I am currently a party member and have been since the <br />beginning of Wildcat's application process. I am also a property owner directly across the County Road <br />from this proposed mining operation. For four years now I have seen first-hand what this so called <br />"green" mining company has destroyed. None of their destruction has been reclamated even though it <br />was ALL done under the watchful eye of the Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety. I feel that prior <br />to anymore destruction Wildcat needs to reclamate what they have destroyed and start again. <br />Wildcat has moved two entire mills onto the property, torn down and built bridges across the La Plata <br />River (with an unsafe weight load limit), left barrels of dripping oil and other caustic chemicals on the <br />property, built at least 4 roads, created two new portals (one that collapsed already) and dug tailings <br />ponds directly above the pristine La Plata River. These ponds are without sufficient cribbing and partially <br />on U.S.F.S. property. Also there are many file photos of the road they created without permits that is <br />currently sloughing down into a wetland pond and the La Plata River. They have piled debris that is <br />blocking the water flow of the Little Deadwood Creek. This has all been done under the watchful eye of <br />the Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety. You have to ask yourself what they will do if they are <br />permitted. <br />Wildcat's monetary fines have been so minimal (or not at all) that it is laughable. How in the world <br />would anybody be pro-wildcat with this track record? This is not a stand-up company. Again, the <br />destruction that they have created so far should be reclamated and they should be fined for their <br />blatant noncompliance of rules and regulations. <br />Attached to this letter of protest I have included a complaint for Wildcats improper public notice <br />timeline with no application on file with the La Plata County Clerk's office. <br />For a quick reminder of some of their destruction you may consider logging on to our new web site <br />at; www.stopwildcatmine.com. <br />Sincerely; <br />r74. <br />1 <br />Lisa Giovanniello <br />4557 County Road 124 <br />Hesperus, Co. 81325 <br />970-385-7573 <br />JAN 3 ? 20ii <br />pivision of fkeciam6on, <br />hiisdng and Safety
