I also addressed the concern to Castle Concrete through their <br />attorney, a copy of that correspondence is attached. My concerns are these; <br />1. Visually the stock piled material is objectionable to residents of <br />the adjoining residential subdivision. <br />2. The material with time cascades down the hillside, covering the <br />native vegetation, and stagnating future plant growth. <br />3. Loss of the natural hillside vegetation promotes erosion, danlayes tl~e <br />natural watershed, causes an increase in flowrates and quantities of <br />surface drainage into the downstream drainage vaays of other property <br />owners. <br />My questions to you and to the ,lined Land Reclamation Division are these; <br />1. What types of permitted activities are allovaed along this haulage <br />road? <br />2. Is the stock piling of material or wasting of karst material <br />down the hillsides permitted in this area? <br />3. At the time of reclamation what cJill be the minimal reyuirement.s of <br />the mine operator for removal of the cascaded debris and reseeding <br />of the hillside? <br />4. Is it not in the interest of tliu mine operator to damage as lil.tle of <br />hillside as possible in order to limit tlTe cost of future <br />reclamation? <br />5. What will be the methods of the division in investigating these <br />concerns and within what time table? <br />I would gladly meet vaith you or your representation near the site to shove <br />ypu what is visible from tlTe adjoining properties. SlTOUld you like to <br />arrange a meeting I can be reached at (717) 577-9777. I look forclard to your <br />responses at your earliest convenience. <br />Enclosures <br />Majestic Building <br />7 East Bijou, Suite 214 <br />Sincerely, <br />-V ~~''`'`~ ~ 'f <br />Gregory M.
