The residents of the <br />community requested to have a meeting with the owners of Carter Lake <br />Enterprises, Phil and Matt Sprague. Engineers of Landmark Engineering of <br />Loveland, Colorado were there to represent the quarry owners.

Residents depending on irrigation water now have no way of <br />accessing the water. These are but a few of the concerns voiced. <br />Landmark Engineering representatives rebuffed the majority of questions, <br />leaving the community with little hope.
