c� <br /> REcav t) <br /> April 12, 2021 DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br /> p MININGAND WM <br /> Dear Reclamation Board Members; <br /> Throughout my adult life, (40 years), I have been visiting Summit County to hike, fish& ski <br /> with family and friends. I moved to Breckenridge 10 years ago and admire the landscape <br /> improvements that Peak Materials has done following their past gravel excavations and <br /> community recreation areas they have created. I believe there have been three or more. On this <br /> particular proposed site, (File# M2020041), they are also donating land usage to the Blue River <br /> Horse Center for their non-profit horse rescue, gentling & community educational programs for <br /> adults and children. Last year we had over 100 classes to educate and train community <br /> members about emotional & spiritual connectedness, leadership qualities & mental-health <br /> anxieties. Please go to their website: www.Blue River Horse Centenorg and read all the <br /> testimonies, benefiting those community volunteers &participants.) <br /> In the recent Summit Daily "Opinion" article on April 9th the author does not take into <br /> account the other properties that Peak Materials has developed and improved drastically after <br /> their gravel operations, only to leave those areas as future community sites, lakes, dog parks and <br /> places for community recreation. <br /> The so-called facts that this article presents are questionable as follows; <br /> "Water"; Peak will meet all environmental statues with water recirculation and protection of our <br /> oil shale as they have in the past. <br /> "Fishing" the gold that was mined in the past without our current environmental protections for <br /> sure damaged our Blue River fish. Since Peak Materials will be compliant with <br /> environmental safety regulations as they have done on earlier projects, the assumption that the <br /> fishing will be harmed will not happen. <br /> "Elk & Deer"; the proposed. site is right on Highway 9 and animal life has already moved their <br /> migration patterns long ago <br /> "Bike Trail" ; there is not a bike trail close to the proposed site other than right on Highway 9. <br /> Please take my letter into consideration and pass this project. <br /> Sincerely, Lisa Robelen <br />
