<br /> 25. Concerns regarding conflict with the local developmentplan and/or Colorado easement law(El
<br /> Paso County Southwestern Hwy 115 Comprehensive Plan —any resource extraction operation should
<br /> be located minimum of two miles from any dissenting residents, etc.; Red Rock Valley Estates Water
<br /> District is state-approved source water protection plan for PWS ID 121700; El Paso County Major
<br /> Transportation Corridors Plan — Hwy 115, south of Fort Carson's main gate, is classified as

<br /> should be the basis upon which any development in the area is considered)

<br /> According to C.R.S. 34-32.5-115(4)(d),the Board or Office may deny a permit application if the proposed
<br /> operation is contrary to the laws or regulations of this state or the United States, including but not limited
<br /> to all federal, state, and local permits, licenses, and approvals, as applicable to the specific operation.
<br /> On March 11, 2016, the Division provided notice of the permit application to the Colorado Department
<br /> of Public Health and Environment, El Paso County, History Colorado, Colorado State Land Board,
<br /> Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Turkey Creek Soil Conservation District, El Paso County Soil Conservation
<br /> District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
<br /> The Division received comments on the application from History Colorado, Colorado Parks and Wildlife,
<br /> and Colorado Division of Water Resources. The agencies notified have not indicated any conflict of the
<br /> proposed operation with laws or regulations of this state or the United States. El Paso County has not
<br /> indicated any conflict with local zoning, local regulations, or the Master Plan for the proposed mine
<br /> operation.
<br /> Pursuant to Rule 6.4.13, the application affirmatively states that the proposed mine operation will obtain
<br /> a Special Use Permit and Construction Permits from El Paso County and a Hwy 115 Access Permit from
<br /> CDOT.
<br /> 26. Concerns regarding impact to constitutional rights(protection of land, environment, and public
<br /> health, safety, and well-being; we the people...with certain inalienable rights...to the pursuit of...life,
<br /> liberty, happiness)
<br /> (S.Harper, K.Rawson,M. McClurg, B. Chisnell, S.Rawson, G. Klein,S.Sovaiko,Joe Koscove,S.Koscove,Jack Koscove, M.Koscove,L.
<br /> Rogers, J. Miller, K. Troutt, J. Salazar Jr., M. Hodges, S. Samson, G. Sovaiko, M. Lths, B. Delgado, T. Swonger, J. Gard, D. Gard, M.

<br /> In these proceedings, the Division's jurisdiction is limited to enforcement of the specific requirements of
<br /> the Act and Rules. The Division considers all timely submitted comments in its review, but can address
<br /> only the issues that directly relate to the specific requirements of an application, as stated in the Act and
<br /> Rules.
<br /> 27. Concern that at least one groundwater well within Eagles Nest was omitted from the Exhibit G
