X'~ <br />~ Gunnison Conservation District <br />216 North Colorado, Gunnison, Colorado 81230 • (970) 642-4461 <br />Y <br />September 17, 2008 <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Board Members, <br /> <br /> <br />~,~~€~~Icg ~a~~~ ~v~~Yy <br />.~ <br />RE: LKA International Inc., Golden Wonder Mine, Permit No. M-1978-091-UG <br />The Gunnison Conservation District in reviewing the proposed amendment did not see any <br />reference to future site reclamation/revegetation. The District would just like to make sure that <br />reclamation/revegetation does expand with this amendment to areas of new disturbance. The <br />main concerns of course are soil erosion, water quality and the spread of invasive species. <br />We imagine with the level of oversight that has taken place in recent past that the Bureau of <br />Land Management as well as the Division of Reclamation,lVlining and Safety have already kept <br />this in mind when evaluating any future actions of this proposed mine activity. <br />We know that everyone concerned is taking into account the long-term future of our natural <br />resources and how extraction activities can occur as one of a the multiple-uses out on the land. <br />If you have any questions, please contact us at, 970-641-0494 <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~/~ <br />Jim Cochran, President <br />Gunnison Conservation District <br />Cc: Gunnison Field Office, Bureau of Land Management <br />CONSERVATION • DEVELOPMENT •SELF-GOVERNMENT <br />
