• <br /> 1. AFS did not let the neighbors know that truck traffic would increase from <br /> approximately 20 loads daily (CDOT Permits Unit 12-16-2015) to approximately 20 <br /> loads hourly causing extreme damage to E 72nd Ave and Jeopardizing the safety of <br /> those using the road and causing vehicle damage. It also creates safety issues <br /> turning onto or off State Highway 79. Following rain or snow the ruts left on 72nd <br /> Avenue (a dirt road) are deep enough that an average vehicle has trouble <br /> traversing the road. When the poor road conditions are combined with the large <br /> trucks on 72nd it can quickly reach an almost impassible situation. <br /> 2. Since AFS has operated the sand and gravel pit, the noise levels have increased <br /> dramatically. <br /> 3. Truck traffic has increased dramatically. Per the CDOT Permits Unit 12-16-2015, <br /> the proposed traffic of 20 ADT has not been adhered to. AFS should seek a new <br /> State Highway Access permit at E 72nd Ave and State Highway 79. <br /> 4. Trucks are parking on E 72nd Ave instead of parking on the sand pit road causing <br /> traffic safety concerns. <br /> 5. Trucks travel faster than the posted 25 mph speed zone and then use their jake <br /> brake to slow down causing noise pollution in the neighborhood. This noise not <br /> only impacts wildlife but also domestic animals. <br /> 6. Approximately half of the trucks don't cover the loads as required by the original <br /> permit. <br /> 7. Unknown liquids and solid materials have been dumped the pit area. <br /> 8. Large riffle gunfire heard around dusk from the sand and gravel pit area-and 49950 <br /> E 72nd Ave (used against the local deer herd). <br /> 9_ Barbed wire fencing used instead of the required mesh fencing to protect wildlife, <br /> farm animals and people from death or injury at the sand and gravel pit. <br /> 10. Plan for noxious weed mitigation. <br /> 11. Plan for wildfire mitigation. <br /> 12. Will explosives be used in the mining operation? <br /> 13. Any chemicals used in the mining or processing of materials? <br /> 14. Depth of the gravel and sand deposits and how deep will the pit dig to excavate <br /> the materials. <br /> 15. Will water be used in the process of excavating or processing the materials? <br /> 16. Is there an Environmental Protection Plan to address noise? <br />
