~~ ~~ <br />RECE1VEp <br />ar'~ 2 s 2002 <br />799 B. Paseo Dorado Drive <br />Pueblo, Colorado 81007-1155 <br />Apri122, 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Gealagy <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80202 <br />~~ <br />As a retired employee of the state of Colorado and resident of Pueblo County, I would <br />like to express my concern about the Mining and Reclamation Permit Application <br />submitted by the Rio Grande Portland Cement Company. This application does not <br />address the possible contamination of the St. Charles River and the two underground <br />aquifers below the area nor the use of a highly toxic explosive material used in the <br />mining process. <br />I request that a Public Hearing be held on this permit application IN Pueblo, during <br />evening hours when all concerned citizens may attend. <br />This application is very complex -requiring the consultation of experts with a chemical <br />and mining background to analyze the effects on the water downstream from this plant's <br />operation. The people of Pueblo County need to know that the approval of this permit <br />will not become the source of a serious health hazard in their future water supply. <br />Please keep me informed of actions taken or meetings held concerning this application. <br />Respectfully, <br />~i 6 Vii,.. - <br />Daniel D.
