December 19, 2017 Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety DEC 22 2017 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 DIVISION OF RECLAMATION RE: Permit No. M2017049 MINING AND SAFETY Ms. Amy Eschberger; I am writing to object to the latest Transit Mix Application to the CDRMS, application number M2017-049, as feir application continues to fail to protect our critical water resources, significant wildlife habitat and the easement rights of several property owners along Little Turkey Creek Road. As such, I am an aggrieved party and an interested person per CRS 24-4-102. (3.5) (6.2)(11)seeking relief per CRS 24-4-102. (14). 1 find Transit Mix's continued assertions that they will not impact the hydrologic balance of water in and under Little Turkey Creek Canyon cavalier in their disregard for the real potential to damage this canyon, our community and the surrounding established residences'water supply. If Transit Mix is wrong about the water,we lose everything. Similarly, the wildlife habitat, without water is a two-legged stool. A present, wildlife drawn to this canyon has superb habitat. It is unacceptable both in the short-term and the long term, to cutoff their water, or impede their access to this creek and wetland. Wildlife will be simply be driven away or die if they can't relocate. Finally, by Transit Mix simply saying that they don't need access to the LTC Road does not make the requirement go away to pursue a Declaratory Judgment on Little Turkey Creek Easement. They are using slight of hand, not accomplishing the courtroom resolution your Board required be resolved first. 1 appreciate their right to reapply; nevertheless Transit Mix has not changed their fundamentally flawed premise that we need or want a quarry to be put into the midst of our existing communities. Sincerely, Signed, U4,& K�� Denise M. Brice 11735 Calle Corvo Colorado Springs, CO 80926 (719) 527-0433
