Everist monitor its baghouses to ensure they are working as designed? What is the <br />typical life of a sock? How often are all of the socks changed? Is there some set interval <br />or is it done only after multiple failures are observed? <br />My noise concern still stands as well. I will not argue the point that we could not hear the <br />plant on the day we met. 1 will however explain why. As you know it was a little windy <br />on the day we met We had to put weights oa the maps to keep them from flying off the <br />hood of my truck. The wind muffled the noise that day, yet even with the wind and all of <br />the trees between us and the plant we could still hear back-up alarms. You might well <br />imagine that on a still day, the noise eau be much worse. I am aware of the noise levels <br />that must be complied with per 25-12-103 C.R.S. Industrial: 80db(A) between Tarn and <br />7pm and 75db(A) between 7pm and lam at 25 feet from the property line These aze nice <br />limits, but who monitors to see if they are being complied with. The county might have <br />the resources to spot check it every now end then, but who monitors it on a regulaz basis? <br />These measurements aze also to be taken when the wind velocity is less than 5 m.p.h. <br />I concur that gravel pits are allowed in agricultural zoned areas with aUse-by-5pecial- <br />Review permit <br />I agree that the truck traffic will not increase, but the increase of 162 trips per day that <br />has already taken place will continue for a much longer period. Instead of the traffic <br />dropping off at the end of the existing mine's depletion, it will continue to as late as the <br />year 2030. <br />I stand by my statement that I feel this operation has and will contirue to negatively <br />affect my quafity of life and property values. The Iivision of Wildlife has recotomended <br />a 200-300' setback from the cottonwood riparian treE line at the river because of the use <br />of this corridor by the wildlife in the area The wildlife in the area adds to my quality of <br />life and my property value. The permit is requesting a 200' setback from the river bank <br />instead of from the tree line. <br />Respectfully <br />Ros Bachofer <br />Cc: Kate Pickford, Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Kim Ogle, Weld County Planning <br />.LSItISA3 9 Z 84CTB8ZCOC %V3 T~'•6T 90%OT/ZO <br />
