by the twentieth <br /> day following the date of the last newspaper publication, the Division will process the TR- <br /> 010 approval. <br /> CC: Carl Mount, DMG <br /> I & E Contact Address <br /> ❑ CE <br /> NAME Bryce Romig ❑ BL <br /> OPERATOR Climax Molybdenum Company ❑ FS <br /> STREET Climax Mine ❑ HW <br /> CITY/STATE/ZIP Climax.
