Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> The application fails to demonstrate how the mine will control water pollution during the mining operation and in <br /> 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 /> 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 /> The application fails to provide sufficient detail as to the plans for the ore material to be mined, including where <br /> the ore from the mine will be processed, how it will be transported,and how it will be stored on site.There is not <br /> sufficient transportation or storage plan in this application. <br /> The application lacks a sufficient description of the area surface hydrology to enable the public to understand all <br /> of the drainages and bodies of water that might be affected by the mining operation. <br /> The application references a milling operation on site, but fails to provide sufficient information for review of the <br /> impacts or reclamation requirements of a milling operation on site. <br /> The application must incorporate all aspects of the reclamation plan in the proposed financial assurance(bond) <br /> for full reclamation. <br /> The application does not mention the risk of wildfire ignition(from explosives used and stored on site,or sparks <br /> from equipment)despite the mine being located in the highest risk level in the state for wildfire probability, <br /> severity and post fire impacts. <br /> The application does not provide sufficient information to ensure protection of the property and environment <br /> from wildfire,flood or blackout. <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 Gold Min <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Grand Island Resources <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 />
