CO 80203 <br />Re: Opf4ition to the Proposed Uncompahgre Pit (Permit File No. M- 2013 -007) <br />Dear Sir: <br />My biggest objection to the proposed Uncompahgre Pit (File # M- 2013 -007) is the destruction of the <br />natural landscape, which will eventually be visible from Highway 550. This road is the main artery <br />running south out of Montrose, through the greenbelt of the valleā–  . <br />Years ago the first business that travelers and tourists would see on the south side of Montrose was a car <br />parts junk yard - not a good first impression. Gravel pits do not make a good first impression either, <br />particularly one of this size. <br />For the people who live along T Road this proposed gravel pit is their worst nightmare. Big trucks up and <br />down the road all day long, their lives will never be the same. <br />With all the current gravel pits in the immediate area, we do not need another one. We certainly do not <br />need a pit of this size, and defmitely not in the midst of the most scenic and most visible land in the <br />valley. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />4 ichard Schulz <br />21115 Uncompahgre Road <br />Montrose, CO 81403 <br />970.485.3802 <br />RECEIVED <br />'APR 242013 <br />Division of Rocltimation, <br />Mining & Safety <br />
