Brown <br />Mior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division oj'Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Subject: Western Fuels-Colorado, LLC-Permit Revision 6 <br />Dear Sandra, <br />My name is Joe Morgan and I have been an employee at Western Fuels New <br />Horizon Mine, for S %2 years. I have lived in the Nucla/Norwood area for 35 <br />years(all my life). My wife's name is Jessica and she is also a lifetime <br />resident. We have three children Shelton is 10 years old, Faith is 8 years <br />old, and Landon is S years old. They attend the local schools. We both have <br />our families here. My father was born and raised here. He is now 78. My <br />wife's mother and'siblings grew up and graduated here. We love where we <br />live and don't want to have to leave the area. We depend on this job and <br />benefits to be able to stay here. <br />I have worked hard all my life. I farmed our local farm with my Father <br />when I was younger. I worked construction and mining for 16 years. I feel <br />we do an excellent job with our (Western Fuels) reclamation. The land is <br />better now than it has ever been. It is farmable and supports a lot of <br />wildlife now. I feel Western Fuels has enriched the land that it has <br />reclaimed for 17 years. <br />We would greatly urge the approval of PR06 so that we can continue mining <br />and reclaiming the Morgan prime farmland and other properties that we <br />have to mine. They are all protected and will return better than they were. <br />Just like they have for 17 years. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joe, Jessica, Shelton, Faith and Landon Morgan <br />i <br />UOAAW"Ib <br />Cf43Aj ID_A?r? <br />CO % <br />Lo,-?dD?
