Ottr comments regarding this application aze <br />a:t follows: <br />1) The scope and size ofthis operation will adversely effect our surface rights and <br />the rcasanably use of the property. In fact the applicant has slated that there will be two <br />slate of operatiou consisting of twenty acres at a time. Th; stage 2 azea (137.17 acres) <br />}tas virua:ly little or no value Ilom a stuface stone extraction (see applicant comments pg. <br />11 ),yet the applicant would like this whole area permitted. Recent violation by the <br />applt~attts leads t~s to lx:licv-e that current rttine operation of approximately X3.1 acres was <br />only permitted for 9.9 acre clay mine and this was violated. We propose that the stage 2 <br />area reyut:st be denied since there is not any real value that would give the state a viable <br />return. YCUpVSeu Ji"r1iC f3\'e.^,t:° cs*.imat~s haled on this application would be $3900/ year <br />over a 5 year p:;riod. This hasn't been aclueved by the 2ppiicant over any peric:d tii'the <br />lease (over 20 y-rs.) <br />2)1'hc Siloam Stone operation has darrrag::d one ofour access roads and we <br />weren't evert contacted by Mr. Mueller. Tltis !ype of operauion needs constant supervision <br />not only by us but also your staff. The viulatiar:s [hat have occurred s,trely do not warrant <br />ar even bigger operation. <br />3) There azc wetlands on the stage two canyons' azcas west of Silocmt Road and on <br />the northerly par. of section 3G. No provisions have been made by the applicant to protect <br />these areas. <br />7600 South I-25 Pueblo, CO 81004 Office: 719-564-6367 Fax: 719-564-7338 <br />Ranch ~ <br />of I~lafchef <br />
