• Realtors are warning that an operating quarry will lower real estate values <br />& hurt resale potential. <br />• Lower property values will create a lower tax base which will negatively <br />impact the fire district and therefore fire protection for the residents <br />because the district is funded directly from property taxes. <br />• Widespread dust, smoke & airborne pollutants from mine operations. <br />• Thick dust clouds from constant heavy hauling of material from quarry on <br />dirt mine access road. <br />• Dust clouds and pollutants from blasting, crushing and hauling blown <br />throughout the valley by Coaldale's frequent high winds. <br />• Excessive noise pollution from many aspects of mining operation. <br />• Periodic blasting and the potential for well and structural damage to <br />_ residences adjoining and near the quarry. <br />Unpredictable damage to our fragile water table from deep blasting, with <br />very possible damage and tainting of existing water wells. <br />Holcim Inc. is the EPA's worst polluter in Fremont County. The Coaldale Valley <br />is the most beautiful valley in Fremont County and one of the most beautiful in <br />the State of Colorado. Bighorn Sheep Canyon is one of the most beautiful <br />canyons in the United States. There are other places to obtain gypsum. The <br />profits for obtaining gypsum in Coaldale were always small. If Holcim is not <br />allowed to re-open the mine they lose nothing but some possible small future <br />profit. If Coaldale's beauty and tranquility are destroyed, the residents, the <br />community, the county, the state and the world will lose far more in other <br />resources and for longer than thirty two years and the foreseeable future. <br />Please, please reject any application for permits to reopen the Coaldale Quarry, <br />especially by an international mining giant like Holcim. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert L. Parker <br />Property owner <br />Business owner <br />Board member, Deer Mountain Fire Protection District <br />Local firefighter <br />Resident <br />
