Long <br /> D,vo,on Director <br />Dear Mr. Montgomery: <br />In response to your telephone call of June 30 the Division of Minerals and Geology provides <br />the following information. <br />Status of Golden Eagle Mine Permit Renewal RN-03 <br />The written findings are completed and the Division awaits submittal of the proof of publication <br />of the public notice from Basin Resources before issuing a proposed decision. Once we receive <br />this proof, documentation and written findings will be forwarded to the appropriate parties and <br />the Division will publish notice of the proposed decision. <br />Violation status of the Golden Eagle Mine <br />No violations are currently pending. Enclosed please find the revised permit pages submitted <br />by Basin Resources for RN-03 that list the violation history for Golden Eagle for the past three <br />years. <br />EIS for the Trinidad area <br />The Division is not aware of an Environmental Impact Statement done in the Trinidad area. <br />From the Preface of the Northwest Colorado EIS, it states "Section 102 of NEPA states that <br />every Federal agency which proposes an action that may significantly affect the quality of the <br />human environment must prepare a statement describing the environmental impact of that <br />action. " Possibly, due to most of the mines in the Trinidad area operating on private lands, no <br />EIS was required. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. <br />Si c ely, D _~ <br />(~~~' `L~ <br />K t A.
