As the permit application is both inadequate and <br />incomplete with regard to the impacts of the proposed project, Colorado law, and <br />Federal laws, we will not need any expert witnesses but rather will rely primarily on the <br />permit application itself to support our concerns with the project. <br />Documents to which we may refer include: <br />• the permit application and its associated exhibits and documents <br />• the Anasazi Culture Multiple-Use Area ACEC Plan Management Guidelines <br />• 12 January 1998 letter from the Hopi Tribe <br />• the Colorado Construction Materials Rule <br />• documents from the Division of Minerals and Geology file regarding the <br />project, including correspondence between DMG staff and the project proponen[s and <br />their agents, also letters to/from the Bureau of Land Management, the Colorado <br />Historical Society, and project objectors <br />Thank you for your ongoing consideration of our concerns. <br />Sine rely, <br />-~ <br />ee R.
