Resu.!rces ~ 6853 Duke Driye <br />Colorado Springs, CO 80918 <br />1'7 December 19'7 <br />Colcredo Mine Land Reclamation Board <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, CO 80203 ' <br />Gentlemen: <br />I wish to lodge the strongest possible protest against <br />granting the request of the Castle Concrete company to continue <br />and expand their mining oY the Front Range. The destruction of <br />the front range in order to satiate the hunger of the owners of <br />this compar~y works a travesty upon the residents of the +iree who <br />must face the ugly,contantly expanding, brown scar on th~~ mountain. <br />I have seen the moonscape left by the mining interests 1+i once <br />beautiful Appalachia. I have seen the cavernous pit whi~;h assails <br />the senses when visiting Butte,ldontana and I have seen tl~e ugly <br />files of tailings adjacent to the copper mines of Arizon+i. The <br />scar on the mountain rivals all of them for ugliness, pr~~bably <br />themoreso because its ugliness ie flanYed on all sides b•t the <br />beauty of the natural, undisturbed environment. <br />ncerel , <br />J tolz <br />
