L.~PJD R~CL-.r;ir'-,-~ <br />Dear Sir: <br />I understand that you are considering applications for mining <br />permits submitted by the Castle Concrete Company to extend their <br />quarrying operations along the Front Range. <br />As a concerned resident of Colorado Springs, I would like to ask <br />you to closely examine Castle Concrete's ability to grade the quarry <br />land to create a final topography appropriate to final land use and <br />to revegetate with a long-lasting cover. Before Castle Concrete is <br />allowed to expand their current quarrying operations, I would hope <br />that they be required to revegetate the land that has already been <br />mined. To date, I have seen no attempt on the part of Castle Con- <br />crete to restore this land. The ecological impact this Company <br />is causing to our environment is frightening. <br />I would also like to ask that the hearings on these applications by <br />Castle Concrete be held in Colorado Springs. The residents of this <br />city will be affected the most by your decision. I cannot begin to <br />imagine what our front range will look like in the year 2032 if these <br />last years of mining by Castle Concrete are an indication <br />Sinc ely, <br />CAROL J./ IEDEN <br />x.211 <br />
