It has been brought to my attention that <br />Transit Mix Concrete Company is looking to put in a cement facility in southwest <br />Colorado Springs, within less than a mile from homes in that area. Do they know how far <br />this fine particle dust that's being created can fly? If similar to pollen, it can impact the <br />airways of asthma and COPD patients as far as 3-4 miles away. There needs to be due <br />diligence among the Division of Reclamation Mining & Safety to make sure that this is not <br />going to create an unnecessary respiratory burden for the patients in this area of <br />Colorado Springs. <br />Thank you for your consideration in this potential health issue. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Robert A.
