My concerns with this project is that it is above the Canon City water intake and the potential for <br /> contamination of aquifers and underground water looms as a significant threat.The information I have <br /> estimates the water use in the mining operation at approximately 65,000,000. per year.That is about 200 acre <br /> feet,which is a huge amount of water,which could contaminate the city water source not to mention wells and <br /> small streams in the area.They propose to use several chemicals mixed with water in processing the ore taken <br /> from the mine. I have little faith that this operation can be done safely and that a large enough monetary <br /> amount can be required to rectify any damages to the water resource should an accident or some unforeseen <br /> problem arise.This community experienced contamination of ground water for forty years. Leaking"water tight" <br /> holding ponds contaminated aquifers and ground water with the processing liquid waste left over from yellow <br /> cake production. Cotter Corporation's uranium produced a bi-product that they said could be contained but was <br /> not! My spring and ditch were contaminated with molybdenum and uranium more than 3 miles from the ponds. <br /> Its taken forty years to reduce the levels but not to historic low levels. I request a denial of the mining permit <br /> because adequate bond insurance have not been required so that this operation will be safe and adequate <br /> restoration will be achieved. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M122112211 or C123456789. <br /> M20211046 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> Permit Type <br /> County <br /> Fremont <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Dawson Gold Mine <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Zephyr Gold USA Ltd <br />
