Concern about noise from generators or pumping stations to move water.There are only two means <br /> of providing power to the Left Hand Creek Pump Station. One is though the installation of <br /> electricity to power the pump. This requires the installation of a pole and a powerline to bring <br /> electricity to the water pump. This can not be accomplished without an easement being granted by <br /> the owners of the Mammoth Millsite. The second method of providing power to the Pump Station <br /> is through the generation of electricity on site. The generator that will be employed to supply <br /> electricity to the pump will be housed in an insulated metal conex and will be muffled to reduce <br /> the noise of its operation. <br /> All of the water quality issues were previously addressed when the Gold Hill Mill was originally <br /> permitted in the answers to public comments, the review by the Gold Hill Committee on Mining <br /> & the Environment, and public meetings that were held in the months between when the permit <br /> was applied for and when it was issued. There are many pages of comments and reports that are <br /> available on the DRMS website regarding this matter. <br /> Contamination of water in case of flood. This has been addressed by moving the Pump House and <br /> fuel storage for the generator well above the Left Hand Creek floodplain and floodway. The <br /> Colorado Milling Company, LLC will be compliance with all of the applicable Rules and <br /> Regulations that apply to the Gold Hill Mill Waterline before anything is installed along the length <br /> of the Water Pipeline Easement Deed. <br /> The Colorado Milling Company, LLC has expended a considerable amount of funds and effort in <br /> restoring the Gold Hill Mill to its original condition inside the building and making the property <br /> presentable. It is also following the original, approved plan for obtaining a legal source of process <br /> water for milling operations. Incidentally, access to the water that is stored in the Times Mine has <br /> now been restored, and this considerable volume of water was offered to the Volunteer Fire <br /> Department months ago. It is something of a mystery why access to all this water has not been <br /> followed up by anyone in the town of Gold Hill. The Colorado Milling Company, LLC's <br /> representatives are prepared to meet and discuss their plans with any of your members willing to <br /> make constructive suggestions about improving our Gold Hill Mill Waterline and future mining <br /> and milling operations. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Mark A.
