July 31, 2016 <br />Division of Reclamation <br />Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: Fremont Paving & Redi-Mix <br />Permit # M2016009./ <br />RECEIVED <br />- AUG 0 4 2016 <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br />MINING AND SAFETY <br />Comments Received <br />Opposition letter <br />We have just learned about the Badger Hill gravel mining project. We want to go on record as opposing <br />this project. Our property and homes are located south of Olsen Road at the end of 41 Y2 Lane. The <br />Bessemer Ditch is approximately 200 feet from our home. The proposed mining will include land <br />directly across the Bessemer Ditch. We have lived quietly on this property for fifty years. Our son has <br />built a home on this property also. We have enjoyed sitting on our porch watching the wildlife; <br />antelope, occasional deer, fox, coyotes, etc. Now in our declining years, we have health problems. <br />If this project is approved, we will be impacted by 1) dust and pollution, 2) noise from equipment, <br />trucks, etc. The impact on our lives will be great. We live here because of the solitude. <br />Nature is bad enough with the wind and dust without compounding it by disturbing the soil. The soil <br />south of the Bessemer Ditch is very fragile. If disturbed it will cause dirt to blow. When CIG put the gas <br />line through south of the Bessemer ditch, even though they "revegetated it", it caused dust black outs <br />blowing through our yards. This continued for several years. The winds in this area shift directions <br />constantly. This will impact our health greatly. <br />Now, after 50 years, we may be forced to move for health reasons due to the dust and noise pollution <br />caused by excavation gravel in our back yard. Please stop this project. <br />Sincerely, <br />Vesta and Melvin Provost <br />2227 41 Y2 Lane <br />Avondale, CO 81022 <br />v -in Ani - <br />Mary and Tim Provost <br />2227 41 Y: Lane <br />Avonaaie, LU 811 <br />l <br />Tom Provost <br />2227 41 Y2 Lane <br />Avondale, CO 81022 <br />
