RECEIVED <br /> April 12th, 2016 APR 19 2016 <br /> Ms. Amy Eschberger DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety MINING&SAFETY <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Permit M-2016-010 <br /> Dear Ms. Eschberger, <br /> This letter is in regards to Transit Mix Concrete Company's application to open a new <br /> quarry on Hitch Rack Ranch near Colorado Springs, Colorado. <br /> My home is located at the east end of Little Turkey Creek Road. I object to this quarry <br /> proposal for the following reasons: <br /> 1. It will terribly affect the local eco system and wildlife to live in the area and mi- <br /> grate through the area <br /> 1.1 live close to the Little Turkey Creek and Deadman's canyons and I and many <br /> neighbors will suffer the effects of noise large quantities of dust. <br /> 2. It will create a tremendous amount of traffic on highway 115, which already <br /> has a lot of high speed truck traffic. <br /> 3. There are already three permitted quarries operating along Highway 115 that <br /> are able to provide construction materials. If more gravel is needed, these quarries <br /> should be expanded before a new one is approved. <br /> Thanks for your consideration. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> Rand Hassell <br /> 3075 Little Turkey Creek Road <br /> Colorado Springs, CO 80926 <br /> (719) 314-7213 <br />
