• iii iiiiiiiiiiiu iii ~ <br />March 25, 1999 <br />ECEIVED <br />Division of Mineral and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St <br />Denver, Co. 80203 <br />fWAR ~9 1999 <br />rmnerals 8 Geology <br />To whom it may concern: <br />I am writing this letter to express my concern with All Rite Paving & Redi Mix's application for a mining <br />permit at Sec.1 & 36, Township 23 & 24 S, Range 55 W, 6th Prime Meridian, also known as 30000 hwy <br />194 La Junta, Co. 81050. I live and farm in the area neat[ to this proposed site. This is and has always been <br />solely an agricultural area. Some of my concerns are, the site is right next to a river, and sewer lagoon . <br />Some of their previous sites have had leaking fuel and they have dumped their scrapped asphalt chunks in <br />arroyos. The water table is currently so high 1 am concerned the digging will cause the water to spread out <br />and ruin surrounding farmland even more. [ am worried the sand piles and dirt [hey wilt mine, wilt blow and <br />effect our livestock's health as well as other livestock in the area, increasing respiratory problems. lam <br />worried about the stagnant pools of water that may form, causing increased mosquito breeding grounds. <br />This mine site will lower our property values and make it harder to get ott and off the road with our farm <br />equipment. The Otero County Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny their request to have a sand <br />and gravel operation on this site. They felt this request would not incorporate reasonable means to create an <br />environment harmonious with that of surrounding properties and that the request will adversely affect [he <br />public health safety and welfare. <br />Sincerely, <br />n/~g,~v <br />Kathy Cranson <br />30943 Hwy 194 <br />La Junta,Co 81050 <br />
