We are writing to let you know of our concerns. <br />The people who live near the Peabody Coal site northwest of Nucla say there <br />is a lot of dust and noise pol.ution from the blasting that goes on. Some say <br />they have had some damage done to their structures. We will be within a mile <br />of the area they will be mining so we are concerned. <br />At the present time the area west of us is farm land and pasture. It is <br />green, relatively flat, productive and very attractive. We certainly do hope <br />that there will be regulations and enforcement imposed on Peabody Coal Company <br />to return the area to the way it is now and not left as nptural habitat as <br />the area northwest of town has been reclaimed. <br />We understand you will be conducting meetings in the area to resolve <br />any questions residents may have. l•Je are very interested in attending such <br />meetings and would like to know when and where they will be held. <br />We are interested in our area providing jobs for people as we are quite <br />depressed here. lie are however interested in maintaining a nice place to <br />live for the people who have their homes and lives here. lle want to remain <br />proud of our community. Surely there is a medium ground where both can be <br />accomplished. <br />Sincerely, <br />~- Paul Woods (//Joanne Woods <br />
