CCV Mme Permit Comments <br />City of Cripple Creek <br />June 12, 2008 <br />Page 4 <br />earlier harvesting, those areas have Reclaimed themselves and are now <br />mature. The residents and visitors of Cripple Creek enjoy their beauty and <br />a significant number of visitors come to this area to enjoy the turning of the <br />aspens. it would be disingenuous for CCV to say there was no economic <br />impact to Cripple Creek for the harvesting. <br />Further the plan they propose will provide years of simply ugly mining <br />activity. The proposed r?fama I plan chooses to leave an entire <br />benched Rock Face with no vegetation, which begs the question"How is <br />that Reclamation". It is undoubtly an insult to the City and the common <br />sense of our society. <br />POINT FOUR - LIVING UP TO THEIR PROMISES <br />CCV should be doing what their representatives have told Cripple Creek <br />and Victor that they promised from the beginning and that it would be <br />redeveloping the downtown of Victor. They have supported the Lowell <br />Thomas Museum but a lot is left to be done, and there is virtually no <br />redevelopment sponsored by the mine. <br />CCV needs to be fostering a plan for a train from Cripple Creek to Victor <br />and not in 10 or 20 years, the plan needs to be now and the execution <br />needs to begin over the next two or three years. <br />- 0% %OWMI-I%=nCrrQrvlt ruaN r v rxrMI-MV11- - <br />CCV needs to preserve, protect and restore all of the antiquities under their <br />stewardship, either in place or by relocation to a heritage village - perhaps <br />along the rail route or in poverty gulch. Special language for this needs to <br />be fully Implemented in a short period of time, with the mine's specific <br />commitment in place prior to the approval of the mine expansion plan. <br />CCV Shall provide a Map of the blasting area's that are within one mile of <br />Cripple Creek City limits, where their monitoring stations are to be located
