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 />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 At <br />ohn Schmidt <br />189 Abandonedrail Road <br />Beaver Ridge <br />
