Please find enclosed a copy of the NOI and a letter of final approval from <br />DBMS. <br />We write to inquire if the Lucky Jack Project has also received a municipal watershed permit <br />from the Town of Crested Butte pursuant to the Crested Butte Municipal Watershed Ordinance <br />(Ordinance No. 6, Series 2008) and Section 31-15-707(1)(b) Colorado Revised Statutes?
