Uur prosinriry to t;te mute has caused several areas of wncern. <br />These include water quality, water quantity, noise impact, air quality impact, wildlife habitat protection and road <br />imput. <br />We have several alluvial welts within 500' of the proposed pit mine \\'e would like ro see a certified Hydrologiczl <br />Engineer's recommendation as to how best to preserve both the quality and quantity of water in our drinking and <br />stock wells We also otvn water rights (2(1 cfs) from Little Dry Creek and 3 springs The water quality and quantity <br />from these sources also needs to be preserved. <br />We are also highly concerned a[ how the lowering of the ground water level will affect our sub-irtigated pastures, <br />hayfields, trees and wildlife habitat. <br />The proposed plan shows su and sound abatement being addressed by butlding berms on the South and East sides of <br />the mine. We live North and West of the site. How do they propose to address the Noise and Dust in our direction? <br />We also need stated (in writing!) that they will NOT pursue use of our property for egress, degress, maintenance, <br />service, conshuction, utility or any other reason as we have witnessed et other pit mines in our area. <br />We are also concemed about where the planned entranceJerdt of the site is. The old wooden bridge on WCR 1 S is <br />certainly not up to this type of heavy traffic. <br />Sincerely. <br />Robert and Janet Airhart <br />-, <br />~~ ~ <br />61--t~"1 ~~ / J <br />1. <br />
