My concem is based <br />on the fact that Agile Stone's Proposed Project Description is inadequate in its presentation of <br />the impacts to the site and the area. As a commercial outfitter on the Arkansas River, I am <br />distressed by the fact the possible effects of the proposed project on the recreation and tourism <br />industry is not even addressed in the Proposed Project Description. It would seem logical that <br />some consideration would be given to the effects of the mine on the visual resources, water <br />quality, air quality, dust, vegetation, and riparian habitat in one of the most populaz tourism and <br />recreation areas in the state. <br />I am equally as concerned at the pace of which this project is seemingly being approved. <br />A decision [hat has such potential long term effects as this one should require extensive site <br />surveys, impact analysis, more extensive public hearings, water and air quality analysis and <br />traffic impact studies as well as a study on the impacts on recreation and tourism. It appears <br />obvious to me that few if any of these issues have been adequately addressed. <br />As much as I would like to see the entire CUP denied, if it were to be approved I would <br />like to see the above issues addressed; as well as extensive and detailed visual screening plans, <br />noise impact minimization and specific transportation outlines containing both rail and non-rail <br />hauling options. , <br />S# /fir. ~-~~ ~~r <br />Please give this matter the serious consideration that it deserves.
