Division of Reclamation, Safety and Mining <br />1313 Sherman St. Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />8 April 2013 <br />RE: File# M- 2013 -007 <br />For the following reasons we are opposed to the gravel pit and asphalt plant <br />proposed at the end on T Road off of Highway 550 in Montrose County. <br />1) The gravel pit and asphalt plant will devalue the subdivision we live in. We <br />live one mile west of the proposed pit. We worked 40 years to own the <br />home we live in and we should not have to suffer this loss so a land <br />speculator can profit. <br />2) Highway 550 gets a heavy traffic load in the mornings and evenings year <br />round. During the tourist season the traffic is heavy all day. The intersection <br />of T Road - 550 - Tulare is certainly not set up to handle 100 heavy trucks a <br />day coming into T road and 100 trucks a day pulling out onto 550. This <br />intersection will become a major safety hazard and a major bottleneck to <br />traffic flow on Highway 550. <br />3) We do not welcome the health hazard of asphalt fumes and rock dust on a <br />regular basis. <br />Robert G.
