Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I fully support DRMS's approval of this application and want to personally thank both the mine workers and <br /> DRMS staff for their hard work and commitment.As a Colorado-born native and Boulder County resident for <br /> over 40 years, I've fallen in love with this area and have seen firsthand how Grand Island Resources(GIR)has <br /> made a real difference—not just at the mine site,but throughout the surrounding community. <br /> Their year-round maintenance of Caribou Road,from Highway 72 up to the Caribou Townsite,has been <br /> essential in keeping this heavily used area accessible and safe,especially during the winter months when <br /> locals, Denver-area visitors,and tourists venture up to enjoy snow sports and other seasonal activities. <br /> Without GIR's efforts,we'd see more stranded vehicles and far more environmental damage from recreational <br /> users creating illegal trails and roads through both private property and National Forest land.Their collective <br /> stewardship has helped protect this special place for all of us—not only for recreational enjoyment and access <br /> to public lands, but also by responsibly contributing to our country's need for precious metals sourced from <br /> America's mineral lands,while providing good jobs for Coloradans through GIR and DRMS. <br /> Let's not forget:this mine—and many others like it—are a major reason why the Nederland and Boulder County <br /> area has the character and history it does today. <br />
