This expansion would <br />' include take the current production and make it 8 million ions per <br />year. !n addition this expansion will provide over 250 jobs averaging <br />$60,000 per year in salary and benefits. <br />CAM has already purchased an abandoned bar and frailer park <br />in Loma and is renovating it. Such activities like this will increase <br />property values and will enhance the communities on the western <br />part of Mesa County. <br />1 hope this project moves forward and helps the 8LM in doing their <br />part ro supply our nation with electricity, and to keep power plants <br />around the country supplied with the low~ulfur coal they need to <br />continue providing power for our national energy grid. <br />Thank you for all the hard work you agency is doing to ensure our <br />economy remains diverse and our electric supply remains reliable. <br />Sin re <br />~~ <br />Thea Schmidt <br />Grand Junction, CO <br /> <br />Cj'rxa.~r6f ,Je-f'.
