<br />FiEC~'" „-D <br />r"."' c 4 ~:~3 <br />L~~~ <br /> <br />Div Sion of tvtin als end Geology <br />To Whom It May Concern: ~,~~~~ ~~ <br />This letter is in regazds to the proposed mine known as the COOLEY RESERVOIR AND <br />FULTON WILDLIFE AREA AMENDMENT NO I - IERONIMUS PROPERTY. <br />I am really~ncerned about the impact his operation will have on our property located <br />at 8021 E. 100' Ave.. We are located next door just north of AGGREGATE <br />INDUSTRIES plant operations and east of their mining and refilling of the byproducts <br />operations. The new proposed mine and refill operations will be on the north side of our <br />property. This area is located in the Platte River basin and is in a high ground water area <br />and compounded by a dam on the west side of the river, which stops the flow of water <br />that histori.;.y spread tc the west of the_river. The rew proposed mine and refill operation <br />will be in a old gravel pit, which is now a lake. My concern is if they pump more waste <br />and water into the old lake it will flood our property and make it unusable. I have recently <br />visited their old plant at 880' and Riverdale Rd. and the finished waste operation looks <br />tike a moon scape with almost no plant life. We are already experiencing problems with <br />the dust caused by their operations. We get about a half inch of dust in our office every <br />week, which is not good for all the computers and other office equipment. Our shop <br />equipment (welding machines and cutting equipment) is full of dust and must be <br />cleaned all the time. When the wind blows hazd you sari t see 20 ft. in front of you. If <br />they start the refill operation to our north side it will compound our problem with more <br />dust and cost to clean everything. We also have a problem with the impact to the value of <br />our property, which is greatly reduced and almost impossible to sell at the market value if <br />we could sell at all. If AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES gets 12 years to complete this <br />operation it could put an unjust moratorium on the sell of our property for the same <br />amount of time. <br />We are strongly opposed to their application for mining on this property. <br />If you have any questions please call our office 303-287-3356 or our home 303-288- <br />5730. <br />Thanks for your time. <br />Douglas & Phyllis~acketz <br />~~ ,~ / / <br />;' / , ~~~ <br />~~~ <br />/~~~`~' / <br />RECEIVED <br />APR 0 4 2003 / <br />Division ~f Minerals and Geolapy <br />A6oloaD pue sleiampf fo uarsuiD <br />E~~~ 11 ~ c+u <br />a~ni3~3~ <br />
