RECEIVED <br /> OCT 152020 <br /> 9/29/20 )"VISION(7 RECLAMATION <br /> Dear Colorado Division Of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, MININGAND SAFETY <br /> My wife and I own the property 185 Longs Rd. Pretty much we're directly across the road from the <br /> proposed Kilgore Companies LLC, Peak Materials, mine. We live right on Hwy 9. We split our time <br /> between our house there and a working cattle ranch that we own in Phippsburg,CO. About an hour to <br /> the west of our 185 Longs Rd property. <br /> I am of course deeply upset about the prospect of having a gravel mine across the street from my house. <br /> The noise and eye sore and the huge increase in truck traffic right in front of our house would be <br /> horrific. The constant drone of trucks going up and down the driveway right in front our house would be <br /> awful and its clearly not what we expected when we purchased the property in 1997 and built our <br /> dream house there. <br /> Part of me is curious as to why Kilgore wants to move their gravel pit and asphalt operation from <br /> Silverthorne to across the street from our house. I assume its because they feel they can sell the lots in <br /> the housing development they've developed behind their gravel pit in Silverthorne for more money if <br /> there isn't a working mine in their front yards. But the truth is that I don't really care why they want to <br /> build a mine just across the street from our house in Silverthorne. When we bought 185 Longs Rd there <br /> was a horse farm on the property that Kilgore is proposing to build their new gravel pit. The mine is <br /> going to be between us and the blue river and we'd look out towards the Gore Range at the horse farm <br /> and the river behind it. <br /> The bottom line is that if you give them the OK to go forward with their new mine that the value of our <br /> property is going to go into the toilet. We spent over 3 million building our home and our several out <br /> buildings and we planted over 150 trees. If you approve Kilgore's mine you might as well light a match <br /> to our home. You will be destroying our lives. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ira and Cindy Wertenteil <br /> 185 Longs Road <br /> Silverthorne,CO 80498 <br /> 970 389-1530 <br /> Mailing Address <br /> Ira Wertenteil <br /> PO Box 247 <br /> Oak Creek,CO 80469 <br /> 970 389-1530 <br />
