M-2001-069 <br />Dlvlsrom~o Field Off~e <br />Deaz Mr. Oswald, of Mineral 8 Geolo9Y <br />Thank you for your prompt replies to my inquiries and Written Objection concerning the <br />above-captioned file. <br />Please find enclosed my signed Party Status Request Form, on which I have indicated <br />that I request to be withdrawn from party status. <br />I do not believe that my being a party to this action will accomplish anything, and will <br />most certainly delay the inevitable, which is the ultimate granting of ACI's permits. <br />Myself and my neighbors objected to the establishment of yet another gravel pit in our <br />azea simply because we already live with 3 active, yeaz-round gravel pit operations within <br />a mile of our homes. We took our objections and our fight to our County Commissioners <br />not once, but twice. We won the first round, but lost the second. We fought our fight by <br />the rules and laws, and we lost our fight by virtue of those roles and laws. So be it. What <br />we will do as concerned neighbors to ACI's operation is the only thing that we can do: <br />See to it that ACI operates by the roles and laws that govern such types of operation, and <br />we will do that. Our County Commissioners have seen fit to set certain guidelines in <br />addition to those set by the State by which ACI must operate, and our Commissioners <br />have agreed to oversee from their level ACI's operation, and have agreed to investigate <br />any and every complaint that may be filed by any neighbor as to ACI's operation. <br />For me to continue to object to ACI's presence and operation seems to be fruitless and a <br />waste of not only my time, but that of ACI, your office, and many other State Agencies. I <br />do not wish to do that, therefore I submit the enclosed signed Party Status Request Form. <br />
