Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> According to Colorado law,the Board of Commissioners can require that the company seeking permitting for a <br /> sand/gravel operation mail a copy of the notice on the application for permitting to owners of record who might <br /> be affected by the proposed mining operation.Since the Board designates such owners during its review <br /> process, I can only believe the Weld County Board of Commissioners has failed in their duties to consider the <br /> interests of the residents whom they themselves represent.Specifically,there are many landowners--a <br /> complete subdivision(i.e., Dos Rios)--with high-valued homes and property within less than a 1-mile radius of <br /> this proposed project's sorting facility.Yet, notification was limited to postings in the local newspaper and along <br /> fence lines in areas 2-3 miles from where the actual sorting facility will be located.This lack of due diligence on <br /> the review,identification of affected parties,and appropriate notification of those parties calls the entire <br /> permitting action into question. Further, in that the confluence of the South Platte and Big Thompson Rivers <br /> occurs within approximately 1 mile of the mining location itself,the flow of those rivers and maintenance of the <br /> existing conservation easement adjacent to the confluence will be impacted. It is unclear whether review of the <br /> proposal to consider regulatory oversight needed by the Colorado Division of Water Resources,the Colorado <br /> Department of Public Health and Environment'Water Quality Control Division,the US Army Corps of <br /> Engineers,and other entities(e.g.,agricultural interests with contracts for water delivery through relate ditch <br /> systems and the conservation easement holder)has taken place. In summary,this permitting process appears <br /> to be rushed without appropriate oversight and multiple levels and a failure of elected and appointed <br /> representatives to take into account effects on residents and on the river systems associated with this proposal. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M2022013 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> I <br /> Permit Type <br />
