Dear Mr. Boyd:
Goldbelt has reviewed the Coeur Alaska,
Inc. Kensington XL Pilot Project application dated July 14, 1995. Goldbelt,
Inc. supports your application as it will provide a means for the Kensington
Project to meet all necessary environmental standards in a cost effective
and technically feasible manner.
As proposed in this application, effluent which has received enhanced
treatment will be discharged into fresh water rather than the marine
waters of Lynn Canal. This will allow the Kensington Project to meet
environmentally safe standards while alleviating local concerns about
discharges into the marine waters of an important fisheries area. Goldbelt
as one of the owners of Health Sea, Inc., a firm which purchases fish
from the Lynn Canal fishermen, considers this an important environmental
benefit.
Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation may forward this letter of support to
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Beedle
President and Chief Executive Officer
