Stecktnan. My husband Rod and 1 own lot 30 in the roper <br />phase of the Red Creek Ranch Development. We too Love the land and the suttouadings <br />of Red Creek. To my understanding we can't stop this mining of section 36. I do feel <br />very strongly that this Siloam Stone Mining Co. will need to be more considerate of the <br />home owners in this area. Change is a big part of life as we know it. Families have <br />purchased the "New American Dteam" by choosing to live in this area. But that <br />"American Dream" should not include a `Blast" going off as a School Bus drives by with <br />a group of children on it. It should rat include distorting the natural Wet Lands that are in <br />that azea. The mining lease should not give this company the right to remove the historic <br />Indian petroglyphs that aze in that area. <br />We have drilled a well 610 feet down at $16.00 per foot. $10,000.00 has been <br />invested 'unto that well How is this Blasting going to effect our water supply? My <br />children ride our horses up and down these roads that these large trucks ere going to be <br />traveling on. Will the Blasting materials need to be a concern? <br />Road conditions, noise, dust control. I know that this company will have to follow certain <br />guidelines, but who will make sure that they do. Who do I call if I see that they are not <br />i, following these guidelines ? I realize again that they can't be stopped. Ibis azea is now <br />populated, it is where my children will grow up and my grandchiidren will come to visit. <br />The mining w. will have to respect this and the state and bcal government have to <br />support ovr firm concerns. Hopefully by setting strong guidelutes, restrictions and <br />conditions and by following up on those conditions set forth. <br />This mining co can not continue to operate as they have in the past with [hat azea <br />changing as it is. <br />I, as a land owner wid be watching very closely...... <br />Thank you for reading my thoughts concerning Joe and Kelly Parks and their protest <br />of the mining of section 36. <br />Virginia K.
