III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />Jan. 1, 2002 <br />20501 Highway 12 <br />Weston, CO 81091 <br />Dan Hernandez <br />Colo. Dev. Of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St. <br />Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Deaz Mr. Hernandez: <br />RECEIVED <br />JAN 14 2002 <br />Division o! Minerals 8 Geo;xiv <br />Several things concern me about the operations of Lorencito Coal Company. <br />Photo number 1 shows a frozen Purgatory River, the dark area in the river is <br />not water, but is coal dust on top of the ice. This photo was taken Dec. 11, <br />2001, about 200 yards east of M.P. 53 on Highway 12. The shuttle train <br />loading area is in the background. This fugitive dust was carried downstream <br />later in the day. Because this area is next to highway 12, there are other <br />witnesses besides myself to this particulaz incident. <br />Photo # 2 shows a man involved in the blasting doing a seismograph of a <br />blast. He is located in the school yazd. Because he is on public property, I <br />would like a copy of all blasting logs that have been taken. Also any records <br />of seismograph malfunctions. My home has suffered violent shaking from <br />these blasts. <br />Photo 3 shows a cloud of poisonous nitrogen gases hugging the ground near <br />Primero School during a temperature inversion. Clouds like this have <br />enveloped the school yard and homes nearby. I will send more photos when I <br />get them developed. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ron Leef <br /> <br />
