Dept. of itiutural fje.�Uurces <br /> Re: Mining and Reclamation Plan <br /> Bestway Paving Company <br /> Greeley, Colorado <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> It is my understanding that your commission will be considering <br /> the mining and reclamation plan as filed by Bestway Paving at your <br /> September 27 and 28 meeting to be held in Steamboat Springs. <br /> Please note that I am opposed to a mining operation of any kind <br /> on this property because it is in a residential area. It is not zoned <br /> for industrial uses. However, if it is to be mined, there are a number <br /> of questions I feel should be answered before any plan is approved: <br /> 1. Has Bestway given specific committments to insure that the <br /> quality of our neighborhood will not deteriorate from dust, <br /> noise and visual pollution? <br /> 2. Noise from the Bestway operation is already a problem for <br /> residents and school children in the area. Has Bestway <br /> made specific committments to prevent this from increasing? <br /> Will there be more and bigger trucks as the operation <br /> expands? <br /> 3. What organization or commission (state, local or federal) is <br /> ultimately responsible for seeing that all requirements are <br /> met by Bestway in the future? <br /> 4. How can Bestway Paving have published legal notices that are <br /> false? There is a great deal of public interest in this matter <br /> and to have a so called public meeting held over 200 miles from <br /> the citizens directly involved is surely trickery on the part <br /> of someone. To have such meeting advertised as being held in <br /> Denver when it is not-is worse. <br /> 5. Is it really necessary to mine second grade gravel in the <br /> middle of a residential neighborhood when there are miles of <br /> top grade gravel available all along the Cache La Poudre <br /> river from Fort Collins to Fort Morgan and beyond? <br /> Your thoughts and considerations on the above will be appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> *� --O/r <br /> Mik.
