occasions throughout the year this road becomes impassible except with a good, sturdy <br />4-wheel-drive vehicle. Occasionally the culvert crossing at Chandler Creek partially or <br />completely washes out. The bottom line -this road can barely withstand the current <br />traffic load let alone any increase in traffic. A plan needs to be developed and resources <br />allocated to improve and maintain the road to the reasonable standard of a good road <br />that is usable 365 days a yeaz. <br />3. Noise, dust, etc. pollution. A dust and noise abatement plan and resources need to be <br />in place to keep to an absolute minimum these and other pollutants from not just the <br />mine but from the mine haul mad and tracks. It appears the mine haul road will pass <br />within 200-400 yards of residents. <br />4. Potential residential damages. 1'he mine permit azea encompasses areas directly <br />beneath private homes and wells. A plan and resources need to be in place to deal <br />with housing and/or well damage as a result of the close proximity of the mine. The <br />plan needs to include provisions incase the damage occurs even many years after the <br />mine closes. If the mining company does not plan to mine under aresidence/well, <br />then it seems reasonable these azeas should not be in the mine permit area and the <br />permit area boundaries redrawn to reflect this. <br />5. The above mentioned plans, etc. should be included as part of the permit. <br />6. Meetings. Please keep all parties concemed updated on all meetings public as well as <br />those "private and unannounced". A small group of people do not represent the total <br />spectrum of concern. This email header contains the a-mail addresses of people 1 <br />believe have an interest in this matter, but this list is not all-inclusive. There are other <br />people who live in close proximity to the proposed mine (such as H&H Farms) who <br />may also have an interest. It would be appreciated if any minutes, including copies of <br />all documents/maps involved, of "private unannounced" meetings would be emailed <br />(reducing the burden on the mine company) to all of the above in order to inform all <br />those concemed. Even though a meeting is private all information should be made <br />public, to avoid the appearance of impropriety conflicting information, information <br />passing by rumor etc.Please keep me informed as to date time and place of all public <br />meeting on this matter. <br />These reflect my concerns, and should not be construed as all inclusive nor reflect the views of <br />others. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Charles Overton <br />
