The destruction of <br />the front range is order to satiate the hunger of the owners of <br />this company works a travesty upon the residents of the area who <br />must face the ugly,contantly expanding, brown scar on the mountain. <br />I have seen the moonscape left by the mining interests is once <br />beautiful Appalachia. I have seen the cavernous pit which assails <br />the senses when visiting Butte ,Montana and I have seen the ugly <br />Miles of tailings adjacent to the copper mines of Arizona. The <br />scar on the mountain rivals all of them for ugliness, probably <br />themoreso because its ugliness is flanged on all sides by the <br />beauty of the natural, undisturbed environment. <br />S ncerel , <br />l <br />o J tolz ~ <br />,~~,~ 1 <br />
