<br /> <br />I would like to note that when I went down to Fremont County to copy a map of the <br />quarry expansion I was not able to do so. This map contained general information that I <br />wanted to have analyzed by my hydrologist and the Fremont County clerk would not <br />allow me to take it out of the o$ce to copy. The county's copy machine was not large <br />enough to handle the document. In this case, pubhc access to important information <br />concerning this amendment application was denied and unavailable as is requved. <br />Red Canyon Quarry also must be in compliance with their Conditional Use Permit before <br />they amendment application can be granted and of this writing a violation of they <br />Conditional Use Permit is pending. I have submitted 3 recent complaints to the Fremont <br />County Plamting and Zoning Depaztment that oversees compliance with Red Canyon <br />Quarry's (CUP). These complaints aze in regazd to the reporting of Saturday trucking that <br />occurs at the quarry. I complained that in September 2000 Mr. Stack reported that there <br />were only 2 Saturday trucking days when in fact there were 4 days that trucks hauled out <br />of the quarry. Mr. Stack responded that there was an administrative error and that there <br />were indeed 4 Saturday trucking days in September 2000. I have also complained that in <br />October of 2000 Mr. Stack reported that there was only 1 Saturday trucking day in <br />October while I videotaped, with National Public Radio Saturday Weekend Edition on in <br />the background, 2 Saturdays that trucks hauled out of Red Canyon Quarry. Mr. Stack <br />responded that there was only I Saturday that trucks hauled in October. I have also filed <br />another complaint that Mr. Stack reported that there was no Saturday trucking days in <br />January 2001. I videotaped trucks again, with National Public Radio Saturday Weekend <br />Edition on in the background, hauling from the quarry on 1 Saturday in January 2001. <br />I also object to the expansion of this quarry because the extension of the proposed "Take <br />avoidance Areas" would potentially result in a taking of the Mexican Spotted Owl (Stria <br />occidentalis lucida) a species under the Endangered Species Act. Terry Ireland (FWS) <br />drew a boundary line where quarrying could take place without owl monitoring and <br />without obtaining an incidental take permit and the preparation of a habitat conservation <br />plan (HCP). Neither an HCP, incidental take permit or owl monitoring study have been <br />provided with this application and without these documents this amendment is <br />
