Hwy 93 in <br /> North Golden(North of Hwy 58 and US 6)is already very congested and is known for car accidents. <br /> The mine is in an area that is popular for road biking and adjacent to two recreational areas(White Ranch Park <br /> and N Table Mountain Park)which will also be negatively impacted by the expansion.Thus,the expansion is <br /> incompatible with recreational uses. <br /> With almost constant high westwardly winds along the hogback and into the surrounding residential areas,the <br /> increased dust from the mine will certainly harm our air quality.The mine will add noise which is already loud <br /> from the existing small 9 acre plot(when in use)and from an additional mine slightly north on Hwy 93. <br /> Moreover,such a large expansion is incompatible with both the residential character of North Golden and will <br /> harm the city by adding a large'minescape'in a highly trafficked and visible area. <br /> We essentially live next to this mine. Expanding the mine will detrimentally influence our and our neighbors <br /> quality of life,the local wildlife, public health and safety,and our property values. It will diminish the number of <br /> southbound travelers who choose to visit Golden and will have a negative economic impact. Finally the mine <br /> may damage structures and fossils and create an eyesore in an area that has yet to be properly reclaimed from <br /> prior mining activity. <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 />
