Subject: Hearing Tommorrow 9am Gold Hill Cash Mine and Mill Boulder County Commissioners By Zoom or in person.


Dear All,

 
Sorry for the last minute notice.  I just found out today. 
 
As many of you know, I took a particular interest in the environmental impacts of the Cash Mine and Mill (Cash, Colorado Milling Company, LLC. ) during the 20 years I lived in Summerville and even later after I moved to Logan Mill.
 
I was recently made aware that the County is having a hearing on a challenge to a staff decision that under local rules Cash has lost it’s right to continue operations.
 
Staff determined that they ceased operations many years ago and therefore it lost its right to rely on its historic right (non-conforming use) and if they wanted to resume operations they would need to get a new permit under more modern considerations and rules. 
 
The Commissioners need to know that:
 
The local community cares about the Cash and its potential impact on the local community if it resumed operation.  
 
and/or
 
Folks who regularly drive or walk by the Cash area and have not observed any mining or milling operations for many years. 
 
What can you do:
 
Email the Commissioners: commissioners@nullbouldercounty.gov
 
Reference Docket AP-23-0001: Colorado Milling Company, LLC Appeal of termination of
Nonconforming Use 4-1003.H
