Illllllllllllllllll RECEIVED AUG 21 1978 August 21, 1978 MINED LAND RECLAMATION 1420 Trenton Street cc!�. DePt. of Nstura! p2SC"rCes Denver, Colorado olorado 80220 i Mined Lend Reclamation Board Denver, Colorado Dear.Sirs: Antonia C. and Lloyd W. and Exie P. White should like to object to the issuance of a mining and recl-mation permit to Nelson Contractors to mine in the SO of Section 32, Township 6 South, Range 71 West of the 6th PM at the area called Shaffer's Crossing, File No. 78-208, objection contingent upon the last paragraAh of this letter. We are owners of a Parcel of land (1 acre +) with the legal description of "part of the NEf of the SW+ of Section 32, Township 6 South, Range 71 West'of the 6th FM. This land has a winterized log cabin and several sheds. The mining operation will occur directly on the other side of our fence. Two of us are retired and the other is near retirement age. We were in the process of selling the cabin in order to add to our retirement income. We cannot do so with a mine operation occurring so near. We cannot understand why we were not contacted two ,years ago when the first slash went in. We cannot, at our age, wait five years for reclamation in order to realize our investment. We, furthermore, cannot ethically now sell the cabin without telling the buyer of the potential mining operation across his fence. We have researched out the involvement of all agencies in this mining operation and have contacted and negotiated with the Nelson Contractors for 'parchase of our parcel of land. Nelson Contractors have given us a $16000 check as downpayment on the purchase of our property contingent upo the forthcoming survey indicating that our property actually does contain at least 1 acre of land. Lf Aelgog Contractors actually Purchase our land we will wish to withdraw our objection to the mining and reclamation permit at Schaffers Crossing, File no. 78-208. Sincerely yours, ' Antonia C. White Li ovWW.
