The <br />lor?tion of this »it is ve13r ~lncP to rnrPnfi rlPVPln=manf that hac l,nr~,rrn`1 ;,, +l,o 1~~+ A <br />years. I feel that the activation of the pit would cause adverse impact on the <br />surrounding land which I believe is zoned rural residential and which is becoming <br />more developed over time. <br />I am also concerned about the access to this pit. Heavy trucks travelling on paved roads <br />cause wear damage. Trucks on unpaved roads cause road damage, as well as dust <br />which obscures visibility. The location of this pit is to the west of the Buena Vista <br />Airport, slid the prevailing winds crould create dust clouds in the view pilots have while <br />taking off and landing at that airport. <br />I am also rnncerned about the creation of a mine right in an azea where seasonal <br />migration of deer and elk exists. Would this impact their migration? <br />I am not able to review the application for this pit because the office where I would be <br />able to look at it is closed due to the Thanksgiving holiday. <br />Thank you for your attention to these comments. <br />Sin//"~~ <br />Alice Morie Sa e~ <br />wy <br />
