I am writing to ask that you do net allow further expansion
of the Castle Concrete Company ggarries on the the Front -
Range near Colorado SF,rings.
'.••e have :watched :with s ;aness and anger as the scars ur. the
n:o:mtain !:are erc:;r d~rinc t':e last years. :ur beautiful
Front :'ange is *ecc; is;~ .'.cvzstated ty the agly cuarries.
St seers wrong that a for' ~ec•gle cr. ', c :r'_s wad councils s'_euld
be able to give a~:ay for n~in and devast.~,tion, the ro;L~tains
t!~at God gave to all of us to lore and enjoy. '•,`e have been
fcrturate because ;;e have lived during a perie~ '.:her. the
re•:atains ;;ere beautiful and ur.sroiled. Foolishly ~:!e thought.
thr.t no one cruld ta'.:e err r.~e~~ntains 2:way frnr± us. `:e ''__~~_
never hid to see them ~crhed znd destroyed i^. •.r~rf~z•e.
?nstead :;e tre havir._ to ::atc'.~ then being n,~arried a;.•ay to
f::rnis!~ gravel fora fes: to sell.
'. e,at least, will have our rren~.^ries of the beauty and cur
children will be able to remerler t'_:er,. as tl:cy were but onr
grandhQldren will never get to see thcr.:as they were. I feel
ashamed to tt•.ink that these children ;gill miss tkis and will
wonder why we didn't do so:.,et.".ing tc I:eep the beauty for them
to erjop. These mines are net n=cessary tc furnish heat, light
or food tc keep the :world alive. Can't gravel be dug ser.:ewher[ .`
else?
• e de not live in :clcrado ~;*ings. `:e live ir. ]a'_•~er Lake
which is just 20 m9_les Werth cf Celura~o ~Frin~s. '..e dan't
