Page 2 of 4 <br />We know you feel you must stand behind your Specialists but when they are <br />WRONG, they are WRONG! <br />This property is the run off for the Arkansas River. We get 14 to 18 feet of snow <br />each winter that melts off in 30 days or less. We can't always go by the map. <br />We have had over the 14 years to work out different plans to be able to hold <br />back the erosion. This project has been a labor of love and profit has never been <br />in the picture! Ms. Crosby doesn't have a clue even tho she is experienced in <br />mineral program laws and regulations. We do not move one shovel of dirt unless <br />it benefits the land! The county assessors office is so proud of what we have <br />done to the property, they have raised the property taxes three times in the 14 <br />years we have owned it. Spending $40,000.00 for reclamation has been well <br />worth it in pride and satisfaction. <br />Deanna Van Ella <br />>From: "Humphries, Bruce" <bruce.humphries@state.co.us> <br />>To: "'goldbasin@hotmail.com"' <goldbasin@hotmail.com> <br />>CC: "Crosby, Erica" <erica.crosby@state.co.us>, "Mount, Cazl" <br /><carl.mount@state.co.us> <br />>Subject: RE: Gold Basin Mine <br />>Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 13:37:56 -0700 <br />>This Email is in response to your letter of march 15, 2005. I will <br />>follow-up with letter, but wanted to get our response to you as soon as <br />>possible so that you may complete the permit amendment process. <br />>The Rules and Regulations are in the process of being revised to allow <br />>amendments to 110 permits. The form that you are completing or have <br />>completed is the existing form that does not allow the option of an <br />>amendment. We have, however, decided to allow you to submit an amendment <br />>application now rather than later using our existing application form that <br />>does not have acheck-off box for amendments. (Please address the completed <br />>application to our Ms. Erica Crosby so that we can make sure the <br />>administration staff do not return it to you.) I believe that our Ms. <br />>Crosby indicated in her inspection report that you should submit an <br />>amendment. We apologize for the confusion, but were trying give you a break <br />>on the permitting process by allowing you to submit an amendment rather than <br />>having to submit a whole new application. <br />>In reference to your other question. We agree with you that the area has <br />>been previously disturbed by other mining operations. We also agree that as <br />>long as you do not reaffect those previously affected areas, you are not <br />>responsible for its reclamation. You must, however, and it is your <br />>responsibility to document, using existing documents in permit files we <br />>have, photographs that you take, accurate maps of sufficient scale to fully <br />>describe the affected areas or other suitable means, so that it is clear <br />>what has been previously affected. <br />4/4/2005 <br />
