FEUERSTEIN <br />June l4, 1995 <br />Hand Delivered <br />Mr. Michael Long <br />Environmental Protection Specialists <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Notice of Violation No. C-95-017; <br />Permit No. C-81-010; <br />Trapper Mining Inc. <br />Dear Mike: <br />~;vison ~~,vlipera~s B GepJ <br />ogy <br />I am submitting the information which follows concerning the referenced NOV <br />pursuant to Rule 5.04.3(1), as attorney for Trapper Mining Inc., to meet the 15-day <br />deadline in that Rule. These comments are preliminary, however, because Trapper has <br />been unable to fully investigate the circumstances surrounding the violation alleged in the <br />NOV. Trapper expects to present additional information as it becomes available to <br />contest the validity of the alleged violation and the amount of any civil penalty proposed. <br />On May 4, 1995, Trapper personnel discovered a slide in the Ashmore Scraper Pit <br />area, which was regraded and topsoiled in 1993. The slide area is wholly contained <br />within Trapper's permit area and did not threaten or cause damage to any other structures <br />or resources. It was reported to the Division by Trapper personnel by telephone on May <br />5. Trapper's report prompted the Division's inspections on May 17, 23 and 24, 1995, <br />which led to issuance of the NOV on May 30, 1995. <br />5 KIRK INGEBRETBEN <br />DOUGLABP RUEGSEGGER <br />EDWARD D WHITE <br />PEGGY J.
