In <br />today's troubled economy, homegrown business and industry will help our local economies. Mining in this area <br />carries a long tradition, a tradition that ultimately brought Colorado into statehood. This year marked the 150 <br />Anniversary of the discovery of gold in Clear Creek County. <br />I am familiar with Venture Resources' project, and am specifically aware that: <br />• A mineral processing mill and tailings impoundment is proposed. <br />• The project will be processing abandoned mine waste rock. <br />• This is a local company that plans on hiring local residents and supporting local businesses. <br />By processing abandoned mine waste rock and removing the acid forming and heavy metal contaminants, the <br />proposed project will go a long way to beginning to improve the conditions of the Clear Creek watershed. Finally, a <br />pro -active solution instead of the current ones that do little, or nothing. Covering up the problem or just spending <br />tax dollars studying it does not solve the problem. <br />I would like to encourage the DRMS to proceed, with haste, in approv the permit for this proposed operation. <br />Sincerely, 7 <br />r f <br />Printed: —J 44 777 if S � �� 77 <br />Address: c q C, 4 L <br />f7 s p a . �7jS C.O D• <br />g © Vs a <br />
