December 8, 2017 PIONMs. Amy <br /> hMiningberger MSA REc� <br /> s on of Reclamation, and Safety NOs444%, <br /> Colorado Div N <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Dear Ms. Eschberger, <br /> I am writing to strongl ob to the Transit Mix proposed quarry, application number <br /> M2017-049, on Highway 115 at Hitch Rack Ranch, south of Colorado Springs. I am a <br /> homeowner who lives in the area affected by this proposed quarry. <br /> The Transit Mix application jeopardizes the water resources of local residents, critical <br /> wildlife habitat, and violates easement rights of property owners along Little Turkey <br /> Creek Road. It proposes to merge into Highway 115 at a location known to those of us <br /> who live in the area as one the most dangerous sections of highway in the state. <br /> My understanding is that Transit Mix is encouraging employees to write you letters of <br /> support. My suspicion is that none of them live in the affected area, which will see <br /> increased traffic density, increased personal auto damage from gravel, reduced property <br /> values and noise. All the while, three other existing quarries are still in use along the <br /> same highway, within a few miles of this proposed location. <br /> I most strongly request the Mine Land Reclamation Board (MLRB)to deny Transit <br /> Mix's application. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> William Lana <br />
