- Comments on the Closure of the Buckhorn Mine | October 3, 2016
- Comments on the Adaptive Management Plan | May 30, 2014
- OHA explained problems with the 2006 AMP and suggested changes that would make the plan approvable.

- Gold Bowl Water Quality | July 2, 2010
- OHA’s comments on the Kinross/Crown Resources June 24, 2010 letter to the Washington Department of Ecology regarding the Action Plan for Observed Seepage in Gold Bowl Creek.
