Hernandez <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Phil Sheridan Lode Mining Permit Application <br />MLRD File No. M-88-081 <br />Boulder County, Colorado <br />Dear Mr. Hernandez: <br />We received a copy of your letter to Mr. Harry D. Covey dated August 12, <br />1988, and since that time have talked with Mr. Covey concerning his applica- <br />tion. <br />We are still vehemently opposed to the proposed mining operation, and request <br />that a formal public hearing be held at the September 21-22, 1988 Board <br />Meeting. <br />Among our major concerns are the potential of illegal trespass on our land; <br />the potential problems associated with water run-off and diversions; the <br />potential problems of storing explosives and detonators (especially if it <br />is near residential homes and/or public school bus routes); the impact on <br />the wildlife in the area; and the impact on the environment in the area of <br />the mining operation. <br />Also, we have questions about Mr. Covey's plan to return the land to resi- <br />dential use in 1998. Does he have the financial resources to return the <br />land back to its natural condition, and does he have specific plans for <br />the removal of any tailings and the filling of any mine shafts? The Sun- <br />shine Canyon area already has too many dangerous, unfilled mine shafts <br />from old mining operations. <br />Once again, we feel that a formal public hearing is required to fully <br />disclose all concerned parties' opinions and concerns. <br />Thank you, <br />t <br />.C~ ` <br />Larry a Jd Christiansen <br />6191 Sunshine Canyon Dr. <br />Boulder, CO 80302 <br />
