Cary & Elaine Toepke <br />RE: SerFer Pit Mining Application Comment Response <br />July 3, 2008 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />8. The destruction of roads by heavy equipment traffic; <br />It is unclear what is meant by the phrase "destruction of roads by heavy <br />equipment traffic." A traffic study was performed for the proposed mining <br />operation by Delich Associates. Since there will not be a significant increase in <br />Connell Resources, Inc. truck traffic, the road destruction should be no more than <br />current traffic provides. The only equipment on the roads, including trucks and <br />other mining equipment, will be within the weight limits of the county roads. <br />9. The extended hours of operation; <br />The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00 am - 5:30 pm <br />and Saturday 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. No work will be performed on Sundays, <br />holidays, or nights. These hours will provide for the operations of the SerFer pit <br />to be completed in a timely and efficient manner. <br />10. The prairie dog control that will be necessary as prairie dogs currently living on the site <br />are forced off the site by the mining operations and begin taking up residences in <br />adjoining landowners' properties; <br />Although it is not expected that the existing wildlife currently located on the <br />projected site will relocate south of the Cache La Poudre River, the migration of <br />the wildlife to other areas cannot be restricted or controlled by Connell Resources, <br />Inc. It is unclear however, whether the wildlife of this area existed on the current <br />site before the development of surrounding areas, including the River West <br />development, or if the wildlife in this area were forced out of those areas as well. <br />Furthermore, the land directly west of the proposed pit, which will remain <br />undisturbed, is seen as a much more likely place for the wildlife of the proposed <br />site to relocate since it is does not require crossing the Poudre River. <br />11. The adverse impact that the operation will have on the public bike path near the site and <br />the resultant danger to children living in the immediate area who regularly use the bike <br />path; <br />It is unclear how the operation will adversely impact the public bike path. <br />However, Connell Resources, Inc. will adhere to the Colorado Department of <br />Public Health and Environment (CDPH&E) permitting requirements. This <br />includes submitting an application for a Construction Permit and Air Pollutant <br />Emission Notices (APEN). The intent of the CDPH&E and the APEN are to limit <br />pollution in all forms and will restrict the SerFer Pit from endangering users of the <br />new Poudre Trail System.
