RE: Phil Sheridan Lode Mining Permit Application
M~_RD File No. M-88-O81
Boulder County, Colorado
Dear MI°. Covey:
Pursuant to Rule 2.34 of the Rules and Regulations, enclosed is a copy of a
protest. filed by Mr. Larry Christiansen and Ms. Jill Dohm Christiansen
pertaining to the above referenced operation.
The apparent conflict in land ownership boundaries should be resolved. One
method could be to have an independent surveyor review your submitted map and
ascertain in a written letter that it is correct.
The comment "The shop may be expanded to handle concentrating facilities for
the ore." should be discussed more fully. If you indeed have plans for such
a facility, please discuss the process involved, the equipment to be used, and
the amount of area required for the operation. If you are unsure at this time
of your need for a facility, you may wish to delete this comment from your
current application and file a Technical Revision in the future to add your
facility to your site at that time.
The comment "We must, however, take steps to keep run-off water where it
belongs and not in the workings." should be discussed more fully as well. The
comment> in your application's Exhibit D by Richard Mullaney, District
Conservationist for the USDA Soil Conservation Service, regarding a berm and
diversion ditch should be incorporated into your plans to satisfy our
Guidline~s outlined in Section 34-32-116(7) of the Act and Rule 6 in the Rules
and Regulations
The concern about the powder and detonator storage areas should be resolved to
the satisfaction of the Colorado Division of Mines. The Mined Land
Reclamation Division does not regulate the use of explosives. Questions
regarding the use of explosives as part of a mining operation should be
addressed to Mr. Joe Nugent at 866-3401. Additionally, the concern about the
proximity of the operation to a residence should be in compliance with both
the Division of Mines regulations and Boulder County's codes. Compliance with
the county codes is not required for State permit issuance, but may be
necessary for county approval.
