Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has received your responses to your comments to <br />our 10 May 2005 adequacy letter. Oxbow Mining LLC provided information to update <br />the text of the permit application document as requested by the Division. <br />The Division has one additional request for this application. In the latest response to <br />comments, OMLLC updated portions of the discussion in Section 2.04.7 concerning the <br />treatment of mine water. In the first paragraph of that section, however, the statement is <br />made that the only mine water discharge to date has been from spring SP-8. This is not <br />accurate as water was routinely discharged from the Sanborn Creek Mine prior to its <br />closure. Please include a discussion of the discharge from the Sanborn Creek Mine that <br />was routed to the mine water treatment pond. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 303-866-4928. <br />Sincerely, <br />~f~~iLGG~ <br />Jlm Burnell <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Co: S.
