Mining forever ruins <br /> the area where we live. I protest mining expansion for these many reasons: <br /> -Reduced property values.Who will ever want to live near a mining operation? <br /> -Permanent blight on the front range and destroying the scenery <br /> -Eyesore: It's already horrible and will never recover-even in it's limited land use(which is too much) <br /> -Affects tourism: Golden and other areas nearby rely on tourism;this affects whether people want to spend <br /> time here. <br /> -We already know natural resources like fossils exist in this area;Those will be destroyed. <br /> -This activity is directly opposite of the character and beauty of this area which is why many people live here. <br /> This proposal, if it goes through,would forever damage the ability of those who live here to enjoy their property <br /> and the area as a whole. <br /> -It destroys area recreation with noise,dust, machinery,contamination and disfigurement of the land. <br /> -Public health and safety is at risk for the reasons mentioned. <br /> -It pollutes water,air,soil and contributes to noise pollution.What are the effects on water supplies?All you <br /> have to do is look at abandoned mines in the mountains from 150 years ago to know that mining pretty much <br /> strips the earth of everything and the residuals remains forever,contaminating everything-water,air,soil. <br /> -Reduces and destroys habitats for wildlife <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 />
