Noise. The noise levels, day and night, for weeks, months, and years on end will greatly reduce our <br />ability to be outside of the houses and may even impinge on our well-being in the houses themselves. <br />The noise levels from the mining operations would have permanent damage to the ears of our young <br />grandchildren first and potentially affect the hearing ability of adults. Again, this just not seem fair. How <br />could a company be allowed to mine gravel in such close proximity to our family? Why should I not <br />benefit from the full pleasure of living in and out of doors due to this mining operation? Mining owners <br />and employees leave the worksite and retire to homes without the dust and noise that we will endure <br />twenty -four -seven. <br />My wife and I have lived on the farm for nine years and we have poured every available effort and <br />resource into improving the farm — remodeling one house, building an addition to the other house, <br />building fences and storage sheds, re -roofing and residing our tractor shed, constructing beautiful <br />flower gardens, maintaining the health of our trees, and installing solar panels. I only have a year or two <br />left to work and a reduction in the value of our land will put our retirement goals out of reach. It is not <br />fair that the mining operation would jeopardize our retirement and could cause us to sell our farm at <br />prices well below current market price. <br />Please find that this damage caused by this mining operations is untenable in this day and age when <br />environmental health is so important. Please stop the mining operation. <br />Regards, <br />Jerry J Johnson, PhD <br />Professor and Extension Specialist <br />Office phone 970-491-1454 <br />Cell phone 970-690-9259 <br />Email address:` <br />t /c, � t K�.�'�- )o n Sp�"t Gc � � <br />
