I have lived on the hogback in Golden along HWY 93 for almost 19 years in a section of the HWY <br /> between Iowa Drive and HWY 58.We have experienced an extreme loss of quality of life due to the heavy truck <br /> traffic in this area. Most of the truck traffic has escalated over the years from the mining industry. I am <br /> concerned that the State, County and City government agencies involved in this approval process have not <br /> addressed the citizen concerns regarding the noise and pollution that have increased over the years.We <br /> experience a lot of Jake Brake noise constantly day and night.We don't know who owns the trucks making all <br /> of the noise and the authorities have done little to prevent this problem.Summer is the peak season and winter <br /> is not as bad. I offered my property to be used to study the noise problem,but nobody seemed to care,and the <br /> issue died. I suggested that the City or the State erect a flashing"No Jake Brake"sign just past Iowa Drive to <br /> the south since this is a steep downhill area where the trucks use the engine brakes(some even use the brake <br /> going uphill).The authorities could tackle this problem at the root,and we could all live together without a <br /> problem.There is nothing in their application that prohibits midnight trucking runs...something that has occurred <br /> for a number of years and caused us many sleepless nights.Our local authorities have no control over this,and <br /> the issue went into a black hole of finger pointing as to who is responsible for the problem.This section of HWY <br /> 93 is also in very bad disrepair,full of potholes or poor attempts to repair them.The highway has not been <br /> maintained appropriately because the governmental agencies responsible for the maintenance have neglected <br /> to take into effect the added stress this mining truck traffic adds to the infrastructure. Every truck with a trailer <br /> can be heard from our location as it hits the bumps in the road.We have excessive noise coming from the road <br /> at all times of the day and night and converting this mining claim to a larger geographical area may result in <br /> more traffic, noise and pollution destroying the quality of life that we sought when we purchased this property in <br /> 2003.Golden is growing in population and density and the negative effects of this industrial activity will cost the <br /> citizens in quality of life compared to the economic benefits that are realized by a company that isn't even <br /> anchored in Colorado. Based on the historical nature of these problems, I don't believe that the Acme Brick <br /> Company nor the State,County and City authorities can be trusted to protect our rights to live in peace and <br /> quiet. <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 />
