DIVISION"or- r,'FCL4MAT10N ✓3 Violations: MV: MINING&SAFETy January 27, 2017 1995-067, 2006-054 & 2016-056 RE: M1990-041,Request for Technical Revision (TR-3),Mill Structure Dear Mr. Cunningham, In response to the Colorado Division of Reclamation,Mining and Safety("DRMS") letter of November 22, 2016, Central City Consolidated Mining Company hereby submits and requests approval for a Technical Revision to DRMS permit number M1990-041 regarding the Golden Gilpin Mill, all buildings and ancillary structures and their existence post-reclamation. Your letter specifically stated that "...you may submit a Technical Revision to demonstrate that the mill building is in conformance with local zoning ordinances and to demonstrate that the building has been designated as a historical structure by the State Historic Preservation Office. Upon demonstration that the mill building can remain after the life of the mine, the Division will reevaluate the financial warranty estimate". We respectfully submit the enclosed Technical Revision regarding the mill building which includes verification from the City of Blackhawk, within which the mill resides,that the building is in conformance with local zoning ordinances. We also submit verification regarding the historic nature of the structure(s). Upon researching the designation of historical structures,we find that, although the Golden Gilpin mill building is not specifically listed, it is included within the Central City-Black Hawk Historic District, a site listed in the United States Department of the Interior National Register of Historic Places. It is very common for buildings and sites to be considered"contributing"to the character and heritage of the larger district but NOT be individually listed. We provide the Registration Form for the original listing and reference specific language within the document that makes clear,the inclusion of the Golden Gilpin mill site as"contributing"to and a valuable part of the Central City- Black Hawk Historic District. Please note that there was nearly one month's time from submittal of the request(application) on December 14, 2016 to the City of Black Hawk until we received their response on January 13, 2017. We hope that this will not affect the Division's ability to reevaluate the financial warranty estimate prior to the enforcement date set by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. 1 of 2
