To: Delta County Planning Department <br />From: Lee Garman, 18176 Ward Creek Road, Cedaredge 81413 <br />Dear Planning Department, <br />It has come to the attention of the residents, in what is known as Colby Canyon, that a <br />surface mining operation is being considered for your approval, in our otherwise quiet <br />and peaceful, residential area. I wish to express my sincere hope that you will not <br />approve this commercial operation in our serene environment. I am also concerned that <br />there could be a safety factor with school busses and also private vehicles interfacing <br />with heavily loaded trucks. We were told, by Benson Brothers, that during peak times. <br />there could be as many as 30 trucks a day coming up and down Ward Creek Road. <br />Residential traffic has increased tremendously in the last years as more and more homes <br />have been built. Noise and dust is another factor that will be imposed on the <br />neighborhood if this application is approved. I moved to this quiet area knowing that any <br />mining operations had been shut down many years ago, supposedly never to be reopened. <br />Please consider the impact to the residents of this community and deny this application. <br />Res ectfully, <br />.r <br />e Garman G~`y,. <br />
