Fortunately Brock was available <br />to meet with me and was very helpful. <br />am sending this email as formal comment with regard to the referenced renewal application. <br />We believe the mine has not met it's requirement with regard to sound abatement. Sound from the mine <br />is a constant irritation. When friends come to visit, one of the first things they say is "What 's that noise ". <br />We appreciate the fact that the mine recognizes this issue. In fact several years some noise <br />measurements were taken. We are not of any follow up testing. <br />It was nice that Brock was able to help me navigate your very unfriendly web -site. <br />Unfortunately he was not able to show me how to find any records of the measurements that were taken <br />or that may have taken place sense. <br />As part of the renewal application we formally request that a condition to placed on the application to <br />require the mine to perform addition noise studies and be required to modify operation as necessary to <br />meet their permit noise guidelines. If there are no specific requirement in their permit then we believe the <br />permit should reference the State of Colorado general standards as the required standards. <br />Secondly sense June we have experience "house shakes ". At four time where we present to document <br />the time and date of the shake. Giving the mine the benefit of the doubt we checked out the possibility of <br />correlations with extremely small earthquakes. There were none. Based on discussions with geotechnical <br />engineers familiar with long wall mining it is our understanding that the shakes were most likely cause by <br />tunnel /shaft collapses during the mining operation. <br />We are asking that as a condition of the permit's renewal that mining operations be changed to prevent <br />the earth shakes that are affecting our home. <br />We look forward to receiving your response to these formal comments. <br />https: / /mai l.g oog le.conVmai 1 /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i k= e29129fcb5 &view = pt &search =i nboy&th= 142d96c646f35b87 4/5 <br />
