Maisel Trucking has been working for payments in shares, as have many of the other contractors.
As far as the "fast track", I guess I was not clear. The time frame excludes the DRMS process. The 4 to 6 weeks referred to in past discussions would be after approval of the TR. However if you read the correspondence from them, there are only a very few points that the DRMS wanted clarification on.
Environmental groups have already appeared, and were rebuked by the DRMS. One anti-mining group (INFORM) tried to insert themselves into the approval hearing and derail the process. They came to the meeting with demands that the prescribed specifications and requirements were inadequate. They tried to have the DRMS do things "INFORM's way". The DRMS concisely told them that they were at the wrong forum to try to change the regulations. INFORM's objections were dismissed expediently.
I have seen no other environmental groups object to the pond recovery process. Actually there is a local group that is supporting the process. The Anamas River Clean Water group, (or similar name, I am sure I do not have it correct) has been trying to get more recovery projects like this underway. If you are unfamiliar with the ecological disaster that befell the Anamas River, I suggest you do a quick Internet search for it. It will explain a lot of the political and economic attitudes that has effected many mining projects in Colorado, particularly in the San Juan county area. It will also help explain the $500+K environmental bond imposed on CGFI.
From my research, I do not believe that environmental groups (if any more try to object to CGFI's progress) will be successful. The only item left that they can request to become a party to would be the TR for the dry stack repository. Actually, they have already attempted to do so, and their complaints were judged to be unreasonable and excessive. (You can find their correspondence in the DRMS website files. Search for "INFORM")
Your point is well taken, Sanbrunobaby. My viewpoint has always been that when it comes to projects involving government regulations, "You don't know what you don't know"! Or if you prefer a quote from Gilda Radner's "Roseanne Roseannadana": "It's always something. If it ain't one thing, it's another"

Don't take my word for it, Do your own research! Then you will know it's true!
