I urge those who are involved in the decision-making to consider less-impactful ways to <br /> raise revenue for the state and county and to carefully consider the long-term negative impacts of this proposal <br /> that will reach far beyond the residents and businesses in the immediate area. Negative effects that will <br /> inevitably come with the significant expansion that is proposed include the following:further mining scars on the <br /> hogback and an ugly blot on the landscape for many decades;the incompatibility of this proposal with the <br /> residential character and recreational uses of the area;the potential for decreased air quality and threat to <br /> water resources and property values;the increased machinery, noise,traffic congestion,and threat to public <br /> safety on SH 93 and 56th;the possible intention to transfer the lease/permit with unknown further negative <br /> consequences for the community in the future. None of this offers a welcome entry to Golden for visitors; none <br /> of it is kind to wildlife and their habitat or to our citizenry. <br /> Given these negative impacts,the DRMS and Jefferson County should not be solely thinking about the <br /> prospect of Acme being able to expand their holdings, reclaim old mine workings,and increase the value of the <br /> property but, more importantly,about preserving the value and integrity of the larger surrounding area,and <br /> thereby respecting and preserving the quality of life for the many citizens who call this area home. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M1976007 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> Permit Type <br /> County* <br /> Jefferson <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br />
