I live along the highway 115 corridor near the proposed site of the <br />Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry. This is a letter of ob'ection o the application M2017-049 based on <br />the adverse effect the quant' will have on both the environment and quality of life. I chose to <br />live in this area for the serenity and beauty of the area. At that time, I was aware of the trade off <br />living near the existing quarry, which creates noise, dust, and dangerous traffic on 115. When I <br />hike into the local BML using the road shared with the existing quant', I am deeply disturbed by <br />the overwhelming glut of trash and debris that pollutes the canyon entry way and Turkey Creek. <br />It is upsetting to think about yet another quarry that will add ongoing destruction to the delicate <br />ecosystem of the area, especially to our water and wildlife habitats. The new quarry is a money <br />making endeavor at the expense of our environment and local community. Colorado is a sate <br />famous for it's pristine outdoor beauty. If we continue to sacrifice our uniqueness for the <br />almighty dollar, our state will become another eastern Kentucky/West Virginia, states raped by <br />the mining industries who had no stake in our environment. <br />Please vote NO to the Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry. <br />Sincerely, <br />Anita J.`ickels <br />
