POI NT SEVEN OPERATIONS CCV 1Nme Permit Coannems City of Cripple Creek June 11, 2008 Page 4 earlier harvesting, those areas have Reclaimed themselves and are now mature. The residents and visitors of Cripple Creek enjoy their beauty and a significant number of visitors come to this area to enjoy the turning of the aspens. It would be disingenuous for CCV to say there was no economic impact to Cripple Creek for the harvesting. Further the plan they propose will provide years of simply ugly mining activity. The proposed reclamation plan chooses to leave an entire benched Rock Face with no vegetation, which begs the question "How is that Reclamation'. It is undoubtly an insult to the City and the common sense of our society. POINT FOUR - LIVING UP TO THEIR PROMISES CCV should be doing what their representatives have told Cripple Creek and Victor that they promised from the beginning and that it would be redeveloping the downtown of Victor. They have supported the Lowell Thomas Museum but a lot is left to be done, and there is virtually no redevelopment sponsored by the mines POINT FIVE - A COMPR HENSIVE a AN FOR RECONSTRUCTING THE TRAIN TO VICTOR CCV needs to be fostering a plan for a train from Cripple Creek to Victor and not in 10 or 20 years, the plan needs to be now and the execution needs to begin over the next two or three years. RESTORE AND RELOCATE THE ANTIQUITIES CCV needs to preserve, protect and restore all of the antiquities under their stewardship, either in place or by relocation to a heritage village • perhaps along the rail route or In poverty gulch. Special language for this needs to be Italy implemented in a short period of time, with the mine's specific commibnent in place a prior bo the approval of the mine expansion plan. CCV Shall provide a Map of the blasting area's that are within one mile of Cripple Creek City limits, where their monitoring stations are to be located
