LRM ciaims the area will be improved by the mining operation.They also ciaim the operation will be wet
<br /> mining and the water table will be breached after two shovel scoops of topsoil. If that's true,what will
<br /> happen to the water level of the Big Thompson as the water table drains to fill the dug areas?Won't the
<br /> Big Thompson water level go down?Won't that greatly affect the flow for more than a decade during
<br /> their proposed mining and affect all users downstream?Sediment from digging and potential petroleum
<br /> leaks from heavy machinery could pollute the river.
<br /> As you know,this is what the mining operation will look like for more than a decade.

<br /> And LRM claims they will reclaim the land as they go. Below is a picture of their"reclaimed land". I've
<br /> lived in this area for 6 years, and this area has never been improved or reclaimed.

<br /> Add to the fact there will be upwards of 40 heavily laden trucks driving over the soil for more than a
<br /> decade,this compacted soil will not grow anything or be reclaimed.
<br /> To conclude, LRM promises have changed considerably over the last few months. It will be decades
<br /> before the area has any pleasing qualities for residents of the Mad Russian subdivision. As many of us
<br /> are retirees, I sadly feel many of us will be dead before anything positive occurs—if indeed the promises
<br /> are kept by LRM.
