FAX NO.: 925/284 -3065 <br />FROM: Allen Sorenson <br />MESSAGE TO RECIPIENT: <br />John, <br />With the difficulty we've had connecting on the phone, and looking at my schedule <br />for the next two weeks when I will be out of the office much of the time, I thought <br />I could fax you the information you requested on Climax Mine status. <br />Activities that have been conducted since the update I provided in February 2001: <br />1. Water management and treatment in compliance with NPDES permits. <br />2. Grading, seeding and fertilizing in eleven separate areas of the mine property <br />in compliance with mined land reclamation permit. Also planted 8000 tree and <br />shrub seedlings. <br />3. Application of limestone and biosolids on the rock capped areas of Robinson <br />and Mayflower tailing ponds. The Climax Mine Revegetation Biosolids <br />Partnership received a national award from EPA during 2001 for this work. <br />4. Initiated a rigorous site wide weed control program. <br />5. Continued dust control operations on the uncapped portions of the tailing <br />ponds. <br />6. Upgraded the seepage cutoff facility and pump back station below the <br />Robinson process water pond. <br />7. Replaced the process water pipeline that transports water collected at 5 -shaft <br />and the Storke Yard up to the treatment facilities at Climax Camp. <br />Bill Owens <br />Governor <br />If you have any questions, you can reach me at 303/866 -4063. <br />-Allen <br />DATE: 4/2/05 NUMBER OF PAGES TO FOLLOW: 0 <br />PROGRAM: MINS.
