Derr; <br />We have recently received your authorization request letter through J& T Consulting, Inc. <br />Based on previous conversations with both Doug and Darwin concerning their mining operation, we <br />would be glad to sign our authorization. However, as our experience has shown with previous <br />mining operations in the area, it is best to get as much as possible in writing early on. <br />My 87 year old Mother lives in her own apartment on our property, and breathing clean air <br />is an issue for her and for all of us. What is your intention so far as dust abatement is concerned, <br />both during the mining as well as dust created by transport along the road? What safeguards will <br />be in place regarding noise levels during your operation? We have had conversations about <br />upkeep of the Balsam Ave roadway-perhaps those conditions might be put into writing? Will the <br />noise, dust and danger be limited to five days a week? <br />Short of flagging someone down on our road, we have no telephone numbers to reach any <br />responsible party regarding our concerns. <br />My wife, Diana; my mother, Alice Rand, and I are most appreciative of your attention to* <br />these matters. We are really not trying to make your life more difficult or expensive; we are only <br />trying to keep from being run over by the gravel mining operations in the area. When we moved <br />here in 1976, Balsam Ave. was the quietest, most pristine country road imaginable-it has been <br />most difficult to adjust to being the neighbor of a gravel factory and to deal with the constant noise, <br />dust and danger posed by these huge trucks whizzing by for as much as fourteen hours a day, <br />sometimes six days a week. <br />'Again, if these issues could be addressed, we would be glad (though a little reluctant) to <br />sign the authorization. <br />Thank you, <br />Jim r <br />d/b/a Taylor Construction <br />(970) 366-2869 <br />665 Balsam Ave. <br />Greeley, CO 80631 <br />cc: State of Colorado, Dept. of Mining and Geology, Attn: Eric Scott, 1313 Sherman St., Rm 215, <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />cc: Todd Taylor, Attorney at Law 710 11t" Ave., Suite 300, Greeley, CO 80631
