Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> We have lived for 50 years with our family on Middle Boulder Creek. We also own a rental home on the creek. <br /> Michael is a retired firefighter from the Sugarloaf Fire Department with twenty years of service. <br /> We are very concerned about the reopening and expansion of the Cross Mine above Nederland. We all have s <br /> hallow wells close to the creek and thus the quality of our drinking water closely matches that of the creek itself. <br /> With Cross's history of clean water violations and intended expansion we seriously doubt that any claims of re <br /> medying previous violations have been and will continue to be valid. Attempting to continuously monitor their di <br /> scharges will be difficult,expensive,and very likely unsuccessful. These operations are known to ignore the la <br /> w,charge ahead,deny violations,and just make promises about the future while doing nothing. <br /> This activity will surely have a grave impact not only on people exposed to the chemicals and heavy metals but <br /> will also harm the fish and wildlife who depend on drinking untreated water. <br /> I urge you to work towards denying the DMO(Cross gold mine application, Permit M1977410)permit and preve <br /> nt this horrible operation from restarting. Resolving the inevitable problem after it has started will be extremely <br /> difficult if not impossible. <br /> Permitting Action Comment/Objection is Regarding <br /> • New Permit Change to Existing Permit <br /> Permit Number* (?) <br /> Enter a valid permit number <br /> M1977410 <br /> County* <br /> Colorado County where the proposed operation is located <br /> Boulder <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Cross Mine <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Cross Mine <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> Yes • No <br /> By submitting this form electronically you agree to receive any/all follow up correspondence from the Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining,and Safety at the email address you have provided. <br />
