Dear Mr. Hays:
Enclosed please find two copies of the information requested in your letter dated August 14, 2020.
Comment 1: "The Division received comments from History Colorado and the Division of Water
Resources for the amendment application. The letters are attached for review. Please address
the comments noted in the letters and revise the application accordingly."
Response 1: The letter received from History Colorado did not have any comments that needed
to be addressed. The letter indicated that there were no known cultural resources in the vicinity
of the proposed project. If human remains are found during the mining process, Weld County
acknowledges that the requirements of State Law C.R.S. 24-80(Part 13) will apply. Furthermore,
Weld County acknowledges that the requirements will be followed.
The letter from the Colorado Division of Water Resources states that stormwater intercepted by
the mine must be released within 72 hours. In the Exhibit G submitted with the amendment
application, Weld County acknowledges any stormwater captured by the mine will be released
within 72 hours.
Comment 2: `As required by Rule 1.6.2.1(d) and 1.6.5(2), please submit proof of publication in a
newspaper of general circulation in the locality of the proposed mining operation."
Response 2: As noted in the Adequacy Review Letter dated August 14, 2020, the requested
information was provided on July 22, 2020 and no additional response is required.

rights of the affected land and the owners of record of all land surface within 200 feet of the
boundary of the affected land including all easement holders located on the affected land and
within 200 feet of the boundary of the affected land. Proof of notice may be return receipts of a
Certified Mailing or by proof of personal service."
