<br />Tined Land Reclamation Board <br />Pis. Anne Baldrige <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Room 423 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear M.s. Baldrige, <br /> <br />January 17, 1985 <br />fie, the undersigned, Nish to express our concern <br />to the Colorado :Lined Land Reclamation Board about t e <br />quarry operations near our homes in the Buckhorn Valley. <br />Our main concern is that the natural beauty of e <br />area is endangered. Quarries from 60 to 100 years a o <br />left piles of rubble that have only recently acquired <br />a patina or coloration that has allowed them to bleu , <br />to a degree, into the surrounding landscape. Fe++ of <br />those rubble piles or quarry pits have much if any <br />vegetation gror.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 recla- <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.
