.-~.s^ <br />f previously mined areas <br />and rocks onto public <br />visable dust into the <br />thus far. <br />are reclaimed. Heavy rains are washing soil <br />roads, and winds are carrying large amounts of <br />area because of the minimal reclamation efforts <br />MINIMAL FIINDING OF RECLAMATION PLANS <br />Although Castle Concrete left out the anticipated expense for reclaiming <br />the permitted area, they told our group that they planned to spend <br />only $20,000 for the entire 8.36 acre expansion. We feel this is <br />minimal considering the cost of reclamation of other quarries in the <br />area. We do not consider the 4 inches of top soil or approximately <br />28 pounds of grass seed adequate for this kind of a project. <br />Because the funding information was left out of the public document <br />we question what other information is not available to the public. <br />LEND IISE ISSIIES <br />Although we understand the board does not have jurisdiction on land <br />use issues, there is no other entity dealing with the problems of <br />increased air and noise pollution, public safety from truck activity, <br />or visable scarring which affects the local tourist economy. Both <br />Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs have passed resolutions opposing <br />this amendment. The county commissioners have lost the right to <br />control these issues because of an earlier court case. We urge you <br />to consider these matters in reviewing this amendment. <br />We thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />Cordially, <br />KeF~i QuinK Schmitt <br />President <br />Concerned Citizens for Williams <br />Canyon <br />
