Ec o - <br /> 0.--?-,o 4, 14/ APR -1 u� 1021 <br /> DIVISION OF RECLAMA7IO,N <br /> MINING AND SAFETY <br /> April 9, 2021 <br /> Dear Committee, <br /> I am a resident of Silverthorne and am writing to oppose the expansion of the Peak Ranch <br /> Resource gravel operations. I am concerned that the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and <br /> Safety has not thoroughly reviewed the Summit County Lower Blue Master Plan, which the <br /> gravel operation would clearly violate - namely, to "preserve and enhance the basin's <br /> tremendous natural resources, including its spectacular vistas, diverse wildlife and ecosystems, <br /> and pristine air and water quality." <br /> The proposed gravel operation would fly smack in the face of this Master Plan. Imagine the <br /> noise of grinding gravel, the incredible increase in truck traffic, the Blue River disruption and <br /> how that would harm fish and wildlife, and the impact on open spaces and recreation, for which <br /> Summit County is known nationwide. <br /> 1 beseech you to consider the community that would suffer from the approval of this gravel <br /> operation. It's the responsibility of state employees to pay attention to the interests and <br /> wellbeing of Colorado citizens. Please do the right thing and do not approve this expansion. <br /> Th�gk you, c - <br /> Cindy St ua� <br /> PO Box 2821 <br /> Silverthorne, CO 80498 <br />
