Mascot Placer Operation. Located near Section 24, <br />Township 6 South, Range 77 West, 6~' Principal Meridian. <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am writing this letter with much concern over Everest Materials,LLC acquiring the <br />112 reclamation permit. It seems that the next step is the set up of a crushing plant. <br />In the past there has been a great concern from the residents that live on Tiger Road that <br />truck traffic would increase dramatically. Tiger Road is a residential community with <br />many bicyclists and pedestrians with children and is a link to the Colorado trail which is <br />used throughout the year. <br />The citizens of this community have never argued the past 110 permit and all agree that <br />there is a need for these resources. But all agree that having a crusher in this azea is out of <br />the question. There has been much opposition from previous contractors trying to acquire <br />a permit to crush aggregate material. <br />Tiger Road is a very rural road with narrow sections and poor sub surface conditions. <br />As to the wildlife habitat, the Swan Valley is a major migration route for the local elk <br />herd. To my knowledge there has not been a wildlife impact study. It is evident that <br />wetlands have been impacted by previous efforts with little regard to the surrounding <br />habitat. <br />The 110 Permit seems to be working well with the surrounding open space and out back <br />azeas. Residents do not argue the extraction of the tailings but will oppose the set up of <br />any sort of crushing operations. The current Summit County Commissioners are aware of <br />the past public concern and I would hope that the Division of Minerals and Geology take <br />a close look at future intentions. <br />Sincerely, <br />A Concerned Citizen <br />Q.IiJ <br />G6 ~ <br />
