Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> My first objection is that this mining operation will be so close to the Piedra River.This is a beautiful hiking area <br /> and it will be destroyed by the dust, noise and operation of this mine.There are deer and elk that run through <br /> this area. My second objection is the road that the mine wants to use. Piedra road is a narrow two lane road <br /> that has little or no shoulder.There are RV's,cattle trucks(only at roundup time)and school buses along this <br /> road. it's dangerous and again,wildlife are in this area. How is a gravel truck going to stop when an elk runs out <br /> in front of him?Then there is North Pagosa Blvd that goes through a residential area to Hwy 160.Some truck <br /> driver will realize that he can cut through here and use this road.We fought this last fall with another gravel pit <br /> organization. No gravel trucks on our roads in our neighborhoods.And who is going to pay for the destruction <br /> these trucks will create on these roads?Not Hinsdale county, but Archeluta county.Currently we are fighting the <br /> Plumtaw fire in our area.Will these people be able to stop a wildfire?We're so dry right now that any metal <br /> strike could start a fire.This fire would blow right up the road into the Hatcher area from the west to the east. <br /> There are many homes in the area and our drinking water comes from Hatcher Lake.Kind of hard to drink <br /> water with ash in it.Again,this is a beautiful area,there are campers and campsites right near where they want <br /> to dig this mine. I know we need a gravel pit, but not near a river. If I had time I would have sent you photos.Oh <br /> and there are ice caves up there.This could be an environmental disaster. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M2022018 <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 /> Hinsdale <br /> Enter one county only <br />
