Climax Molybdenum Company (Climax and Henderson Mines) <br /> hosted the 1975 Solid Mineral Waste Stabilization Liaison Com- <br /> mittee at Vail , Colorado. The committee is comprised of indivi- <br /> duals representing mainly the industrial and academic interests, <br /> but also State and Federal agencies involved with the reclama- <br /> tion of mineral waste areas. Most of the members of the com- <br /> mittee are field-oriented and the free exchange of information <br /> and solutions on the practical level have made this committee <br /> one of the most active and realistic groups involved in the <br /> reclamation problems inherent with mineral development. <br /> 9. 16 SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE RESEARCH PLOTS AND UPPER <br /> COLORADO ENVIRONMENTAL PLANT CENTER <br /> In 1975 , Climax became involved with other interested <br /> parties in the development of a new plant material center in the <br /> Upper Colorado Region. Two Soil Conservation Districts, Douglas <br /> Creek and White River, were particularly interested and agreed <br /> to accept the responsibility of owning and operating the center, <br /> located near Meeker, Colorado. Climax along with other comp- <br /> anies, State and Federal agencies , and private sources donated <br /> funds to make the center a reality. The Center was formally <br /> dedicated during July, 1977 . <br /> One of the priorities of the center is to develop <br /> plant materials for the revegetation of alpine and subalpine <br /> disturbed lands. There are presently two research projects <br /> on-going at Climax , in cooperation with the Upper Colorado <br /> Environmental Plant Center. These being species evaluation <br /> plantings for woody potted plants, and seeded grass and <br /> grass-like plants . <br /> These plots were seeded this summer, and as of yet no <br /> results are available. <br /> 9 . 17 DUST CONTROL RESEARCH <br /> Starting in 1970 , Climax became involved in research <br /> to determine the best method to control fugitive dust rising <br /> from the tailing deposition areas.
