S , i. '3 <br />• <br />2. Milling Facility - Adding the mill facility to the <br />operation will place the operator in amore stringent category <br />of permitting requirements due to the use of hazardous <br />chemicals in the milling process. The operator will also <br />probably need to obtain a discharge permit for any process <br />water leaving the site, and will need to obtain other Health <br />Dept. permits such as a Stormwater Permit and an Air Emissions <br />Permit (rock crusher to be used on site). Any disposal of <br />mill tailings or development waste on the surface will involve <br />fairly stringent design, installation, maintenance and <br />reclamation requirements. <br />3. Postmining Land Use - The new operator has indicated <br />verbally that he may propose to leave all buildings on site <br />after final reclamation. To do this, the operator will need <br />to provide our Division with reasonable assurance that the <br />buildings will likely be used after mining for industrial, <br />commercial, or residential purposes, that such use is <br />compatible with the overall postmining land use selected for <br />the site, and that such a use is acceptable to La Plata County <br />Government. Any input the County can provide our Division in <br />this regard would be of great benefit. The current permit <br />contains no provision for leaving any structures on site. <br />More information regarding the details of the amended operation <br />will be available once I receive a copy of the application from our <br />Denver office. Please contact me at 247-5062 if you need any <br />additional information. <br />Sin rely, <br />Tom Gillis <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />/tdg <br />2 <br />
