I am finally writing this letter to you. I think dte task of having to till out your long address on the envelope kept me from starting this. Seriously, I have been trying to get more information. However with the deadline coming up I decided I better do this now. If I remember right you told me that most of the concerns I have about this proposed project you don't (Save any thing to do with. So 1 will just ask a couple of things. The amount of gravel to be extracted per year. In the newspaper the figure mentioned is 70,000 tons per year. Maybe I missed sotttetltittg when reading the permit application, because the amount that might be extracted is left blank. Does that mean even larger amounts could mined causing more iatpact. The application also shows the primary fuh+re land use (post-training) as wild life habitat. Later it mentions about how there can be a modification in the reclamation plan if it's submitted a+td approved for a modification. Would that mean if in the future a change is asked for and then approved, that the post use at this site could become an industrial or a solid waste disposal site, two outer possible uses +ttetttiotted. This greatly concerns ttte because of the weal: land use and zoning laws in Delta County. The county commissioner I talked to expressed the same concern that the lack of zoning could cause future problems, though she was talking about the county as a whole and not just this project
