<br /> 80. Ex h -states turkeys mostly use lower parts of HRR & "not common in mining area"(what
<br /> research used as basis for this statement?locals frequently see turkeys in this area as drive
<br /> on LTC rd, turkey sightings almost daily, turkeys prob. roost in cottonwoods & loiter in
<br /> daytime in adjacent dense forest, turkeys very intolerant of industrial operations such as
<br /> mining)
<br /> (S. Fentman,J. Townsend S.Bell,J.Enderson,S,Firks, W.Baker,M. Baker, W. Sheaves,A.Sheaves,A.Sickels,L. Pecoraro,
<br /> N.Reed W.Flaharty,J.Rigdon,K.Rigdon, T. Offutt,S. Diggs, W.Diggs,L.Steer, P.Ragan, C.Ragan, G. Cousineau, C.

<br /> 81. Ex t-emergency action plan provides steps for hurricane but no plans for wildfires—
<br /> wildfire are common threat in area -so should add to emergency plan, this entire area of
<br /> front range determined to be in "extreme fire danger"by CO Forest Service
<br /> (N.Reed, C.Hancock, D. Hancock, G. McCovicen,H. Wright)
<br /> 82. Ex t-emergency action plan does not include plans for if sediment ponds overflow during
<br /> heavy rain events, as required by rule 8
<br /> (N.Reed)
<br /> 83. Geotech assessment-pg 17-says instrumented gw monit holes should be considered behind
<br /> highwalls where natural topography continues above pit crest-proposes 4 potential install
<br /> locations in proposed pit development for area N of LTC-does op intend to do this?
<br /> (N.Reed)
<br /> 84. Geotech assessment-pg 17-only mentions minimizing blasting damage to final pit walls-
<br /> no mention of impacts to off-site locs (eagles nest property, ltc rd) - what measures taken to
<br /> assure no offsite impact from blasting?
<br /> (N. Reed)
<br /> 85. Geotech assessment-pg 17-mentions pit slope movement monitoring should be conducted
<br /> @ routine time intervals w/EDM/Prism surveying, laser scanning, and/or extensometers-
<br /> should be developed during initial mining (as it will be influenced by wall performance) &
<br /> implemented as final highwalls start to be developed-does op intend to do this?
<br /> (N. Reed)
<br /> 86. Geotech assessment-fig g.2 -shows proposed design for catch berms-should catch 99% of
<br /> rocks that fall- what protection will be added to ensure I% of rocks not caught by berms
<br /> from falling/rolling onto LTC rd at base of quarry pits?
<br /> (N.Reed)
<br /> 87. Owner of one of closest wells to proposed quarry-but not shown on well map in app
<br /> (C. Hancock, D.Hancock)
<br /> 88. Invasion of privacy-ex: spoke with man drilling up there one day-said could see chuck
<br /> sitting on deck drinking coffee every morning
