". q,iiQ J .. <br />:'_:r~'~s December 17, 1977 <br /> <br />Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Board <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Sirs: <br />It has come to my attention that the Castle Concrete <br />Company here in Colorado Springs is planning a major <br />expansion of their limestone quarries. I think it would <br />be a tradgedy if they are allowed to expand. The infamous <br />"scar on the mountain" is certainly proof they are a <br />very poor corporate citizen of the Colorado Springs area. <br />I have worked with mining companies in the past and <br />find the Castle Concrete Company has one of the worst <br />records concerning preservation of the environment. I <br />am certainly in favor of mining and realize we desperately <br />need mineral resources, however, in this case I am <br />opposedto any further mining. Although the Castle Concrete <br />Company talks a great deal about reclamation their record <br />is terrible. Of all the companies I have worked with they <br />are by far the most irresponsible. <br />I hope the Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Board puts <br />a stop to their plans to further destroy our environment. <br />Sincerely, <br />,~ T~ ~w~~ <br />Robert P.
