Local residents and visitors <br /> from the entire Denver metro area come to enjoy outdoor recreation at North Table Mountain and White Ranch <br /> Park,which flank the proposed site to the east and west.Outdoor recreation,a staple of Colorado's <br /> economy and identity,will suffer greatly if this mine expansion is approved. <br /> Additionally,there are numerous environmental factors which will threaten the health,safety,and happiness of <br /> nearby residents and wildlife:noise from blasting and machinery,air contamination from dust,and water <br /> contamination.The proposed site is only 2 miles north of downtown Golden.A north wind will blow dust directly <br /> into downtown Golden affecting thousands of residents. <br /> The amount of money proposed by the applicants($288k)for reclamation seems woefully inadequate.This <br /> indicates to me that they,an out of state company,do not care at all for repairing the land after they have <br /> destroyed it for their own personal benefit,at the expense of the many. <br /> I am strongly opposed to this mine,and encourage the state to reject the application. <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 County <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br />
