<br />Dear Editor
<br />DEAR EDITOR, ~ .
<br />Tfils b one of those "I told you so letters", As Battle .
<br />Mountain Gold l:o. contlnuts to destroy the Rico Seco
<br />i Wsterehed end now they volunteer to shut themselves
<br />dowtl for having major cyanide concentratlons In thetr
<br />fallings ponds, this Is all beginning to become the reality
<br />d s Nghtmare. Aa recently as a few months ago, [
<br />remember -elltng a few residents that BMG wee going to
<br />create Irreparable damage to our local water supply end
<br />environment; well, It looks like I was right. HMG out o[
<br />the gdodnesa d their heart has voluntarily closed the
<br />ttdlltng facltltles because of a (salty design that has
<br />created a dangerously Ngh cyaNde concentration !n
<br />theft ponds. I can stW recall the smooth talking experts
<br />teWng us that this mWing facWty was the "State N the
<br />Art" faetuty and notbtng could go wrong. Again "I told
<br />you so". BMG'a "Stele of The,{ " tacWty H starting to
<br />look like another mWng comp~S y'a "Seat of the Penis"
<br />design that cause mass destruction to local watersheds
<br />and communftles. Remember SummitvWe: they did
<br />everytldng to keep themselves open et the expeme o[ the
<br />now dead Alamoaa river and Terrace Reservoir. The
<br />scary part of the BMG/Rlto Seco tragedy la the worst fs
<br />yet to come. N I've sold before, cyanide V usually the
<br />short term problem. The real problem occurs when the
<br />heavy metals mftlgate and erosion (wind and moisture)
<br />take over. When do we say no to these Boom or bust In-
<br />dustries? The days of the manifest destiny ere over,
<br />BMG. I'm sure you don't mean to screw up, you Just do.
<br />Itasldaate el the Vaftcy, we plead with yon. Help us gel
<br />this venomous serpent out of our backyard: Came to San
<br />Lull and look at the Hartle Mountain scar. You be the
<br />Judge. No way can they reclatrn the land, and common
<br />sense wW tell you this. Let us learn from Sununttvllle,
<br />Quests, Leaklvtlle, etc..., that mhtel:are polluters and
<br />they mint be controlled. > • : . ~. .

<br />law, thousands of Coloradans In mountainous parts o[ the
<br />state wW effectlvely be cut off from the teat of aGte to a
<br />degree.
<br />Not only M Wlrth's amendment to the Airport end
<br />Airway Improvement Act Reauthorlratlan BW one that
<br />calls for unnecessary added regulatlon, but It proposes
<br />that general avlatlon altcraH at mountain airports
<br />anywhere !n the rnuntry be regulated by rite Federal
<br />Avladon Adndnlstratlon, What that means L+pilots flying
<br />Into mountaL-k airports would be required to have s
<br />similar level of pilot tralNng and alrcratt egWpment to
<br />that of commercial aircraft operatlons st the aatne
<br />airports. '
<br />Myone who Wes, or has Rown, general evlatlon air
<br />craft {as I have) knows that this tr real appleaarangea
<br />comparLwn. That aside, however, when you look deeper
<br />Into this Wadvlsed WLih proposal. It hecornea clear how
<br />much long-range dame~e It would do to the ernntngy of
<br />aH Colorado. In addttlon, added regulatlon would
<br />naturally mean extra federal spending that cromes out o[
<br />tazpayer's pockets.
<br />Tlds type of proposal seems to emphasize how out of
<br />touch someone Wce Wirth tr -not only to the average
<br />Coloradan but to the specific needs of the whole state m
<br />weH.
<br />I urge people who ere served by mountain airports to
<br />write Wlrth's otflce to ezpress thetr dL+pleasure with this
<br />wrong-headedldea.

<br />DEAR EDyrOR: Reoper
<br />JeH Stern, m his Feb. 22, 1992 edltorlal "Make wap for
<br />the Redeye Express" says: "The [lyboya at the Air
<br />Nadonal Guard still haven't offered us a plausible
<br />Justltlcatlon for the Dunes MOA." Well, perhaps a
<br />rationale has been revealed, but It's up to Colorado
<br />citizens to Judge how plausible Ills.
<br />In the COANG submittal of the Redeye Complex
<br />proposal, dated November 19, 1991, to military end
<br />F.A.A. reviewing authodtles, the Airspace Jlatl[Icatlon,
<br />page twe states:
<br />A. "The abWty to host a variety of partlcpanW seeking
<br />reaUstlc combat traWng )n suitable alrepatt and
<br />weapons range areas is the very essence of the REDEYE
<br />COMPLEx."
<br />B. "Locales able to support exercises are few: par-
<br />ticularly In the eastern U.S. Colorado fortunate to possess
<br />those qualltles capable of supportlng perlkxllc eserclse
<br />training acinartous."
