Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I live in Pelican Lake Ranch aka Bee Bee Draw Farms. FRICO Corp is planning on a mining operation that is <br /> basically outside my back door.They said they do not care about mine,or my neighbors property value, health, <br /> or peaceful surroundings. I moved to this area, because it's a quiet country setting, now FRICO plans to ruin it. <br /> They claim they will have a 24 hour operation for the next 35 years!They are mining sand out of Milton <br /> Reservoir which is visible from my back porch.Scott Edgar&FRICO have already built a very large mountain <br /> of sand before they are fully permitted.According to his words,the work he is planning on will have large trucks <br /> running past my house 24 hours a day.Scott Edgar said the dust&lights that will be created from the plant are <br /> of no concern of theirs. <br /> From what I understand, Milton Reservoir is over 100 years old and down stream from many old mining <br /> operations.What is in the bottom of that lake and in that sand?My guess is it probably has quite a bit of toxic <br /> chemicals from many years ago.This is another concern that FRICO has shown no concern for.They only care <br /> about the money they have plans to make from the sand they mine. <br /> FRICO could put this plant on the east side of Milton Reservoir away from the residential neighborhood, but <br /> Scott told our neighbors he wouldn't do that because it would cost more money and delay his plans.This is a <br /> peaceful residential neighborhood, not an industrial mining sight! FRICO&Scott Edgar have shown ZERO <br /> concern for the residents of Pelican Lake Ranch. I very much hope we can come to an agreeable solution with <br /> FRICO, but the last few meeting we have been told FRICO will do whatever is best for them without concern of <br /> theirs nearby residential neighborhood. <br /> Thank you for your time.
