Uw prorututy W the arure has caused ,everal areas of concern. <br />These include water quality, water quantity, noise impact, air quality impact, wildlife habitat protection and road <br />impel. <br />\\'e have several alluvial wells within 500' nfthe pmpnsed pit mine. l~'e would like to see a certified Hydrological <br />Engineer's recommendation as to how best to preserve both the quality and quantity of water in our drinking and <br />stock wells. We also own water rights (30 cfs) from L ittle Dry Creek and 2 springs The water quality and quantity <br />from these sources also needs to be preserved. <br />We are also highly cortcemed at how the lowering of the ground water level will affect our sub-irrigated pastures, <br />hayfields, trees and wildlife habitat. <br />The proposed plan shows air and sound abatement bein¢ addressed by building berms on the South and East sides of <br />the mine. We live North and West of the site. How do they propose to address the Noise end Dust in our direction? <br />We also need stated (in writing!) that they will NOT pursue use of our property for egress, depress, maintenance, <br />service, construction, utility or arty other reason as we have witnessed at other pit mines in our area. <br />We are also concerned about where the planned entrancele~dt of the site is. The old wooden bridge on WCR 18 is <br />certainly not up to this type of heavy traffic. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert and Janet Airhart <br />C11~-i~ p` 1. 'L<-~/62t,v~ <br />
