2. Permitting. Are they in complete compliance with their permit?Did they have to obtain <br /> a Special Use Permit? Doesn't a Special Use Permit need to be `compatible with the <br /> area?' How is this compatible with the use of heavy industrial equipment being so close <br /> to a residential community? Has this area been over-mined, since this quarry has been <br /> constantly mining across Hwy 9 for years. <br /> 3. Legal times of operation. Is there a state,county or local ordinance against noise <br /> beginning at 8 a.m. every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday? <br /> 4. Inspection by the Air Quality Control Commission as to the health hazards on the <br /> effected community from the excavation and crusher emissions(as stated above). <br /> 5. Water. Inspection as to the entire operation of the gravel pit and its use of a `water pit' <br /> on the property,into which flows a muddy,polluted stream of crushed rocks on a <br /> constant basis. Is this sediment migrating and polluting our ground water and our once- <br /> pristine water aquifers from which our wells feed water into our homes? Do they have <br /> the proper water rights for this operation? <br /> As stated previously, in addition to the obvious dust, fumes and noise emanating from this gravel <br /> pit, we are also most upset about the degradation of the landscape across from our subdivision. <br /> It has ruined the aesthetics and natural beauty of the mountain area by our homes and continues <br /> to have a detrimental effect on our property values. No one wants to live or move to Beaver <br /> Ridge with the noisy,dusty,unhealthy and aesthetically unpleasing quarry across the road. <br /> Please present the above concerns to the Park County Board of County Commissioners and <br /> implement the above inspections as soon as possible. Quarry mines should not be allowed to <br /> operate near residential neighborhoods where the peace and quiet and health of its residents is in <br /> jeopardy and the resulting scar on the landscape ruins the aesthetics and the property values of <br /> its homeowners. <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Eileen dt r <br /> ohn Schmidt <br /> 189 Abandonedrail Road <br /> Beaver Ridge <br />
