Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I am writing to express my family's strong opposition to the proposed mining site on behalf of my grandmother, <br /> who owns property adjacent to the proposed mining site. My family and I also run cattle on this land. <br /> We strongly oppose the proposal of this mining site. First and foremost,we are extremely frustrated that we <br /> were not notified about the possibility of this project.We only learned of the proposal from neighbors at Pelican <br /> Lakes Ranch. It is incredibly disrespectful not to inform other landowners who border the property and shows a <br /> blatant disregard for the rights of neighboring landowners. <br /> Currently,our roads are already overwhelmed by sand and gravel trucks,and they are becoming increasingly <br /> unsafe due to the high volume of traffic.At times, it is challenging to exit our driveway because of this traffic. <br /> The proposed mining site is located at the north end of my family's property would only exacerbate the situation <br /> and subject us to even more dust and additional traffic.We are already disturbed by the noise from existing <br /> equipment,and we do not want further disruptions from traffic,lights, noise,dust,and so on.Additionally,one <br /> more thing such as a mining plant within eyesight of our homes will also continue to drag down the property <br /> values of our land and homes.We also vehemently oppose any operations(including the use of semis to take <br /> out loads)during nighttime hours. <br /> While we understand the need to remove currently mined gravel, it should not come at the expense of those of <br /> us who have lived here for generations and pay taxes to enjoy and utilize our properties.We firmly oppose the <br /> mining facility in its current form. <br /> Permitting Action Comment/Objection is Regarding <br /> New Permit Change to Existing Permit <br /> Permit Number* (?) <br /> Enter a valid permit number <br /> M2024057 <br /> County* <br /> Colorado County where the proposed operation is located <br /> Weld <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> Yes - No <br /> By submitting this form electronically you agree to receive any/all follow up correspondence from the Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining,and Safety at the email address you have provided. <br />
