The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) appreciates you taking time to
participate in the review process of the above referenced application. The application for CN-
01 was filed with the Division on January 10, 2011, by Wildcat Mining Corporation (Applicant).
Through CN-01, the Applicant attempts to satisfy the corrective actions of five violations issued
by the Mined Land Reclamation Board during 2009 and 2010. Additionally, through CN-01 the
Applicant intends to incorporate affected lands previously associated with the Idaho Mill and
Idaho Mine into the May Day Mine permit.
An explanation of the Division's review process, your rights as either a party or a non-party, and
the jurisdiction of the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board), is provided in the enclosed 12-
page memo, Guide to Citizen Participation. As noted in the citizen's guide memo, in these
proceedings the Division's authority is limited to enforcement of the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Act, 34-32-101 et seg., C.R.S. (Act), and the Mineral Rules and regulations of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal and Designated Mining
Operations (Rules), which can be accessed on the Division's website, www.mining.state.co.us.
The Division has received written objections to CN-01. Therefore, pursuant to Rule 1.4.9(2)(a)
and 1.7.4(2), the Division has scheduled the application for a Formal Board Hearing for
consideration. The hearing has been scheduled for the July 13 -14, 2011 Board meeting, which
will occur at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as
soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. During the hearing the Board will consider
the application with objections and may decide to approve, approve with conditions or deny
the application for CN-01.
Pursuant to Rule 2.7.1, the Division has scheduled a Pre-hearing Conference for June 29, 2011,
which will occur at the Anasazi Room (County Commissioners Room) of the La Plata County .
