PATRICIA C. MOSCH HIIN/NG ENGINEER + GEOLOGICAL ENGINEER BOX 537 IDAHO SPRINGS, COLORADO 80452 (303) 587-056,5 July 19, 1989 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CONTINUE MINING OPERATIONS Permittee Name: Alvin Mosch and Patricia C. Mosch Permit No. M-82-075 Operation Name: Phoenix Mine Last year the Clear Creek County Road and Bridges department moved the existing county road (County Road 136--Trail Creek road) which passes through the center of the Phoenix mine permit area in order to remove a dangerous blind curve around the Phoenix ore bin. They widened the road substantially, moved it to the south- east side of the ore bin, partially removed and relocated a portion of the pre- existing Phoenix dump, and moved the Trail Creek stream bed to a new location. Trail Creek now flows under the previous road location through approximately 200 feet of culvert installed by the County. We have planted grasses, evergreen trees, raspberries, and other native plants on the road cut slopes left by the County, and along the new creek banks. These revegitated areas cover ~3pproximately 2,000 square feet (approximate location shown on the attached map). Other areas along the road left disturbed by the road construction are being filled with crushed rock from a cross-cut being driven in the Phoenix, and will be leveled for additional parking for the Tourist portion of the mine which went into operation this spring. Other waste rock is still being used to fill in open sto~>es in the underground workings of the old Phoenix mine. Operations are expected to continue on the same basis during the coming year. Other affected areas (raids, parking, equipment storage areas) have not been reclaimed as they are still in use by the current mining and tourist activity. P0. e .Mn ~-~-. Patricia C.
