In fact this new <br />home and lot are directly next door to the proposed new gravel pit, asphalt plant and concrete production <br />facilities known as Kirkland Highway 9 Gravel Pit and I have major environmental and safety concerns with this <br />application and am in opposition of the proposed 111 Permit Application filed for this project. <br />Specifically, I understand that the soils report refers to the presence of ground water near the shale layer and I <br />am concerned as to how any potential contamination will affect the ground water. <br />Secondly, we are on well and septic system and have major concerns with the potential leakage of fuel, oils and <br />greases into the water aquifers that our systems rely on. My well hit water at only approx. 120', possibly through <br />the same layer of shale as the proposed Pit and related production operations next door. <br />Thirdly, we are also concerned that this application allows the applicant to wash aggregate which will include <br />fines and silts which also have the potential of leaching and affecting our wells and septic systems. <br />Lastly, I am concerned about the general safety for our families and our quality of life with this proposed <br />operation permitted to operate as located. <br />Attached are several photos ... a video of the site, an aerial map showing the site in relation to my home and Blue <br />Valley Acres and the Blue River, and a photo from the deck of my house showing the proposed site. <br />
