Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> I won't repeat the many excellent objections that you have received. I do want to address one of the <br /> considerations that your panel needs to address which is the general effect on the community. If you review the <br /> state economic development statistics,you will note that mining is included along with two other categories in <br /> order for that category to even reach 20%of Colorado's economy.The state puts no money into encouraging <br /> mining and all of the promotional material that the state releases to both individuals and companies is around a <br /> strong NON-MINING economy,quality of life,quality of education and the most important,recreation,which is <br /> now the primary economic driver in Colorado.Those factors are identical to the ones espoused by Lake County. <br /> Recreation, restaurants,shopping and special events are what Lake County advertises and encourages as <br /> reasons to come to Lake County.The proposal from CJK is antithetical to what the County and State now <br /> represents as its strengths.What CJK is proposing poses the real possibility that with or without a chemical <br /> accident,the quality of life will be affected.They have not adequately addressed so many concerns,noise <br /> being one of them.They continue to assert that they have solutions to address all of these, including noise from <br /> traffic but offer NO specifics about how all of this is to be accomplished and none of the"possible"solutions <br /> proposed would be put in place prior to the operation commencing.A landowner has to show 20 times the <br /> documentation to get a building permit. No County relies on a statement that"I want to build a house and <br /> promise to abide by all of the regulations."There are a series of inspections as the building progresses to <br /> assure that the building is in compliance with Code.The State should have a no less stringent process when <br /> considering the level of project that CJK is proposing. If CJK is allowed to proceed with virtually no check at any <br /> stage,there can be no confidence that the project will be safe and meet all of the appropriate concerns that <br /> have been raised. <br /> Without clear answers IN WRITING from all of the parties CJK claims have approved various aspects of the <br /> project it would be totally irresponsible to grant this permit.Opponents have repeatedly asked CJK to produce <br /> documents and they have NEVER responded.That level of cooperation is what can be expected if CJK <br /> receives approval for this project, <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M1990057 <br />
