BOARD Of COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> T i � <br /> San Juan County <br /> P.O. Box 466 Silverton, Colorado 81433 303-387-5671 <br /> 37<F- <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Board September 27 , 1993 <br /> Division of Minerals and Geology <br /> 1313 Sherman Street , Room 215 <br /> Denver , Colorado 80203 <br /> Ref : Technical Revision for Sunnyside Gold Corporation. <br /> Dear Board Members , <br /> This letter is written in response to the notice for public hearing to <br /> be held by the Mined Land Reclamation Board regarding the placement of four <br /> reinforced concrete bulkheads at the Sunnyside mine . <br /> To require Sunnyside Gold Corporation to plug the portals is a major <br /> mistake that represents a permanent loss of valuable mining property. It <br /> is always possible that future technology could create an opportunity for <br /> renewed mining activity. <br /> I believe that there is no significant damage occurring from the water <br /> that is discharged from Sunnyside mining properties . The greatest amount <br /> of pollution in these waters occurs naturally. <br /> Current regulations are too severe and impose unnecessary restriction <br /> on a company that has provided a great economic stability to the local area <br /> and contributed to the federal coffers as well . <br /> I ask that you absolve Sunnyside Gold from any further responsibility; <br /> and that you make every effort to consider the needs of the mining industry <br /> and the communities that it serves , and work to initiate appropriate change <br /> in legislation. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �'i 1- <br /> Richard Periric, , Commiss toner <br /> 19003 San Juan Couni-y; Colorado <br />
