<br />It should be preserved as a memorial to the first uranium <br />"boom" of the late 1940's and early to mid 1950's. <br />Blake Mining Company desires to amend and revise its <br />reclamation plan for C-JD-S to allow the headframe to remain as a <br />permanent structure. The shaft would be backfilled with waste or <br />low grade ore and a concrete cap would be cast in place at the <br />surface. The "torpedo" escape cage, now stored at the nearby <br />ventilation bore would be placed on display on top of the concrete <br />cap over the shaft. The hoisting equipment, man cage/muck skip <br />combination and hoist building would be salvaged and removed. The <br />hoist foundations would be broken out and buried as is provided in <br />the current reclamation plan. <br />The ore bin at the Hawkeye predates the current Colorado mine <br />reclamation laws and has not been used since the 1950's. <br />Therefore, Hlake Mining Company does not consider it self Lo be <br />liable for the removal and reclamation of this structure. However, <br />Blake Mining Company shares ECO Associates belief that this <br />structure should be preserved for posterity. <br />Please contact this office if you have any questions or <br />comments . <br />Yours truly; ~~ ~/'/ <br />W T Cohan, P.E. <br />cc: Ed Cotter, Rust Geotech <br />James Dillie, Division of Minerals & Geology <br />Richard Fike, BLM Montrose <br />Robert Kershaw, BLM Durango <br />Russel L Roberts, Blake Mining Company <br />'j0 h'{ Jaam~i Schriener, Division of Minerals & Geology <br />,WTG <br />
