I Live in Park County, CO just outside the town of Fairplay. I am <br />writing to you to voice my concerns regarding the proposed mining operation of Jack <br />Allen's property located off State Highway 9. <br />My farm property of 168 acres is located across Highway 9 from this proposed mining <br />operation. My home looks duectly at this site. I am deeply concerned how this operation <br />~t~ll affect the quality of life in this area Specifically, health concerns related to the <br />groundwater quality are foremost. Our wells (and many future water wells) depend upon <br />the underlying aquifer for water. I understand that due to the high groundwater level at <br />this mine site that the purity of our drinking water maybe in jeopardy. <br />In addition, the site also threatens the neazby Middle Fork of the South Platte River. This <br />is a designated "gold medal" trout stream that is vital to the local economy (tourism) and <br />surrounding property values. <br />I am asking you to carefully review this mining application, with the thought of <br />miflgating any damage that may result to the environment, water, fisheries, and the local <br />economy. I am hopeful that a solution can be reached that will benefit all parties. <br />Thank you for your consideration <br />Sincerely, <br />/lam ~, <br />Kent Rolf <br />P.O.
