The Upper Clear Creek Watershed Association is the <br />designated 208-management agency responsible for overseeing water-quality and water- <br />resources issues through the upper Clear Creek watershed. Our membership includes <br />twenty municipalities, counties, and dischargers located in the upper Clear Creek <br />watershed in Cleaz Creek and Gilpin Counties. <br />UCCWA is concerned that the current application does not adequately identify potential <br />metal, nutrient and sediment impacts from the operation to the I~Fortti Fork of Cleaz Creek <br />or offer a plan to mitigate these impacts. In addition, UCCWA would like to express its <br />support of Gilpin County's authority over land use issues at the site including the <br />requirement for a special use permit. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. <br />Sincerely, ~ <br />~~ <br />Anne Beierle <br />Chair <br />Upper Cleaz Creek Watershed Association <br />Cc: Roger Baker, Gilpin County <br />Rick Fendel, Petrock & Fendel <br />Mike Crouse, Douglas Mountain Residents' Association <br />
