Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I have MANY concerns about the Cross Mine's request to restart their operations or up to 50 years and request <br /> for an expansion to 200 acres.As a resident of Nederland who was prevoiusly exposed to the lead and arsenic <br /> in my drinking and bathing water I am opposed to this request. <br /> I am also very opposed to any kind of expansion to 200 acres. <br /> The location of the mine site is an area that has robust wildlife.Construction and mine operations pose a threat <br /> to disruption of the wildlife via light, noise and traffic.The road to the mine is a steep,dirt road at high altitude. <br /> Additional concerns: <br /> 1. Fire danger and emergency response. <br /> 2. Protection of the property and environment from wildfire,flood or blackout. <br /> 3.The application fails to demonstrate how the mine will control water pollution during the mining operation and <br /> in the long-term, post-mining.Given the history of water pollution problems,a more detailed analysis of how the <br /> mine is going to ensure future water quality protection is required under state law. <br /> 4.The application does not demonstrate that the current treatment and monitoring systems in place or as <br /> proposed will adequately protect ground and surface water during active mining. <br /> 5.The application fails to provide sufficient detail as to the plans for the ore material to be mined, including <br /> where the ore from the mine will be processed, how it will be transported,and how it will be stored on site. <br /> There is not sufficient transportation or storage plan in this application. <br /> 6.The application lacks a sufficient description of the area surface hydrology to enable the public to understand <br /> all of the drainages and bodies of water that might be affected by the mining operation. <br /> 7.The application references a milling operation on site, but fails to provide sufficient information for review of <br /> the impacts or reclamation requirements of a milling operation on site. <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 /> Revision Type and Sequence <br /> Mine reopen and expansion <br /> County* <br /> Colorado County where the proposed operation is located <br /> Boulder <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Cross Gold Mine <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <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 />
