Tech, iW Revision to the New Horizon Mine Permit No. C-81-009. This Technical <br />Revision is to Section 2.05.4(2)e. This is by Western Fads-Colorado (VVFQ in Nucla, CO. <br />Dear Sirs: <br />I am writing this letter as a foonai pwb.* to the application bmp Technical Revision to the <br />Neyui?Horizahs NYrntc Permit Na. G81-1108. Alsq the resit of their e!xLipermt. This <br />Technical Revision cove, the change in Success Standar& in Em iamW Pasture fiom a <br />standard to a reference areaa, <br />I have lived in Nucla most of my life and I am a landmoer in tlw ova affected by WFC. I am <br />f mlim with this area, the people who are la ndoumm , and ft agdo thuml uses of the land <br />in the area. Agriculture has been a main"y of thin area swe Nucla b :e a town and was, <br />in Ihct, the reason the town of Nucla evolved in 1906. Imd in this area has been and sell is <br />utilized for craps such as alfalfa, corn, wheat, and ooau6 etc. Some o£ land is used as irrigatcd <br />pesture3and, but this-is usually the iniexior land that is'not as well abed far crop production. <br />Even crop land, once harvested , is pastured. This is not the primary use of the acreage and <br />should not be how it is classified. <br />This is one reason for my protest.. The Morgan property which is. the property, <br />in question, is irrigated-fimmland. After inspection of the mvisiot, this <br />property along with Beasons, Lloyds, Johnsana, etc. are all to be classified <br />as DRYL.AND. This is unfit of. Just prior to the take over of the Sunshine <br />Corr of Morgans, We purchased 200 too of pr me Alfalfa Hay. The Morgarhs <br />have atways planted Aliiaifa and the Sunshir a Place was some of the prettiest <br />fields in the country. These rands have always beers inipwd crop lands with <br />very high yields. <br />I am objecting and would like to see all of this land in qumtkm put back thte <br />Wary it was or better prior to the leases. Feed is not overly plentiful in Nucla <br />and all of these prone fannlands should be put back as such. Dry land is <br />out of the question and there is wooer available to put these lands back. <br />Satre afthe Morgmn, property being mined has some of the best uVdwil <br />here. <br />Thank YOU, <br />5 <br />U?', <br />
