t 4 <br /> 2. Pursuant to permit M-1980-244, CC&V is obliged to sample seven surface water locations, as well as various <br /> ground water compliance locations, on a quarterly basis. I am requesting the data for the Period of Record. <br /> This includes GV-01 surface location that is no longer monitored. <br /> 3. Following CC&V's movement into Poverty Gulch, and the Schist Island Pit, the town of Cripple Creek has <br /> experienced not only a significant increase in noise, but also in visible particulate emissions. I would like to <br /> request a copy of all Air Quality monitoring data from the area, particularly silica, nitrogen oxides (NOX), <br /> sulphur oxides (SOX), and PM-10. If there is no data, I would like to be informed as to why a large mining <br /> project in near proximity to towns is neglecting to monitor for dust emissions. <br /> 4. Arequa Gulch Valley Leach Fill (AGVLF) Pad permitted elevation and as-built elevation, Squaw Gulch Valley <br /> Leach Fill (SGVLF) permitted elevation and as-built elevation,as well as permitted elevations and as-builts for <br /> the East Cresson Overburden Storage Area (ECOSA). <br /> 5. Where is CC&V's current vibration compliance monitoring being conducted in Cripple Creek and is any <br /> monitoring being conducted of structures within the City, or were any pre-blast surveys performed? Where <br /> is CC&V's current dust compliance monitoring being conducted in Cripple Creek? <br /> 6. In Colorado, and the Western US in general,water use is a large issue. I know that CC&V brings water to site. <br /> I am requesting the amount of water brought to site for water years 2016, 2017,and 2018. I understand that <br /> CC&V may not disclose the quantities of water once it enters the site; however, I believe it is my right as a <br /> citizen of the area to be aware of the quantities of water they use monthly. <br /> 7. On the morning of October 16, 2018, viewing from the front porch of my home, I observed multiple large <br /> fountains of what I presume to be cyanide solution spraying from the top of AGVLF. I know the bench <br /> heights are approximately 100 ft, and from the picture it would appear that one of the sprays is at least 50 <br /> feet high. In the past I have gone about this assuming that it is as permitted; however, after reviewing the <br /> documents on Laserfiche and learning that there may be no ponding larger than 3 ft by 3 ft, I am concerned <br /> about potential environmental and health hazards associated with large cyanide sprays and how far wind is <br /> able to carry them. (Please see associated photographs taken from my porch.) <br /> 8. Questions I asked of CC&V's Mr. Brad Poulson in April 2018, which he summarized in a May 30th email and <br /> have yet to be addressed consist of: Where is CC&Vs current vibration compliance monitoring being <br /> conducted in Cripple Creek and is any monitoring being conducted of structures within the City?; Where is <br /> CC&Vs current dust compliance monitoring being conducted in Cripple Creek?; What is the permitted <br /> height/elevation of the VLF1 and what is the actual height elevation? Please reference attached copy of <br /> email from Mr. Poulson. No further communication was received from him regarding these questions. <br /> I really appreciate the timely turn-around from DRMS and look forward to hearing from you soon about these <br /> concerns. <br /> Thank you,, <br /> Sylece Andromeda <br /> CC: <br /> -aw Tony Waldron,Colorado Division of Reclamation,Mining,and Safety via USPS <br /> Chip Hancock,Construction Permits Colorado Air Pollution Control Division (APCD)via USPS <br /> Steve Witte,Colorado Division of Water Division 2 Engineer via USPS <br /> Brad Poulson,Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mining via USPS <br />
