It appears that the county commisioners were not aware of this <br /> project <br /> -This request to create a massive quarry in southern Gilpin County must be studied closely and I am <br /> concerned that the impacts to wildlife,water and air quality,and traffic congestion have not been adequately <br /> considered: <br /> •1 am concerned that the quarry blasting and drilling will severely degrade the environment and alter the <br /> landscape which in turn will disrupt wildlife. <br /> •1 am concerned that the quarry operations will use vast amounts of water-which is becoming ever more <br /> precious-for dust suppression.The threat of severe drought conditions is ever present in this county as it is in <br /> the rest of the state and the country for that matter. Is this how the state wants to use such a precious asset? <br /> -The close proximity to the existing Frei Quarry increases only increases concerns about wildlife corridors <br /> -Additionally there will be increased volume of truck traffic on the already overloaded state and federal <br /> highways.The trucks would most likely take the Central City Parkway to 1-70 and then exit onto Hwy 6 where <br /> they will pass the Frei Quarry and add to the heavy truck traffic heading down and back. Hwy 6 is the main <br /> artery east for Gilpin residents and for visitors coming to our two gaming cities as well as students going to Red <br /> Rocks Community College.Jeffco's Clear Creek Canyon Park is now a major recreation destination and Clear <br /> Creek County is increasing work on their portion of the 65-mile Peaks to Plains Trail. If the new trucks take the <br /> steep grade up to 1-70,we will see more heavy trucks on an already crowded Interstate with steep grades down <br /> into Golden. <br /> In my option this is just a bad project <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M122112211 or C123456789. <br /> M2021009 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Permit Type <br /> County <br /> Gilpin <br /> Site Name <br /> Young Ranch Resource Quarry <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Young Ranch Resource, LLC <br />
