Truck traffic and blasting noise would increase in an area where people are presently <br /> enduring more aviation noise due to recent addition of helicopters at Fort Carson. <br /> I have read the Exhibits in the Permit Application that deal with Wildlife, <br /> Vegetation, and Reclamation. Reclamation (two Exhibits) deals mainly with re- <br /> establishment of plants. Attached is a copy of some of my reactions to these Exhibits. <br /> These comments are based on my college teaching and field research experience <br /> involving the flora and fauna of the Pikes Peak Region since 1962. There are significant <br /> errors, omissions, and other issues in these exhibits. Overall, they underestimate the <br /> biological richness of the present setting, and vastly understate the difficulty of recovery <br /> after quarrying. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> James H. Enderson <br />
