How will you maintain <br />that level? <br />- Are there plans to accomodate the increase in traffic <br />and mitigate the dust and air pollution caused by said traffic <br />and construction equipment; or maintain an already beleaguered <br />road 8? <br />- Will there be a fuel station? If so, where will it be <br />located? What prevention measures are in place to prevent ground <br />and water contamination? What security measures exist that will <br />prevent theft or sabotage? <br />- What is the time line for th Riverhen operation? Specifically, <br />operations that occur within close proximity to this property. <br />- According to a survey provided us upon purchase of our home <br />our east side property line is seventeen feet east of the <br />existing fence line. This has provided the neighbor's cattle a <br />route to pasture. We wish to reestablish that property line. <br />- What is your solution to mitigate water table fluctuation <br />and changes in well depth or wetland water supply? Aalf of our <br />property is a wetland that is home to countless birds, mammals and <br />amphibians. Even minor changes to this ecosystem would have a <br />drastic effect on the wild life that we hold dear and enjoy so <br />much. That pond and pasture you will be mining has been home to <br />thousands of frogs and toads; blue herons, geese, pelicans hawks <br />kingfishers migrating bald eagles and other species too <br />numerous to name. These will be lost to us .curing your operation. <br />The nightly summer symphony of croakers and peepers will be silent. <br />When all is said and done,how will the reclamation restore the <br />wildlife? Will there be a body of water nearby to enjoy? <br />What will you propose as compensation to offset the anticipated <br />decline in property value? <br />_ ~- ~ <br /> <br />
