RECEIVED <br /> July 61h, 2018 <br /> JUL 0 6 2018 <br /> DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, <br /> Department of Reclamation, Mining and Safety MINING AND SAFETY <br /> 1313 Sherman Street <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> Attn.: Michael Cunningham <br /> Re.: Permit#M2018016, Douglas Mountain Mine Project <br /> I am writing you to express my concerns of the gravel mine being proposed next to the town of Empire, <br /> CO. My property is adjacent to the site on the east side of the plateau that is to be excavated 200' <br /> down to the elevation of West Fork of Clear Creek. <br /> I am opposed to this land being used as a quarry/gravel pit due to possible negative impact on ground <br /> and surface water flowing in and on my property and into West Fork of Clear Creek. I'm also concerned <br /> of the immediate and future impact on local wildlife, existing vegetation, and air quality due to dust <br /> generated from trucks and mining operation. <br /> Don Baggus with the Division on Water Resources visited my property last month on June 7th and told <br /> me he forwarded his field observations to your office. I hope you have received those comments and <br /> can connect them to this letter and my attached observations. <br /> Please see attachment that shows my property location and why I have concerns. I visually show why <br /> I'm worried that the mining operation will affect my property directly and negatively impact the entire <br /> county of Clear Creek. <br /> Thank you for your time and taking my concerns into consideration when making your deciding on this <br /> project. <br /> Please reach out to me if you or anyone else needs more information from me or wants visit my <br /> property to make their own observations. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Ron�tchison <br /> 167 Junction Loop Road .40 2 <br /> Empire, CO 80438 , <br /> 303.335.7980 cell r D <br /> 303.795.1522 office p-pE041 <br /> sacredsoil@msn.com HAN <br /> WMI IG'A?`1D SY�,TY <br />
