� REC <br /> DEC 7 4 ZO17 E���D <br /> November 9, 2017 DivisioNor <br /> ftAND S& ni <br /> Ms.Amy Eschberger visio"r c <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety OAF$Jr <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> Ms. Eschberger, <br /> I do not represent nor am I a spokes-person for any organization or committee. <br /> I am a property owner and resident in the Southwest Highway 115 area, and <br /> this is a personal plea to stop the Transit Mix Concrete Company (TM) from <br /> mining on the proposed Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry. <br /> Are we looking at another Flint, Michigan, out here south of Colorado Springs <br /> with the proposed Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry? Maybe yes; maybe no? <br /> Can we afford to take ANY risk with an aquifer already over-taxed by three <br /> other quarry-mining operations? No! <br /> Are our lands, air, and life-sustaining water (aquifer or otherwise) for human <br /> and animal use or a commodity for the highest bidder to mine, pollute, exploit, <br /> or use as he, she, or they see fit? Dear God, no! <br /> I am pleading for our aquifer, water, air, land, wildlife, lungs, peace of mind, <br /> vegetation, quality of life: please Mine Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) do not <br /> approve the application for Hitch Rack Ranch M2017-049 for Transit Mix <br /> Concrete Company. <br /> Do the Right Thing for God's Creation. Do the Right Thing for our children, for <br /> their children, for the future, for us All. Do the RIGHT THING: Deny this permit. <br /> Sincerely With Hope, <br /> Deidra Steen <br /> 15577 Cala Rojo Drive <br /> Colorado Springs, Colorado 80926 <br /> Home: 719-576-2273 <br />
