Lewicki & Associates <br /> ENGINEERING I GEOLOGY I ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> November 29, 2022 <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman St, Rm 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 P <br /> Delivered Via Email pF O <br /> RE: eld Hill Mill, Permit No. M-1994-117 <br /> P <br /> Mr. Patrick Lennberg <br /> Colorado Milling Company is providing the following response to the October 17, 2022 <br /> incompleteness notice number two for the CN-1 application of Gold Hill Mill, M-1994-117. <br /> Application Form <br /> A new application form is attached to this letter. The appropriate quarter section has been <br /> marked, the responsibilities as a permittee properly initialed, and the certification page <br /> corrected. <br /> Exhibit G Source of Legal Right to Enter <br /> The Gold Hill Mill permit area approved in AM-1 contains both patented and unpatented Bureau <br /> of Land Management claims. To this end, Colorado Milling Company has submitted complete <br /> information for the BLM for a Plan of Operations modification that incorporates the waterline and <br /> addresses various outstanding questions the BLM has regarding the Gold Hill Mill operation. <br /> BLM certified the Plan of Operations as complete for review on June 6, 2013. BLM is now <br /> conducting public comment and review of the Plan. CMC believes this completeness <br /> certification by BLM is sufficient legal right of entry for the review of the CN-1 application by <br /> CDRMS. CMC acknowledges that no operations may take place at Gold Hill Mill without an <br /> approved BLM Plan of Operations in place. <br /> A brief portion of the permit area near Left Hand Creek is on US Forest Service administered <br /> land. CMC has submitted an application for Transportation, Utility Systems, <br /> Telecommunications, and Facilities on Federal Lands and Property to the USFS for this portion <br /> of the Left Hand Creek waterline. USFS has the application and is reviewing it, currently. A copy <br /> of the email acknowledging receipt from the Boulder Ranger District is attached. CMC believes <br /> that this application to USFS and their acknowledgement of it is sufficient legal right of entry for <br /> the review of the CN-1 application by CDRMS. CMC acknowledges that no operations may take <br /> place at Gold Hill Mill without approval of this application to the USFS. <br /> CN-1 covers the exact same permit area as AM-1, which is approved. During the AM-1 review, <br /> CMC acknowledged that BLM and USFS permitting needed to be completed prior to operations. <br /> CMC will pursue and secure these permits in the same manner as any mine operator must <br /> pursue permits with applicable federal agencies, prior to operating. These permits are not <br /> necessary for CDRMS to review the components of CN-1 that are different from AM-1, such as <br /> the Environmental Protection Plan and Emergency Response Plan.
