G. Everist � ( _ <br /> 7321 E. 88th Avenue,Suite 200 <br /> Henderson, CO 80640 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> Per the enclosed copy of a letter dated July 8,2016 from L.G. Everist,we are presenting our comments_ <br /> regarding the proposed amendment permit application to the current gravel mining operation location at <br /> 6254 Weld County Rd. 26. <br /> We live directly south of the current mining operation. In fact,we owned the current property L.G. Everist <br /> mines and they negotiated the contract to mine the property with us with mining beginning in 2001. At that <br /> time,the plan was to be done with the project by approximately 2006. Because of the economy,that did not <br /> happen and in 2013 we sold that acreage to L.G. Everist retaining the acreage our home is on. <br /> Although the attached letter indicates we cannot express concerns to the state regarding basic issues,we do <br /> wish to express our concerns regarding the fact that L.G. Everist does not do basic weed control and does not <br /> water the roads,among other things. Our biggest concern should this amendment be approved is the time <br /> frame. The letter indicates the end date for the mining operation to be 2036. As a part of the sale of our 60 <br /> acres to L. G. Everist,we granted them a temporary easement on our driveway which is scheduled to <br /> terminate once the pit has been finalized and sealed (they will maintain 2 utility easements across the <br /> driveway). We do not want to have to wait now until 2036 for that to happen. We want the east side of the <br /> current pit sealed and the necessary work to finalize that side of the pit completed prior to a new pit going in <br /> on the west side. <br /> We are more than happy to speak with you at any time, please don't hesitate to contact either Ted at 970- <br /> 396-7499 or Linda at 303-517-1063. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> / Ted and Linda Lohmann <br /> V 6474 Weld County Rd. 26 <br /> Longmont, CO 80504 <br /> Enclosure <br />
