For nearly 20 years, I have beets <br />care-taking the EstoIla Leopold property in Section 23 iinu~ediately adjacent to the <br />proposed gtraziy. My current plans are to purchase this property in 20Q5 and as such, I <br />am very ooucerned about the proposed quarry, <br />Upon ravieW ofthe l IZ application, I.have the fallowing concerns: <br />Mr: Wolf has not adequately planned for proper drainage and erosion control. <br />'T$e thin soils in this Bart of the foothills aro partio'alarly sensitive and do not <br />recover quickly £rom disruption. Spring aiid summer rain volume can be. <br />toaential_and wild i,;evis:+htu .P,y~.-#n-erosd~o~ ~~f{~odt the cjuarry into i <br />Clear Creek. Mr. Wolfs proposed 30,000 gallons of water for dust control will <br />also contribute to erosion and run-off problems for Clear Creek. <br />ZVir. VV'olf also fails to pzoperly plan for site restoratiob- While rainfall can be <br />extreme at bates, the total raitfall for. this area is quite limited. Consequetstly, <br />seeding efforts and general vegetativo restoration wi.U be difficult it'~ot <br />impossible. <br />The proposed quarry is located in prime elk wintering habitat. 'The Golden Gate <br />State Park herd regularly travels through sections 23 and 26 and would ba <br />severely stressed by the activity of the proposed quarry. <br />Zn summary, I am strongly opposed to the MMI2R quarry, as I believe it would do <br />irreparable harm to the natural water, soil, and wildlife resources of this area. <br />S' cezely, ~~. <br />I A.
