RE: Permit No. M2016010
Ms. Amy Eschberger;
In the matter of Permit No. M2016010 for Transit Mlx, currently before the Colorado Division of
Reclamation, Mining and Safety, I am already a party with Carrie Bernstein of Alderman Bernstein as
my attorney. I received a certified letter from Transit Mix, dated June 161h 2016, stating that the CDRMS
had required that I be sent a copy of the public newspaper notice as a property owner in Eagles Nest. It
further stated that I was allowed to submit further comments or objections to CDRMS by July 8t'2016
at 4 P.M.
In addition to the previous objections submitted by myself and my attorney, I have the following
additional objections:
A substantive blasting plan was missing in the application. My concerns arise about the blasting and it's
potential damage to Little Turkey Creek Rd. and to my properties in Eagles Nest to the West of the
quarry. My properties are well within a one mile radius of the affected lands as is Little Turkey Creek Rd
(from google earth likely about 0.4 mile).
1) The application indicates that the mining operation will not use Little Turkey Creek Rd., but
how will they get to the points at which it will be blocked during blasting without using the
road? Will they also use the road to patrol the affected lands? How will they block
residents from ingress and egress for their property? How long, best case and worst case,
will they block property owners? What other mining uses will they put the road to?
2) How will they maintain safety on Little Turkey Creek Rd. from rock slides in the several areas
in and adjacent to the affected lands that are likely rock slide areas. How will they maintain
safety if massive erosion occurs frequently because of removal of vegetation including
