Keffelew, Berhan <br />From: Carl Poch [cpoch99 @yahoo.com] <br />Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 7:41 AM <br />To: Keffelew, Berhan <br />Subject: Re: <br />The Double Eagle room is nice, I've been to many events there and it would be fine. <br />Recognizing that your say is strictly technical, something has come up that makes me think <br />you might want to investigate this. <br />The Heritage Center is above many, many mine shafts each 100 feet below the other. <br />The mine will be blasting at the bottom of an 800 foot deep pit very near the heritage <br />center. No study has been done to see if there is a potential to collapse any of these <br />tunnels plunging the Heritage Center down. The mine environmentalist has stated that <br />while no studies have been done, monitors will be placed at the Heritage Center to see <br />what happens as they move closer. <br />What if the monitor shows that the building is in fact collapsing? It will be too late. <br />In a similar vein, tourists go down 1000 feet at the Molly Kathleen mine next to the <br />Heritage Center. While monitors may be placed at the Molly Kathleen, as blasting draws <br />nearer, it may be to late and an "OOPS" isn't going to save the several groups of people <br />trapped in this mine. <br />Consider this and I certainly think a delay in approval while studies of the potential <br />effect on these two facilities would be appropriate. <br />Carl <br />Carl Poch <br />611 E.
