Per Rule 1.9.1 the decision date is thirty days from the date of this letter, <br />which is February 7, 2011. <br />Staff review notes some issues that must be clarified in order to reach a decision on the <br />request. Please clarify the following: <br />• The supplied map notes "portions of waste rock dump to be removed". It appears that <br />portions of the area are outside the permit boundaries. Please clarify. <br />• The revision notes the building is a mill. Text refers more to a crushing and concentrator <br />process. By definition, milling requires physical and chemical processes to separate ore <br />form host rock. Waste rock or tailings are produced as part of a milling process. Please <br />submit information on the type of equipment to be housed in the building, a process <br />diagram showing all processes from start to finished product and details of any waste <br />rock generation and disposal. <br />• While it is noted that the building does not have a fixed foundation what is the final <br />disposition of the structure upon reclamation? <br />• Please clarify what the building materials for the structure are and its approximate <br />height. <br />• Please clarify that no other local approvals such as a county special or conditional use <br />permits are required. <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
