Our current infrastructure does not allow for <br /> additional Quarry trucks traveling on CC Parkway to 1-70 where they will encounter the Frei Quarry Trucks <br /> merging all of this traffic to Highway 6.Quarry operations use vast amounts of our valuable water resources and <br /> it must be studied how this water use could affect wells, aquifers and/or pollution to creeks and water sources. <br /> A Quarry does not seem to me the best way to utilize our limited water sources especially when we already <br /> have a very large quarry(Frei)in the vicinity.This Quarry would add noise pollution to the area,affect wildlife <br /> corridors and reduce further outdoor opportunities for our residents.Additionally,outdoor activity and the influx <br /> of tourists into our state has shown a tremendous increase since the Pandemic and they do not come to <br /> Colorado to view Quarry sites. In my opinion an additional Quarry in a County that already suffers from a long <br /> history of mining and pollution does not deserve this type of development. Russell Gulch is an example of the <br /> mining industry polluting the water ways and residents must now truck in their water because of the high <br /> mineral content making it non-potable. <br /> I do not think we need two quarries in this area plus I am concerned that if not studied properly and in great <br /> detail the approval may put County and State residents in a position of providing tax monies to support <br /> infrastructure, pollution control and even clean up if the Quarry is unsuccessful. <br /> Thank you for your consideration-Sally Shriner&Rick Lewis(same address as above). <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 /> Quarry <br /> County <br /> Gilpin <br /> Site Name <br /> Young Ranch Resource Quarry <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Comment or Objection <br /> Objection <br /> Support <br /> General Comment <br /> Agency Comment <br />
