• , iiiiiniiiiuiiiiii <br /> <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. ~ Gv~~~•Q/ <br />"~~ <br />I have serious concerns regarding the pollution of <br />the Arkansas river from thedust from crushing gravel and <br />from using 30,000 to 50,000 gallons of water per day. Where <br />will the water come from? and ,more importantly, where will <br />the polluted water go? <br />The pollutants will eventually find there way to the <br />river and affect everyone downstream. This pit/mine would <br />use as much water as 1,000 househoulds, we know water is <br />too precious a commodity to squander this way, then return <br />to the river andenvironment in a polluted condition. The <br />polluted runoff into out precious river cannot be allowed! <br />There is a faultline in the immediate area that might <br />adversly affect the flow of the river; rivers have been known <br />to disappear when fault line disturbances (from blasting) <br />occur. <br />the risks to our balanced environment are to great <br />to allow this pit/mine to damage this fragile area. <br />Sincerel <br />Gregor <br />529 Di_____ <br />Canon City, Colo. <br />269-8432 <br />
