After careful <br />~Am~tion of the information contained within the application, I have identified <br />several significam: issues that were either excluded from discussion or were gossly <br />inadequately addressed. The applicants do not address the following issues; and until <br />tlielr~8ve been thoroughly addressed and responses have been made available to the <br />mtiaeas of Lyons and Boulder County, an issuance of a 112 Mmuog Permit can not <br />be made. <br />I am employed as a consultant by several large mining corporations to ensure that <br />environmental compliance occurs and the heahh of the community and the <br />environment is protected. The Colorado Division of Mining and Geology must hold <br />all mine applications to the same degree of scrutiny and must allow the public the <br />opportunity to comment prior to the issuance of any applications. <br />Issues: <br />r~~ <br />No Mme Plan - No discussion of a mine plan is made within the conversion <br />application. VVithout a mine plan no citizen or the Colorado Division of Mining <br />and Geology c:an make an educated evaluation of the effects the increased mining <br />operations would have on the environment or the corrununity. Without this <br />~ ~~ <br />
