Responses to Objections 30 <br /> September 5,2023 <br /> Step 8: Wildlife <br /> The Colorado Department of Natural Resources has reviewed our application and mandated that fencing <br /> and other mitigations be included in the design to protect wildlife. CJK has reached out to DNR to properly <br /> address these measures. <br /> Noise(Vibration) <br /> Noise, vibration,traffic and other concerns are regulated/managed by Lake County. As such they may not <br /> be specifically addressed in the CDRMS permit, but will be addressed at the County level under the required <br /> Conditional Use Permit(CUP)which cannot be submitted until the State Reclamation Permit is approved. <br /> Please keep in mind that all residents will also have the opportunity to voice their concerns in public during <br /> the CUP process. <br /> Leadville ordinance mandates 75dba at the property line. The process design addresses this requirement. <br /> The crusher will be the primary contributor to vibration. However, the crusher is small and calculations <br /> show that vibrations will be imperceptible and no threat to structures or public well-being. CJK is in the <br /> process of installing noise, dust and vibration monitors on the facility property near the neighboring homes. <br /> Data will establish baseline values and assist in any design modifications that may be required to meet <br /> county requirements. Also,there will be no truck traffic after dark. <br /> The project has and will continue to provide an economic benefit to Leadville and Lake County. Since 2020, <br /> CJK has spent over$1 million in services from local businesses and local consultants in Leadville. Leadville <br /> and Lake county residents will have priority to all jobs once operations commence. <br /> At CJK Milling,we are committed to transparency and stewardship. As a remediation company,our mission <br /> is to help clean up the environment and we welcome any additional questions you may have. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> For CJK Milling Company <br /> Nick Michael <br /> Union Milling Contractors <br /> cc: GKnippa, UMC Milling Company, LLC <br /> SCraig, UMC <br />
