<br />C~ <br />5tlned Lard Reclamation Board <br />"ts. anne Baldrige <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Room 423 <br />Denver, Colorado ?C2C3 <br />Dear M.s. Baldrige, <br /> <br />January 17, I93b <br />+le, the undersigned, Nish to express our concer <br />to the Colorado *!ined 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 bQ to 1Q0 years a o <br />left piles of rubble that have only recently acquire <br />a patina or coloration that has allo~~ed them to bleu , <br />to a degree, into the surrounding landscape. Fea 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 ground cover ( r <br />example, grass) on the piles of overburden. This sh uld <br />be accomplished before rains wash the soil a~.ay from <br />bet:+een the rock rubble. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />J"3 5' ~ is 1 `. <br />!G (!fin . ,~ my , ~ e'C~ <br />~ ~ '~ <br />C~ ~ - <br />~°`' <br />BUCKHORN VALLEY LAND <br />HOME OFi~iSBS <br />
