<br />h1lned Land Reclamation Board <br />P•ts. Anne Baldrige <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Room 423 <br />Denver, Colorado 90203 <br />Dear N!s. Baldrige, <br /> <br />January 17, 1990 <br />i~fe, the undersigned, ~:+i sh to express our conc <br />to the Colorado :dined Land Reclamation Board about <br />quarry operations near our homes in the Buckhorn V <br />Our main concern is that the natural beauty o <br />area is endangered. Quarries from 60 to 100 years <br />left piles of rubble that have only recently acqui <br />a patina or coloration that has allo~+ed them to bl <br />to a degree, into the surrounding landscape. Fea <br />those rubble piles or quarry pits have much if any <br />vegetation gror.ing on or is 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 would be the establishment of a grouulcover ( or <br />example, grass) on the piles of overburden. This sh uld <br />be accomplished before rains wash the soil a4.ay Prom <br />bet:,een the rock rubble. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />BUCKHORN VALLEY L9fiD <br />ROME OYiNSSS <br />~ .\ <br />-\~~ \ <br />l01~o:~V.~., a,31 <br />~,-cv~~o_~~,'~n o053~ <br />~g~$b <br />
