<br />Re: Edna Mine, C1980 -001, Permit Renewal No.6, Preliminary Adequacy Letter
<br />Dear Mr. Tarazoff:
<br />The Division has reviewed Chevron Mining Inc.'s application for permit renewal of the Edna Mine,
<br />C1980 -001, Permit Renewal application No. 6. The Division has the following comments or concerns:
<br />1. The Division has identified discrepancies in the Permit Renewal application Acreage values. The
<br />applicant's total for total disturbed area, affected area, permit acreage, and private surface acreage do
<br />not agree with the Division's database. The Division's database was last corrected on September 20,
<br />2000. Please bring Chevron's acreage values into agreement with the Division's database.
<br />The Division received comments from the Colorado Historical Society (SHPO) on June 2, 2011. The
<br />SHPO noted four cultural sites, three sites deemed not eligible for listing on the National Register of
<br />Historic Places, and a fourth site that was unevaluated. If the sites are proposed to be within areas
<br />proposed for disturbance, the Division would need to consult with SHPO. Since there is no new
<br />disturbance proposed with this renewal, and all areas remaining within the permit area are reclaimed,
<br />permanent structures, or previously received final bond release, no further action regarding historic or
<br />cultural resources is required.
<br />The groundwater and surface water sections of the permit were reviewed for compliance with Rules
<br />2.05.3(4), 2.05.6(3), 2.06.8, and 4.05. The operator reported to CDPHE and the Division exceedances
