It is proposed for a larger 112 Mining Permit situated in the <br />NW % of Section 21, T8N, R53W of the 6thPM Logan County Colorado for the extraction of construction <br />materials. <br />First, the southern border of the proposed expansion is very near our northern property line of Lot 9 2.36 <br />acres Sand Creek Estates, Logan County, Sterling, CO. We have young children that play outside and we do <br />not believe this will be a safe environment for them to grow up near. Secondly, when we purchased our lot it <br />was proposed that the potential of future residences could be constructed to the north of our property, as <br />shown on the enclosure. We most certainly are not in agreement of this un -safe, visually unpleasant gravel <br />pit. Third, our property value will most certainly be negatively affected by this expansion. Valuation takes into <br />account the quality of the neighborhood surroundings and the view currently of the natural, country <br />landscape is absolutely more appealing than a gigantic mine with the obtrusive noise of heavy equipment. <br />Lastly, we have a child with severe allergies to dust and the particulates in the air, which the expansion mine <br />would cause, will most likely cause adverse reactions. This presents a severe health concern for our family. <br />In closing, we hope our comments prohibit this mining operation application from gaining approval. <br />Sincerely, <br />-may <br />Greg o0jocom <br />
