c) The boundaries of the National Park System, the National Wildlife
Refuge System, the National System of Trails, the National
• Wilderness Preservation System, the Wild and Scenic Rivers System
including rivers under study for designation, and National
Recreation Areas (2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(A>);
d) Three hundred feet of any public building, school, church,
community or institutional building, or public park
(2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(B));
e) One hundred feet of a cemetary (2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(C>);
f> The boundaries of any National Forest unless the required finding
of compatibility has been made by the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. A letter of compatibility was mailed to
Somerset Mining Company on April 19, 1990 (2.07.6(2)(d)(iii)(D)).
The letter was signed by U.S. Forest Service District Ranger
Steven L. Posey, who, by law, has been given the power to sign for
the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture.
g) One hundred feet of the outside right-of-way line of any public
road except where mine access or haul roads join such line, and
excepting any roads for which the necessary approvals have been
received, notices published, public hearing opportunities provided,
and written findings made (2.07.6(2)(d)(iv)). The proposed Sanborn
Creek Mine permit area and Sanborn East Tract permit area are
located within 100 feet of State Highway 133. According to
information contained in the permit revision document and gained
• from the public meeting held on March 21, 1991 in the town of
Somerset (no public meeting was requested for Sanborn East Tract),
the Division finds that:
1> the applicant has obtained the necessary approvals from the
Colorado State Department of Highways and
2) the interests of the public and affected landowners will be
protected from the proposed mining operations.
h) Three hundred feet of an occupied dwelling unless a written waiver
from the owner has been provided (2.07.6(2)(d)(v)).
On the basis of information submitted by Somerset Mining Company in the
form of two separate studies, one conducted by Centuries Research, Inc.
and one by Grand River Institute, and a letter from the Colorado State
Historic Preservation Officer, the Division finds that subject to valid
existing rights as of August 3, 1977, the mining operation will not
adversely affect any publicly owned park or place listed on or eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as determined by
the State Historic Preservation Office (2.07.6(2)(e)(i)).
For this surface mining operation, private mineral estate has not been
severed from private surface estate; therefore, the documentation
specified by Rule 2.03.6(2) is not required (2.07.6(2)(f)).
