RE: 5-Dam Pumpback Line Extension Surge Line (TR-07, Environmental Protection Plan);
Affected Land Exchange - New Technical Revision to Permit No. - .
Dear Mr. Sorenson:
Attached to this letter are maps and construction specifications for the 5-Dam Pumpback Line
Extension surge line. Also enclosed are maps associated with an Affected Land Exchange for the
Climax Mine. As discussed during your inspection on September 4, 1997, the Climax
Molybdenum Company (CMC) intends to exchange affected land in the Searle Gulch area for
land situated above the Mayflower Tailing Pond to install a surge line for the extension of the 5-
Dam pumpback line. This extension was described in a letter to you on August 22, 1997.
The following information is being provided per the Division's procedures for exchange of affected
land:
• CMC waives a 30 day decision by the Division for this Technical Revision.
• A check in the amount of$850.00 is attached to cover fees for the exchange.
• Public Notification has been initiated in Summit County with publications for four consecutive
weeks, through October 24, in the Summit County Journal. All exchange lands are located
within Summit County. Climax will provide proof of notification as required.
• There are no access easements or private land holdings within 200 feet of the affected land
exchange. No additional public notifications are therefore required.
• The application has been posted for public review at the Summit County Clerk and
Recorder's Office. Copies of the notification have been provided to the Summit County Board
of County Commissioners and the Soil Conservation Service. Copies of these letters are
attached.
• Bonding for the exchanged land and the newly appropriated affected area can remain equal
at $2,426.00 per acre. No change in the Climax Mine financial surety is foreseen by this
exchange. The reclamation plan covered by Amendments AM-02 and AM-03 remain in place
for all affected acreage.
Pursuant to item No. 2 of the Division's land exchange procedures, please let me know at your
earliest convenience when an inspection can be arranged. Thank you in advance for your review
and acceptance of the surge line placement for the 5-Dam Pumpback Line extension and the '
Affected Land Exchange.
