<br />March 25, 1999 <br />:DIVED <br />Division of fvlineral and Geolotti <br />1313 Sherman St '~~,_'~ =~-0 <br />~~~~ <br />Denver. Co. 80203 <br />.:-er:~~s 3 iieclagy <br />To whom it may concern: <br />I am writing this letter to express my concern with All Rite Paving & Redi Mix's application for a mining <br />pemut at Sec.l & 36, Township 23 & 24 S. Range 55 W, 6th Prime Meridian, also known as 30000 hwy <br />194 La Junta, Co. S 1050. I Gve and farm in the area next to this proposed site. This is and has always been <br />solely an amicultural azea. Some of my concerns are, the site is right next to a river, and sewer lagoon . <br />Some of their previous sites have had leaking fuel and they have dumped their scrapped asphalt chunks in <br />arroyos. The water table is currently so hi¢h I am concerned the digging will cause the water to spread out <br />and ruin surrounding farmland even more. I am wortied the sand piles and dirt they will mine, will blow and <br />effect our livestock's health as well as other livestock in the area, increasing respiratory problems. I am <br />worried about the stagnant pools of water that may fortq causing increased mosquito breeding grounds. <br />This mine site will lower our property values and make it hazder to eet on and off the road with our farts <br />equipment. The Otero Counry Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny their request to have a sand <br />and gravel operation on this site. They felt this request would not incorporate reasonable means to create an <br />environment harmonious with that of surrounding properties and that the request will adversely affect [he <br />public health,safery and welfare. <br />Sincerely, <br />C, /~JO, friA.~tr <br />Kathy Cranson <br />30943 Hwy 194 <br />La ]unta,Co.
