Responses to Objections 41 <br /> September 5,2023 <br /> 17.Justin Fowler <br /> 13767 Highway 24 <br /> Leadville, CO 80461 <br /> 4ustinfowler54(cDgmail.com <br /> RE: Support of Proposed Amendment to the Leadville Mill Permit M1990-057 <br /> Mr. Fowler, <br /> Thank you for taking the time to express the objections/concerns to our proposed amendment to our <br /> Leadville Mill permit. <br /> Obiection: The land and neighborhood is now a residential area and no longer suitable for milling or <br /> mining. Why in the world would the Federal or State allow such activity after the 28 ac parcel we also own <br /> was cleaned in the Super Fund!?? This makes zero sense to allow such cyanide activity near our water <br /> wells. <br /> The land East of your property has been zoned for Industrial and Mining activities for many years and <br /> maintains this zoning today. The Mill was permitted and constructed around 1990. The permit is still <br /> active (State-CDRMS M1990-057and Lake County CUP File 11-07). The mill is currently permitted to <br /> process material using flotation methods,which do not require the use of cyanide. However,the mine <br /> dumps considered for remediation require the responsible use of cyanide. The permit amendment <br /> application currently under consideration by CDRMS is to amend the existing permit to allow the use of <br /> cyanide. If the application to amend the permit is not approved, CJK will look at options to operate the <br /> mill using its currently approved and permitted process technology. <br /> To our knowledge, EPA has not performed any remediation activity in either your property or the mill site <br /> property, although the area was studied by EPA. <br /> CJK is available to meet with you and other stakeholders to discuss your concerns. Please do not <br /> hesitate to contact us through the appropriate channels if you wish. <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 />
