December 1, 2017 <br />Ms. Amy Eschberger RECEIVED <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety DEC 0 7 2017 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 DII)ASM OF RECLAMATION <br />W20G AND SAFETY <br />Ms. Eschberger, <br />As a citizen of EI Paso County, Colorado, Iob�t�r Transit Mix Concrete Company's <br />(TM's) application M201749 to establish a quarry on Hitch Rack Ranch. <br />The application fails to protect water resources, wildlife habitat and the easement rights <br />of several property owners along Little Turkey Creek Road. l urge the Mine Land Rec- <br />lamation Board (MLRB) to deny TM's application. <br />Additionally, the establishment of the quarry would impact the traffic along Highway 115 <br />which we travel often for recreational purposes to other parts of the state. The road is <br />already hazardous, the additonal trucks per day will impact the traffic as well as the <br />property owners along this route. Colorado Springs has already been impacted by <br />Transit Mix in other areas, they have not lived up to their promises on those quarries <br />and I do not believe they will this time either. I do not believe they should be allowed to <br />further impact this city and its' citizens negatively and further ruining our resources and <br />beauty. <br />I request that both the Pre -hearing Conference and MLRB Hearing be conducted in <br />Colorado Springs. <br />iy, <br />verly L Creswell <br />6453 Hawkeye Circle Colorado Springs, CO 80919 <br />719-440-1082 <br />bevcres(cD-vahoo.com <br />
