SHELTON, Dlnetor <br />June 6, 1984 <br />Mr. Ed McCrary <br />Texas Mining & Exploration, Co. <br />Bax 1528 <br />Buena Vista, Colorado 81211 <br />Re: Gloria Z Mine - File No. M-84-094 <br />Dear Mr. McCrary: <br />The Division has reviewed the above cited application for adequacy. We have <br />the following questions, comments, and requests which are intended to help <br />provide for a satisfactory application for presentation before the MLRB. <br />Responses should be returned by no later than June 18, 1984 if at all possible. <br />1. The maximum depth to be mined, and depth (from the surface) to ground <br />water should be given. <br />2. The method and location of dewatering should be indicated. The operator <br />is advised that dewatering will probably require a discharge permit. We <br />recommend that you contact Bob Shukle at the State Health Department, Water <br />Quality Control Division (320-8333) for assistance. <br />3. The location and method of tailings disposal should be given. The plan <br />should provide details on any impoundment structures. <br />4. The staff does not feel that a 50' buffer between the river is adequate <br />to meet the requirements or Rule 6.2. The Division recommends that an <br />absolute minimum of 100', undisturbed, be maintained between the high water <br />line of the South Platte River and any disturbance. Furthermore, this buffer <br />should be staked to delineate boundaries. <br />5. The application should commit to a plan to backfill concurrent with <br />mining in order to keep reclamation current and reduce ultimate material <br />handling burdens. <br />6. In order to reduce sediment contributions to the stream, the application <br />should include a plan to divert/capture runoff peripheral to and downgradient <br />from operations. <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
