Donna G. Loos <br />P.O. Box 1334 <br />460 Steamboat Valley Road <br />Lyons, Colorado 80540 <br />May 18, 1999 <br />Land Use Departmeint <br />P.O. Box 471 <br />Boulder, Colorado 80306 <br />Re: Docket Application SU-99-04 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am writing this letter in response to Arkins Park Stone Corporation's application to enlarge <br />their Steamboat Vallley quarry to 59+ acres because 1 am very concerned by the company's <br />lack of knowledge and responsibility in their present and future quarrying operations. <br />It is vital that the company be made aware that this quarry is an important habitat for at least <br />four species found on the Federal and State Threatened and Endangered Species List. <br />1. The Bald Eagle hunts across this valley from the east near the Southdown plant to <br />the west near Apple Valley. This has been an on-going, well documented route at <br />least for the six years I have lived in Steamboat Valley. <br />2. The Ferruginous Hawk has been migrating through this valley for the past three <br />years, according to Audubon Society members, and have been found nesting and <br />breeding in Steamboat Valley through the winter for the past few years. <br />3. The Common Kiagsnake lives and breeds in the valley. I have identified the <br />Kingsnake from one lying dead in front of my garage. Most importantly, I have <br />witnessed the Peregrine Falcon hunting over the quarry, catching snakes, carrying <br />them to the top of the telephone poles next to my house to feed. <br />in fact, the Frrrterican Peregrine Falcon is still under close scrutiny by the federal <br />government, as it was just removed from the endangered list in 1998. There are still <br />only 82 recorded pairs in the country, and one of those pairs lives on the western <br />edge of Steamboat Mountain, hunting across the Arkins Park Stone property. I saw <br />this pair hunting the quarry this past Monday evening around 6:30. As they flew low <br />across my land, I could very clearly identify them from their markings -the hood and <br />the light "armpit" - as they headed back to Steamboat Mountain. <br />4. The Northers Cricket Frog, listed on the State's List of Species of Special <br />Concern, is among a wide variety of toads and frogs which live in the lower canyon <br />where Arkin:> Park Stone recently dumped boulders and rocks, destroying 150 feet <br />
