Aggregate Source <br />Permit No. M-77-193 <br />Dear Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Member: <br />I oppose T.H.E. Aggregate Source, Inc., being allowed a modifica- <br />tion of the Board's Notice and Order of November 27, 1995. The permit <br />amendment is void. <br />I desire that stormwater controls be installed and that no further <br />mining disturbance be allowed. I believe that T.H.E. Aggregate Source, <br />Inc., should not be allowed to expand disturbance on Fremont Peak. <br />The existing mining has caused very serious environmental impact. <br />The historic mountain, Fremont Peak, is defaced; historic Tunnel <br />Drive is a Truck Route; the historic Saddle and Bridle Trail up Fremont <br />Peak is closed. Further mining activity will specifically eliminate the <br />canyon which the Saddle and Bridle Club used for 60 years until the <br />present mining started. The historic tunnels which gave the city street <br />its name are closed off from public use. The mining disturbance has <br />effectively discouraged development and repair of the road and bridge <br />on the western end of the drive. The historic agriculture or the area <br />is impacted; historic orchards are endangered. <br />All of the issues of conservation are here to be addressed. This <br />quarry is a high wall directly above houses. The ground water issues <br />have been severely minimized by the quarrel over a person's right to <br />mine his land. The home owners and their homes are in danger right now. <br />~~~ - - ~~~ <br />~~~ <br />~~ <br />~,E, <br />'~ar~vr~ <br />
