Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> To Whom It May Concern, <br /> I have co-owned a piece of family property along coon track creek for decades and have increasingly become <br /> concerned about the water quality.Our family was not notified in 2021 when the Grand Island Resources were <br /> violating their discharge permit for MONTHS,even though we spend time on a regular basis in the creek, <br /> playing in the creek with my grandchildren,letting our dogs play in the creek and drink. <br /> Our family feels very unsafe and unsure about the prospect of mining resuming with this history of pollution <br /> coming downstream. <br /> The current application has some concerns that other have mentioned. My biggest concerns would be that the <br /> application does not ensure that the water coming off that site for the next 50 years would be clean, no matter <br /> what. Period,end of story. Not only is that creek our water,and the water of the wildlife that depend on it-it <br /> flows into Barker and down into Boulder. <br /> Boulder just got the Sundance Film Festival. Boulder is a major city now, not a sleep college town of decades <br /> past.We cannot trust this company,or any mining company to be honest,to ensure that accidents or unforseen <br /> incidents won't occur. <br /> I saw a document that the current operator of the water treatment plant doesn't even have the proper <br /> certification.And yet expanion and commencement of operations is being considered? <br /> This is unacceptable. <br /> Please vote NO on allowing any mining to occur at the Cross or Caribou Mine. <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 /> GIR <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 />
