Avenue <br />Co. 80631 <br />(303)356-8988 <br />31, 1994 <br />Re: Mining operations in Weld County, Colorado <br />Section 36, T6, NR66, West of the 6th. PM. <br />Dear Mr. Mount, <br />I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and <br />Mr. Gary Curtiss for your letter of October 13, 1994, stating <br />that Western Mobile/ Northern would have to monitor the <br />Alluvial Aquifer. However, there are other concerns that <br />have come up. They are as follows: <br />Mining operations have to be 200-600 feet from <br />existing structures. Currently, Western Mobile is <br />mining about 50 feet from our property. <br />Could the mining operations contaminate our only <br />source of potable water with hazardous materials or <br />substances? Would this be an E.P.A. concern? <br />There are young children living on North 28th. <br />Avenue, and Mrs. Ella May Gibson has several young <br />grandchildren visiting her often. Young children's <br />inquisitiveness could result in injury or death, due <br />to mining operations being in such close proximity <br />with no adequate barrier. <br />The dust problem has become a nuisance. House <br />cleaning and car washing have become a daily chore. <br />Mrs. Brown, who lives on a limited budget, tries to <br />save money by hanging her washed clothes outside. <br />This is no longer possible. <br />When mining operations are done at night, the flood <br />lights Western Mobile uses make it hard for people in <br />this area to sleep. The noise pollution is certainly <br />not conducive to sleep, either. <br />Thank you for considering this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />v <br />Rex J. Ortgiesen <br />
