~~ <br />Monday, April 10, 2004 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />To whom it may concern, <br />~'RECElV~® <br />MAY 7 2 2004 <br />Division of Minerals & GeoloBY <br />I am writing you this letter regazding the Mascot Placer in the Swan River Valley. <br />Everist Materials LLC, is requesting an application to convert an existing Construction <br />Material Limited Impact (110) Reclamation Permit to a regular (112) Reclamation Permit <br />with the Colorado Mined Reclamation Board, which will entail the operation of a <br />seasonal rock crushing operation. I want you to know, myself and many of my neighbors <br />aze opposed to this permit application being granted by the Division of Minerals and <br />Geology. <br />I have been a local yeaz round Summit County resident since 1991 and have certainly <br />seen the extraordinary evolution of development, growth and change in our county over <br />the yeazs. As you know we cannot stop change, but we can certainly manage the overall <br />impact it has on our community and quality of life for our citizens as well as our visitors. <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has the opportunity to shape the Swan River <br />Valley's future in accordance with the Summit County Master Plan and Upper Blue <br />Master Plan. The rock crushing which will be associated with the (112) Reclamation <br />Permit is not in harmony with the nature of the Swan River Valley. This spectacular <br />valley affords local residents as well as visitors, the opportunity to enjoy a very special <br />lifestyle. A few of the year round activities in the valley include, hiking, mountain <br />biking, trail running, golf, fly fishing, access to National Forest and the Colorado Trail, <br />hunting, equestrian activities, snowmobiling, snow showing and cross-country skiing. <br />As a local homeowner raising a family in the Swan River Valley, I hope you see that a <br />rock crushing plant on the Mascot Placer with its heavy truck traffic, dust and noise does <br />not fit into the residential make up of the area as well as the outdoor lifestyle enjoyed by <br />al. the residents and visitors. You have the opportunity to help shape the character and <br />use of one of Summit County's most beautiful valleys. <br />Please deny Everist Materials, LLC application fora (112) Reclamation Permit. <br />Thank you for your consideration regarding this matter. <br />Si ely, <br />~~_ <br />e oore <br />/iM - ~~- OS~ <br />Pac_ <br />C(TVV1 <br />
