December 3, 2009 <br />CO Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Subject: Venture Resources' Hukill Gulch Millsite Application <br />Dear DRMS Board and Staff: <br />I am writing as a local business to show my su rt for Venture Resources' proposed operation, the Hukill Gulch <br />Millsite project. <br />As a local business, I am pleased to see renewed hardrock metal mining activity in Clear Creek county. In today's <br />troubled economy, homegrown business and industry will help our local economies. Mining m this area carries a <br />long tradition; a tradition that ultimately brought Colorado into statehood. This year marked the 150 Anniversary <br />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 Creels 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 DBMS to proceed, without haste, in approving the permit for this proposed operation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Printed: <br />Title: C9W <br />Business: C G � Zek - Sv L <br />Address: <br />Address: Z `tY C,060 T(-,D. -T- G' 3'o�ts"2- <br />
