Mount <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman. # 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Carl, <br />R,c,, <br />c11 ~~~ <br />May ~ <br />~.i~.... <br />' ~'ai.-~(y ~h <br />This is a follow up letter to our recent phone cottversatioa. It regards a specific gravel pit <br />operation in Chaffee County about one and a half miles north of Buena Vista This pit is <br />presently owned by Fred Baldwin of Hardrock Paving and Redi-Mix Company. His <br />phone is 866-589-6832 or 719-395-2222. It has been operated in the past by John Ary of <br />Fremont Paving, P.O. Box 841, Canon City, CO., 81212. His phone is 719-275-4555. <br />To the best of my knowledge the state permit was granted in 1977, permit # 1977-196 <br />and is designated as Section 30, 14N, lE, and located on Coutrty Road 383. 'this may not <br />be accurate as the person helping me find this had great difficuhies determuuing if this <br />was indeed this particular gravel pit. The permit aceouat was reopened is 2003 and has <br />been very active during the first part of 2007. <br />We and our neighbors to tl-e south and ttorth of us ate respectfully tegtusting tbat this <br />permit not be allowed to continue std that aU operatiota of this gravel pit be terminated. <br />We request this because of the exfriente aaaotmit of dolt that has been directly assaulting <br />our homes when the wind blows, which is constantly and daily in this area. There were <br />marry borax what we thought we wen is another Eastern Plains Dust Bowl of the 1930's. <br />It is not possible to open a single window, std the dust actually seeps in through closed <br />windows and permeates the air, and worse still, it is not possible to go outside during <br />these dust attacks. Ia addition, when the operation is active our entire house "rumbles" <br />and the integrity of our foundation rosy be being compromised. <br />
