Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> This urgent formal objection is being submitted regarding Mining permit M2024057. Scott Edgar and FRICO's <br /> have ongoing environmental health and safety violations, lack of transparency,and disregard for the health and <br /> well-being of the Beebe Draw Farms community. He has had ongoing operations that require at the very bare <br /> minimum Air Quality&Stormwater permits from CDPHE. <br /> Given FRICO's current operations and blatant disregard for environmental, health, and safety standards,as <br /> well as county,state, and federal regulations,granting approval for this permit will significantly worsen the <br /> already critical issues that are not being addressed. Immediate intervention is essential to prevent further harm <br /> and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. <br /> Last night,the"Authority"and FRICO reached a shocking agreement: FRICO will clean up Lake Christina—a <br /> travesty they themselves created—if the"Authority"agrees not to object to this mining application.This is akin <br /> to someone violently breaking your leg and,as you call 911,they demand you hang up so they can set your leg <br /> themselves.Such an egregious deal only underscores the urgent need for immediate intervention to prevent <br /> further environmental and community harm. <br /> Regulators must immediately halt FRICO's operations until all legal,environmental, and health concerns are <br /> fully addressed. Before any materials are moved to Milton Reservoir or any other location,comprehensive <br /> testing of the dirt and water is imperative.Additionally,substantial fines should be imposed on FRICO and Scott <br /> Edgar individually for violating environmental laws, misusing public resources, and failing to engage with the <br /> affected community. Swift and decisive action is crucial to protect the health,safety,and well-being of Beebe <br /> Draw Farms residents. <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 /> FRICO <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Scott Edgar <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 />
