STATE OF <br /> COLORADO Scott -DNR, Eric <eric.scott@state.co.us> <br /> Chieftain Mine - Lakewood, Co Complaint <br /> 1 message <br /> Randall Carrera <carrera.rand all@yahoo.com> Mon, Jan 28, 2019 at 2:35 PM <br /> To: "eric.scott@state.co.us" <eric.scott@state.co.us> <br /> I spoke with you earlier today on the activity at the Chieftain Mine owned by General Shale Brick and located at 15900 W. <br /> Alameda Pkwy in Lakewood,CO. The basis of my complaint is that starting in late summer of 2018, non-mining <br /> operations started on the south end of the Chieftain Mine which is adjacent to the Solterra Residential Community and <br /> impacting approximately 40 residential homes ranging in value from $750K to over a million dollars..Worked that was <br /> being preformed on the Chieftain Mine property included a)surveying, b)excavating, c)grading and d)extensive earth <br /> movement resulting in the formation of a huge mountain of dirt. The mountain of dirt that was created is approximately <br /> over 15ft higher than an other portion of land on the Chieftain Mine property. While the mountain of dirt was being created <br /> with the extensive excavating and grading there was minimal dust protection. When winds kick up, dust from the property <br /> pelts the adjacent residential homes. At this point in time, there is no activity taking place on the property and no dust or <br /> erosion control installed or taking place. My complaint centers on the mountain of dirt that was created and the bare <br /> unprotected land that now exists. Before this activity started, there was no bare dirt mountain and the this portion of the <br /> property was covered with vegetation that prevented any dust storms and erosion of the land. The activity that has taken <br /> place on the property is definitely not mining operations!!! Please look into this matter. This land should be returned to its <br /> general state with the mountain of dirt cut back to an elevation similar to the rest of the property and treated for erosion <br /> and dust control. I have attached a handout that I put together on the Cheiftain Mine property. <br /> Clay Mine Info.xls <br /> Lai 25K <br />
