<br />i~ <br /> <br />January 17, 1935 <br />Mined Lard Reclamation Board <br />"Ts. Anne Baldrige <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Room 423 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />wear Ms. Baldrige, <br />Vie, the undersigned, :+ish to express our concer <br />to the Colorado :dined Land Reclamation Board about t e <br />quarry operations near our homes in the Buckhorn Val ey. <br />Our main concern is that the natural beauty of he <br />area is endangered. Quarries from 60 to 100 years a o <br />left piles of rubble that have only recently acquire <br />a patina or coloration that has allowed them to bleu , <br />to a degree, Snto the surrounding landscape. Fe:+ of <br />those rubble piles or quarry pits have much if any <br />vegetation gro+.ing on or in them. <br />The current quarry operators, those of the past <br />three or four years, should be required to reclaim t e <br />results of those current operations and to establish <br />an ongoing reclamation program. <br />Probably the most important aspect of ongdng re la- <br />mation •~+ould be the establishment of a graun3cover ( or <br />example, grass) on the piles of overburden. This sh uld <br />be accomplished before rains wash the soil ao.ay from <br />bet~..een the rock rubble. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />~ ~ (/85i~ ~' ~,~t~~ tQd <br />~ccyd.G/off Co gore) <br />//s%~~~Gca%(' f~~~~~ <br />~VIG7onv~Jlt~Co ~ ~oSYI • <br />~6Gt'J <br />BUCKHORN VALLEY LAND <br />HOME OWNSSS <br />~~ a ~ ~~ <br />/~is~s41?~~~~1~ <br />`~iia.QM-K'-l~-i C <br />F1S2S Pe(.t~, iPo„ .C <br />r,.aao..:,ale, eo ~5~+1 <br />~ss~! <br />8`d ~s ~i <br />
