999 <br /> ,T 2 1978 <br /> September 14, 1978 <br /> Alined Land Reclamation Board <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Rare 723 <br /> Denver, Colorado 80631 <br /> Dear Sirs: <br /> It has cane to my attention that Bestway Paving Company has applied <br /> for a mining permit. Naturally, my first question was concerned <br /> with the safety and welfare of the neighborhood, of which I am a <br /> part. The plan which has been outlined is certainly not sufficient <br /> to insure that we will not be subjected to high air contaminates, <br /> increased noise levels, etc. <br /> I also want to direct your attention to the enclosed publicity <br /> from the march 30, 1978 Greeley Tribune, and then to page 27 of <br /> the reclamation plan concerning compacting during backfilling. <br /> I do not believe that their mining plan calls for compacting, and <br /> it would seen that that would certainly be necessary if they <br /> intend to put a housing development in that area. However, perhaps <br /> the plans have been changed since the county meetings, but if so, <br /> has the county been so informed? <br /> The same article which carried the above mentioned picture says, <br /> "Hill said that dust and noise studies have already been completed <br /> at the site and that the company has taken measures around the <br /> boundaries of the site to assure residents the area won't be <br /> affected by the mining operation." I would like to know why, then, <br /> on page 22 of the mining plan it is stated, "No detailed noise <br /> studies have been made on or around the site. . ." <br /> All of the above make me believe that a very, very careful look must <br /> be taken by your group before issuing a permit which could so <br /> drastically affect the health, safety and welfare of Colorado resi- <br /> dents. <br /> Sincerely, (n�( <br /> nirs, James Peter4 <br /> 4l 36th Avenue (J <br /> Greeley, Colorado <br />
