"Muoicipat and industrial water <br />projects" is listed in Section 4.2 of Gilpin County ReguF~.pjon of Certain <br />Matters of State Interest (attached) as a major infrasttuchrre project subject <br />to 1D41 review. Aa such, it is likely that Gilpin County would exercise fts <br />10A l powers over any end use that would include water storage. As the <br />proposed quarrying project would irreversibly alter the natural landscape, <br />we believe it prudent to review the pmposod quarrying activity in the <br />context of rho likely end use before permitting. <br />The 112 application on file with the Gilpin Courny Clerk & Reoordor clearly <br />elates that a Crilpin Corwty Special Use Review (SUR) pemrit will be obtained <br />prior to initiating mining activity, "if this property is subjeot to Gilpin County <br />uaining regulations°. Gilpin County does not regulate mining per so, but the <br />County bas clear authority to, and loos regulate ofl'site impacts of mining and, <br />in this case, the and use o£ We mined area The above qualifying statement <br />coupled with Mr. Wolf a demonsbcated comiotions suggest that County <br />pctmits will not be sought. <br />Given the subject property owner's stated refusal to acknowledge the authority <br />of Coumy government contrary to local permitting requiremems, Gilpin <br />Coumy respectfully asks that the Mined [.and Reclamation 13oard deny the <br />applicant's permit request under §34-32.5-I 15 (4) (d) C,R.S. Alternatively, <br />GUpin County would request that any permit issued by the State clearly and <br />emphatically state that operation is conditioned upon local approvals, <br />Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to a public hearing and <br />will await notification. <br /><~~mlY, . . <br />o~nly/fP~ie~~r~ son <br />Gllpln County Commonity Development D'nector <br />o.c, Roger Bakes, Oi1P~ Cam' M~B~' <br />Jim Petcock, Oiipm Comoty Attoiney <br />BOCC <br />
