Please provide as much detail as possible. It is important to narrow down the issue(s). <br />This is a formal complaint of what we have witnessed in violation of the mining Permit M1986102 for <br />Reclamation Ridge Pit. <br />Attached are several pictures for Reclamation Ridge Gravel Pit. <br />On several occasions, the dust directly from the gravel pit have made it impossible for my family and I to go <br />outside our house or even open the windows. Some days the combination of the noise and the dust seems <br />unbearable. The pictures below do not reflect times when the wind is significantly blowing making conditions <br />even worse. <br />The gravel pit has a total disregard for their mining permit on July 10, 2018 Mr. Evans in a meeting with the <br />Town of Granby Board of Trustees stated that he has water rights (shared water) that he has to use or lose. I <br />can't find that Mr. Evans nor Reclamation Ridge has any water rights. Where is the water coming from that Mr. <br />Evans stated he is watering his crushers and material with? Mr. Evans also stated at the meeting that during <br />mining the material is wet. I'm not sure how this is possible without hitting ground water. There are 3 <br />monitoring wells that are to be monitored on a regular basis to make sure the surrounding domestic water <br />wells are not affected. However, the reports never have a company name and I'm not sure they are really <br />being monitored. My fear is to wake up one morning and have no water. <br />Furthermore, at the end of County Road 613 on Lot 4 of the Great Divide Head Lettuce Subdivision, <br />appro>amately three Earth movers have been placed since May of 2018. This provides additional complaints <br />this lot is out of the permitted area of the mine. They have constructed a huge berm on Lot 4 and are storing <br />material and equipment on this lot. The berm was constructed with material from the Reclamation Ridge <br />material. <br />Attached are two videos from this evening June 12, 2018 at 6.00 pm. Sorry these video's are mp4 is there an <br />email they can be sent to? These videos provide additional evidence of the dust and noise the gravel pit <br />emits which was mentioned in above paragraphs. Which provides additional evidence of the combination of <br />the dust and noise the gravel pit emits. <br />Also Mr. Evans stated on July 10, 2018 at the Town of Granby Board of Trustees that even when he reclaims <br />the pit if material is left over he will sell the material as a landscaping business. I was unaware that this can be <br />done once the pit has been reclaimed? <br />Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. <br />Kind Regards, <br />Bill Hansen <br />Have you contacted the operator or party conducting the operation?
