I do not trust Acme Brick, <br /> General Shale,and do not think these companies have any interest in protecting anyone else but themselves. <br /> We have a chance to save this area,create awareness of past events that took place here,and protect this <br /> area for future generations. Nestled between White Ranch and North Table Mountain where people feel <br /> protected by the nature, have an opportunity to see animal migration,and where historic fossils reside are <br /> literally within feet of the where the mining activity will take place should the DRMS approve.We need to stop <br /> the mine and do something better with this land where everyone can enjoy it. Do we want to let a small crew of <br /> mine operators devastate it for small profit for Jeffco? <br /> Lastly, Denver Brick and General Shale(Which has not been mentioned anywhere in its plans to the Golden <br /> Residents)is pushing for blasting.The northern portion of the property(Mentioned in the ODP at one time was <br /> leased to the Flintlock Mine)which had no blasting many years go.Yet, Denver Brick has provided a massive <br /> change to include blasting with 2022 with a study not surprisingly.Why is it on the same property years ago <br /> when nobody lived here had no blasting, but now its okay?How is it possible to let blasting occur when there <br /> are 1,000's of families who live here?Thank you for reading and I hope mining on the Hogback will stay a thing <br /> of the past. <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 />
