~~ 1 D /l~ <br />Apri126, 2007 <br />Div. of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman St. #215 <br />Denver CO 80203 / <br />Re: Coaldale Gypsum Quarry permit (#M-1977-247) <br />Gentlemen: <br />Please deny Holcim's permit to re-open the Coaldale Gypsum Quarry. <br />,~~~ z <br />~ APR 3 01007 <br />Division of reclamation, <br />.Mining and Safety <br />Holcim has made ingratiating "pre-permit" assurances to the Coaldale community (which strongly fears <br />and opposes the mine re-opening). But the company's documented track record suggests that those <br />promises will be flagrantly ignored once the permit is obtained. <br />Other permitting agencies have Teamed this the hazd way. Holcim-a notorious environmental outlaw- <br />has aproven history of habitually disregazding guazantees made in their permit applications, and <br />violating agreed-to guidelines. <br />Attached is documentation that proves this chronic pattern of deceit and corporate irresponsibility. <br />The azea immediately swrounding the Coaldale Quarry is now residential-yet Holcim asswes us that <br />their mining will have "no impact" on the community. Really? After reading the following revelations, <br />you will be convinced that Holcim Inc. should never be permitted to re-open the Coaldale Quany- <br />no matter what they promise. <br />Sincerely, <br />~"' <br />S.E.
