Kunz <br />386 East 60 South <br />Ivins, UT 84738 <br />Dear Ms. Kunz: <br />TAKE 'RIDE' <br />INAMERICA <br />I am writing in response to your letter of June 28, 2010, concerning the reclamation and future <br />use of the Mary McKinney Mine. <br />Our review of mine patents, abandoned mines, and lands records in this area indicates that this <br />site has been fully in private ownership since 1997, with no remaining Bureau of Land <br />Management (BLM) ownership since that time. BLM hardrock mining permitting regulations <br />only allow BLM review, oversight and permitting on sites that are federal public lands, hence <br />this agency has no authority on these private lands. <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (CDRMS) does review and permit <br />mining activity on private lands in Colorado. We have been in contact with Bruce Stover and <br />12Ry_Waldron�of the CDRMS,, and Mr. Stover has informed us that he has recently been in <br />contact wi you off: this matter,. <br />If we can be of assistance in the future regarding mining sites that are overseen by the BLM, <br />please feel free to contact Join Morrone, BLPv11 Colorado Geologist, at (303) 239 -3722. <br />Sincerely, <br />�/ %2" <br />Helen M. Hankins <br />State Director <br />
