Box 653 <br />Nederland, CO 80466 <br />Dear Idr. Hendricks: <br />etl Hard a. fep0 <br />plonninp director <br />This letter is in reponse to your telephone call of September 29, <br />1977, regarding mining near Caribou in Sections 8 and 9, T1S, <br />R73W. You stated that your company owns approximately 135 acres <br />of patented mining claims and is involved in underground mining <br />on a portion of this land. This property is located in the <br />Forestry (F) Zoning District an3 subsurface mining is a permitted <br />use provided offensive odors, noise, fluids, and dust are confined <br />to the premises. The County has not inspected the subject opera- <br />tion so we are not certain that the conditions listed ak~ove are <br />• being satisfied. <br />I discussed this matter with tor. Tom Lemire, Boulder Cii:y/County <br />Health Department, this morning. He intends to schedules a visit <br />to the Hendricks' site to investigate the levels of dust; generate3, <br />chemical release into water courses, noise, and other e~ivironmental <br />factors associated with the operation. It is my unders~=anding that <br />he will be phoning you today and hopes to arrange the v:~sit for <br />Tuesday, October 4, 1977. <br />The County is currently involved in the development of •s Compre- <br />hensive Land Use Plan. In the future, we anticipate re3uesting <br />that operators involved in subsurface mining in the For=_stry Zoning <br />District file a letter of intent with the County. This information <br />will serve to keep our Staff informed of mining operations and may <br />also be of use to adjacent property owners in terms of informing <br />them of nearby mining activities. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact me at the Planning Office if you <br />have questions concerning this matter. <br />Yours very truly, <br />-~ <br />• Barbara Bryan <br />Planner <br />BB:cls <br />cc: J.
