I believe that by being situated within 1.5 miles of the NOI boundary, I am an <br />affected party and my comments should be considered in this matter. <br />I appreciate Black Range Minerals (BLR) notification to DRMS of installation of <br />monitoring wells, since the responsibility for permitting and establishing construction <br />standards for these wells rests with DWR. However, the first question should be: What is <br />the purpose for which these monitoring wells are intended? <br />If they are intended to be monitoring wells for a conventional open pit or an underground <br />mine there is no need — as Mr. Siglin states — to alert DRMS. In a recent article published <br />in the Canon City Daily Record, the method of mining is not going to be conventional. <br />HYPERLINK " http: / /www.canoncitydailyrecord .com/ci- 21064727/black- range- minerals- <br />early- stages- mining? source = email' http:// www.canonciiydailyrecord.com/ci 21064727/ <br />black - ranee- minerals - early- stages - minim ?source =email <br />If they are intended to be monitoring wells for In situ Leach (ISL) mining, there is a need <br />for pre - application requirements, per rule 1.4.3 to be placed upon the monitoring wells. <br />The article also stated that the method will not be ISL. <br />Which method of mining is Black Range Minerals (BLR) stating publicly that they will be <br />using? <br />
