RECMVtD <br /> �V4 SUN 2 32017 <br /> 6/19/17 *"$#0N'6AQNGF EGLAMATION <br /> To:CDRMS-1313 Sherman Street, Rm 215, Denver CO 802 &-SAFE <br /> Re:Sunrise Mining's application for amendment of Perm' #M-1981-185(Ma ay Idaho Mine Complex) <br /> From:William Karls 4465 CR 124, Hesperus, CO 81326 (Mailing address:PO Box 91, Hesperus, CO 81326) <br /> 1 am writing concerning"Sunrise Mining's" application for amendment of Permit#M-1981-185(Mayday <br /> Idaho Mine Complex). I am assuming that those involved with this application at CDRMS are well <br /> acquainted with this "project"-previously referred to by various business names-but all in reference to <br /> the Mayday Mining complex near our homes in Mayday/Hesperus CO. Many of the main actors involved <br /> in previous CDRMS applications are still involved with the project-now under a new name. Those <br /> acquainted with the infamous history of this project will also be acquainted with the litany of violations <br /> that occurred at the mining site-leading to past "stop work" orders etc. <br /> I suspect on some level CDMRS's patience has also been tried dealing with this project and the <br /> individuals involved-however, for those living near the mine, you may realize how frustrating it is to <br /> again learn that the Mayday mine is yet again being presented as a viable project despite the <br /> environmental insults and damage that this project has resulted in, not that long ago. It is like living <br /> under a tree that is destined to fall-leaving us to wonder what damage it will result in. <br /> Is there no threshold that is reached where CDRMS says "Enough is enough"? After the Gold King <br /> disaster those in La Plata County wondered why was this not foreseeable? Now the residents of Mayday <br /> again have to watch the process play out in real time. <br /> The Mayday project has been given "one more chance" more than once. I would ask CDRMS to not <br /> amend Sunrise's permit...and to watch and monitor all their activities with a magnified diligence. Their <br /> past history of stretching and disregarding many rules and regulations is entrenched in the methods of <br /> these individuals. Further, the required mitigations ordered by CDRMS should be completed in their <br /> entirety before any adjustments or amendments are considered. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> William Karls, (Property-4465 CR 124; Mailing address: PO Box 91, Hesperus, CO, 81326) <br /> (970 <br />
