In addition, Denver Brick may opt to transfer <br /> mining operations via lease to another mining company which could negate any expectations of a quality <br /> relationship based on experience during those 80 yrs. <br /> The relatively small revenue received by the state is not worth the potential damage to the area. Potential <br /> damage could include,but is not limited to,air quality, blasting risks to surrounding structures&fossils,water <br /> &/or well contamination,destruction of wildlife habitat, lowering of property values thus lowering the income of <br /> local governments, road congestion due to trucks,noise from blasting&machinery plus unsightly damage to <br /> the natural appearance of the Dakota Hogback. <br /> Please do not approve Denver Brick's request to expand their mining operation. <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 /> Golden Mine on Dakota Hogback <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Denver Brick/Acme Mine <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />
