The concept of"capturing"water by quarry operations and"returning"it to the <br /> creek is very problematic. Considering the fracture connection of surface water in <br /> Little Turkey Creek with the subsurface waters,interception of one could <br /> dramatically alter the other. <br /> Implementing sediment control without being able to accurately predict what <br /> vegetation removal by mining operations will do to sediment runoff volume could <br /> cause serious disruption of subsurface water well recharge. Interception of <br /> subsurface water flow could negatively alter amount of water available to the creek <br /> and available to wildlife. <br /> Wildlife <br /> I object to the approval of this permit because inserting the quarry in an area which <br /> currently provides a large contiguous migration path and riparian habitat would be <br /> extremely detrimental to the well-being of many species unique to this area. <br /> Summary <br /> The permit application wants to place the quarry in an area which already has <br /> limited precipitation and limited water resources. We are also in a time when <br /> dramatic climate change presents very serious risk to the area's animal and human <br /> residents. <br /> It is extremely difficult to believe that the "de m inimis"impact postulated by Transit <br /> Mix will be valid throughout the projected 44 years of mining. <br /> If Transit Mix is wrong,the loss of water supply will be as seen at NORAD-- <br /> PE ENT. <br /> Signed J ry Moore <br /> Jerry P Moore <br /> 15836 Spanish Peak Vw <br /> Colorado Springs,CO 80926-9804 <br /> Phone: 832-875-7030 <br /> Email: jerrypaulmoore@icloud.com <br />
