This spring is the primary clean water source for our <br />two homes, for Donna Hall's home, and for the Coupe family's home just east of <br />our property. I don't have a problem with expansion of the Wager Pit unless it <br />affects our legally protected water source. It would cause irreversible harm to <br />our lives, not to mention property value loss, if the quality or volume of water <br />from the spring is affected by the rock pit. <br />Please make sure that adequate precautions, and follow up procedures are <br />taken if allowing the expansion, to protect our spring, our only source of clean <br />water. Anything buried or spilled in the drainage could affect the water quality. <br />And, seismic type events including big equipment and blasting could affect the <br />volume. <br />In addition, please let it be known that many close calls have happened in <br />front of our property (both directions on highway 394) with big trucks and trailers <br />near the entrance of our property. If trucks follow the posted speed limit there <br />are no problems, however we are just far enough away from the exit of all the <br />area pits, for them to get up a good head of steam, and many trucks exceed the <br />speed limit, some drastically, putting cars exiting from our property in extreme <br />danger. <br />Thank You for seriously looking at our issues. <br />Virgil King Jr. <br />4-25-2017 <br />
