rs� Date: July 3, 2016 �Re: Comments/Objections Hitch Rack Quarry application: Mining Permit M2016010 To: Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 To Whom It May Concern/ Ms. Eschberger: �'JUL U Z016 DIVISION OF RECLAMATION MINING AND SAFETY The undersigned are homeowners within the Eagles Nest Subdivision.. Our home and property is located at 2140 Little Turkey Creek Road - one of the properties directly contiguous to the proposed quarry. This letter constitutes an objection to the proposed quarry; specifically the proposed Reclamation and Mining Development at Hitch Rack Ranch, submitted by Transit Mix Concrete Company, Permit No. M2016010. Though we are not members in the Eagles Nest Association we incorporate by reference the objections raised by the Eagles Nest Association to the proposed quarry as well as the objections filed by Charles and Nancy Reed. Though we have myriad objections to the proposed quarry, given the apparent parochial jurisdiction of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, a paramount concern is damage to our persons and property ranging from at minimum disruption/contamination of nearby wells to possible permanent loss of water; safety to property and persons given the blasting operations. It is also a concern about environmental impact including, but not limited to, possible toxins or other waste materials from the mining operation that may leech into contiguous properties. There is an easement for Little Turkey Creek that traverses the proposed quarry that will be disturb if not impede safe ingress and egress to our property. Please notify the undersigned of any scheduled meetings or other developments concerning the proposed quarry application. Sincerely, Barbara L. Hughes and Judy Kline 3011 Springridge Drive, Colorado Springs Colorado 80906 Ph. (719) 963-2961(cell)
