operator intends to perform maintenance activities on county roads, they should contact <br />Clear Creek County's Road and Bridge Department for appropriate permits. <br />Water Supply — The applicant indicates that Idaho Springs will be the water source for <br />1700 gallons of water per day for consumptive use. Since the site is not within the city <br />limits of Idaho Springs, it would be helpful to have documentation of or contracts for that <br />legal and physical water supply. <br />Source of Material to be Processed — The Mining Plan indicates that a phased approach <br />will be used and that during Phase 1 waste rock and ore from the Tailings Impoundment <br />Area and "from other locations" will be processed. Were the "other locations" specified <br />in the narrative and on the maps? <br />Impoundment Area — Is the Impoundment Area protected from stormwater drainage? <br />Should it be? <br />As a final comment regarding the process of adding to or changing information in <br />any application once it is placed in the County Clerk's Office for public review: We <br />are finding that applicants request that a page be added to the record specifying that <br />material has been added to the file on a specific date. However, it seems that applicants <br />are not required to identify what information is being added or what changes are being <br />made. It would be helpful to members of the public to have that information identified <br />on the notice of addition. For example, when information is inserted in a 3'inch thick <br />file, a reader must go through the entire file, searching for changes or additions. In some <br />cases applicants have inserted new information without dating the changes. Tracking <br />these changes and understanding their significance can be challenging. A minor change <br />to your requirements — one requiring that a copy of changes be attached to the notice that <br />is inserted at the front of the file could be of substantial assistance the public. <br />Thank you, again, for the opportunity to review this application and for consideration of <br />the issues we have identified. <br />Sincerely <br />Jo Ann Sorensen <br />Clear Creek County Land Use Division Director <br />
