The state of Colorado is <br />delegated the permitting and enforcement of permits issued under the federal Clean Water Ack <br />The Division has not yet received an application for either process water or stormwater discharges from <br />the site in question. This is not unusual as most sites will get the Division of Minerals and Geology's <br />approval before app}ying for a discharge permik Unless a pemrit is applied for or eo unauthorized <br />discharge occurs, the Water Quality Control Division has no authority over this site. <br />Most, if not all your concerns, are items which the Division of Minerals and Geology will evaluate in <br />approving the mining permit for the site. Your letter has been forwarded to them. It is suggested that you <br />contact them with your concerns. <br />The Division will factor in the comments we received from you should the Company apply for a <br />discharge permik Please contact me with any questions at (303) 692-3608. <br />S' rely. /~ <br />~J~ ~~ <br />Patricia A.
