This form is not intended for reporting of possible violations or illegal activity. Please be as specific <br />as possible. <br />Comment/Objection Narrative * <br />Sensational - Rather than sensational homeowners playing on environmental heart strings, check the facts and <br />trust experts. Care of health, safety, and welfare is a job for experts, not amateurs. Any business doesn't last <br />when they harm others. Starting with the Penn Group, my hope is that this mill keeps going and reclaims other <br />mine waste piles that can overflow into our drinking water, or are just plain hideous. CJK will leave more trails <br />and gladded skiing for us. Recent letters spoke of kids and dogs being run over by huge water trucks on <br />Harrison - what a bunch of 'smoke.' Parkville has plenty of service in Stringtown. The alarmists use the 'Merlot <br />pond' by the MBT cribbing as more smoke. I have 'hugged some trees' and firmly believe NaCN is not 'dooms <br />day' contamination. <br />Carbonous Nitrogen NaCN (Cyanide) chemistry is way 'over my head.' It will be contained. Steel tanks and <br />pond liners with backup, really work. Monitoring wells are reliable. This site has ample space to safeguard <br />against overflow. Poor management and engineering is the reason for environmental disasters. This Mill will be <br />highly regulated by Colorado State scientists and Federal Guidelines. It will be operated by certified local <br />experts. Like all referral agencies in the Conditional Use process, the State is our reference agency. NaCN <br />goes away (hydrolyzed) in seconds, in sunlight. The chemical mineral extraction process is common at Climax <br />& Asarco Mines - the top of the Arkansas River, Eagle River, Ten Mile Creek and Iowa Gulch (Asarco). A <br />massive sand tailings pile is here beside East 5th Street, Hamm's Mill - certified safe. EPA simple revegetation <br />spec. is erosion grading, organics and seed - it is benign. It is the same by-product as the CJK facility. <br />Mines and CIVIC have allowed my family to live here. Their taxes have given this county life as long as I can <br />remember. I paid for college with great summer jobs & scholarships. Do not allow NIMBY residents to restrict <br />metal extraction. This spot is the right place for it to be done successfully. CJK will be another fine model of the <br />industry. <br />Domestic Water Planning - As town grows, like this place just did, we expand essential municipal services <br />(water and sewer) with contiguous/adjacent growth - the developer pays. We must plan ahead rather than 'kick <br />the can down the road.' The County government allows residential in Ag. Forest zones beside IM - not a <br />conditional use that should require domestic water vs. wells. Strike a deal now to expand Parkville water west. <br />Define and require easements for service lines. Begin saving money for that real growth. Promote home density <br />
