Long <br />Divismn Dircnm <br />Re: Eagle No. 5 and 9 Mines (C-81-044) Technical Revision No. 25 <br />Deaz Mr. Rose: <br />The Division contacted your office concerning proposed development drilling in the Big <br />Bottom area of the Yampa River by Cyprus Empire's Eagle No. 5 and 9 Mine operation in <br />a letter dated November 3, 1994. The Division received comments from your office in a <br />letter dated November 18, 1994 regarding potential impacts of this proposed drilling. These <br />comments were forwarded on to Cyprus Empire Corp. <br />On December 5, 1994 Cyprus Empire responded to these concerns. Cyprus Empire has <br />stated that they do not anticipate any water depletion associated with this drilling project. <br />Additionally, the precautions outlined in the Fish and Wildlife Service letter have been <br />incorporated into Cyprus's permit page 2.05.3-21RA. The Division determined that Cyprus <br />Empire had adequately addressed the issues set forth by your office with their response. <br />The Division has issued a proposed decision to approve this revision. <br />This proposed decision will have been published in a public notice in the Northwest <br />Colorado Daily Press sometime between December 6, 1994 and December 9, 1994. This <br />publication initiates a ten (10) day public comment period. I am including a copy of <br />Cyprus's responses to your office. Should you have additional comments or concerns <br />regarding this revision, please contact me by December 16, 1994. <br />Thank you for your comments regarding this revision. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~/,/^f <br />,``l~Y ~~:M M <br />(Janet ` Bi <br />~nv~or ental Protection Specialist <br />~II ~I~~I~~I~~~~~~I~ <br />999 <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />c:\jhb\c81044\tr25.kr <br />Enclosure <br />
