Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Granby, Colorado 80446 <br />~ / <br />RE: Overlook Mine, Permit No. M-2006-075, Complaint Regarding Possible Illegal Mining Activity <br />Dear Mr. Linke: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety received your July 17, 20071etter requesting that <br />possible illegal mining activity conducted by Granby Ranch be investigated. The letter indicated that on <br />July 16, 2007 trucks were being loaded with material at the pit operated by Granby Ranch and were <br />hauling this material to a jobsite in Winter Park, Colorado. Photographs were included in your letter <br />showing a truck being loaded with material at the Overlook Mine on Granby Ranch, hauling the material <br />off of Granby Ranch property, and dumping gravel at some location (reportedly in winter Park, <br />Colorado) The photos included the July 17, 2007 date. <br />Thank you for your concern regarding potential illegal mining in Colorado. Upon review of DRMS <br />files, it was determined that on June 28, 2007, Granby Realty Holdings, LLC. was issued a Regular 112c <br />permit for the Overlook Mine. As of that date material may be hauled from the Overlook Mine. <br />Hauling is no longer restricted to Granby Ranch property as was initially required by a declaratory order <br />issued to the Silver Creek Resort in 1997. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, telephone no. 970-243-6368. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ v ~ ,r~~'S~ <br />Steve S.
