The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) appreciates all parties taking time to
participate in the review process of the above referenced application. The submittal of Mine Life
Extension 2 (MLE2) amendment was filed with the Division on March 5, 2012, by Cripple Creek & Victor
Gold (Applicant).
An explanation of the Division's review process, your rights as either a party or a non - party, and the
jurisdiction of the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board), is provided in the enclosed 12 -page memo,
Guide to Citizen Participation. As noted in the citizen's guide memo, in these proceedings the Division's
authority is limited to enforcement of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, 34 -32 -101 et seq.,
C.R.S. (Act), and the Mineral Rules and regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for
Hard Rock, Metal and Designated Mining Operations (Rules), which can be accessed on the Division's
website, www.mining.state.co.us.
Upon publication of the public notices for this amendment, the Division received timely letters of
objection. Copies of these letters were forwarded to the operator. Receipt of timely objections triggers
the requirement for the Division to schedule a Pre - hearing Conference. Pursuant to Rule 2.7.1, the
Division has scheduled a Pre - hearing Conference to occur on August 24, 2012, located at the City of
Victor Council Chambers, 500 Victor Ave., Victor, Colorado, beginning at 1:00 p.m. and concluding at or
before 3:00 p.m. Ms. Sandra Brown will preside as the Pre - hearing Conference Officer.
The MLE2 amendment application will be considered by the Board during a Formal Public Hearing
scheduled for September 12 -13, 2012. The Board meeting will be held at the Centennial Building, 1313
Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado, 80203, commencing at 9:00 a.m. on September 12, 2012
or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered.
The Pre - hearing Conference will be held to describe the Division's review process, to explain the rights
and responsibilities of parties, to discuss and resolve issues to the extent possible, to describe the Board
Hearing processes, to propose a list of issues under the Board's jurisdiction, to simplify that list, and to
identify parties. All parties must supply fifteen (15) copies of lists of any exhibits and witnesses the
parties intend to present at the Formal Board Hearing. List and exhibits must be exchanged between
the parties at the Pre - hearing Conference in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2.6(2). Failure
to participate in the Pre - hearing Conference will result in the loss of your party status.
