ii ii~iiuiiiiu iii <br />24 February, 1995 <br />Barbara Chaippone <br />Division of Minerals and Geclogy <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Ms. Chaippone, <br /> <br />cF~~ <br />FD <br />02 1g95 <br />0i~%s~o~ o~ h u ~,a/S a Gep o <br />9Y <br />Per our phone conversations, I am sending our succession of operator forms. I have also en- <br />closed acopy of technical revisions to the original permit #81-165, namely the abolition of cyanide <br />agitation leaching. No cyanicle will be stored or used anywhere in the new process. If this needs <br />to be stated in an application, could you please forward the appropriate application to the address <br />noted below in this letter. <br />I feel that these technical revisions clearly demonstrate that the mining operation should not be <br />classified as a designated mining operation. This was based on of the definition given in Mineral <br />Rules and Reoulations on page 4. "Metal mining operations, permitted under Section 34-32-110, <br />C.R.S. 1984, as amended, which do not use or store designated chemicals, shall be exempt from <br />the requirements applicable to Designated Mining Operations, unless they have a potential to <br />produce acid mine drainage in quantities sufficient to adversely affect any person, property or the <br />environment. It shall be the burden of the Operator or Applicant to demonstrate to the satisfaction <br />of the Office that such potential does not exist " All the chemicals mentioned in the technical <br />revision will not impact the em~ironment. If need be, I can provide a letter from a local laboratory <br />certifying that the chemicals we intend to use are environmentally sound. <br />A financial warranty of $7000 has already been submitted. It was submitted back in August of '94 <br />in the forth of a certificate of deposit. <br />If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or write to me at: <br />15915 Katy Fwy. #205 <br />Houston, TX 77094 <br />(713)578-1440 <br />Sin~cer~ely <br />BryaNQuindt <br />Environmental Engi„ser <br />Enc. <br />cc: Harold Luzar Jr. <br />Ste: 02079501.pm5 <br />
