We have discussed the matter with all of the etTecled properly owners that will be negatively elI'ected by the proposed expansion. They have agreed to write letters of complaint to ~Ir. Carl Mount. I want to complain that bor. Southwick is working in his quarry on any day of week and at any time of the day,. The law requires that his over burden shall not come with 50' of adjacent properties to his quarty. Sense Mr. Southwick does not follow the rules conceming the management of his over burden, the proposed expansion will negatively effeM my property which adjacent to his quan}'. )\1r. Oakely who lives on County Road 29 has complained several times to the county conceming Mr. Southwiek's inability to properly manage his over burden of where Mr. Oakley lives. ht tact, Mr. Southwiek's miss management has had a negative ctTect on a small creek called 1\lissouri C'reck in that the over burden has come close to damming the creek. From what hir. Southwick indicated to both myself and to Mr. Oakley, that he intends to expand the quarry such that is will almost encompass [he entire 2R acres of which he owns. The stipulation of the quanq at the time that my father sold the propem' to Mr. Southwick was that the quam' was not to increase in size. I cannot understand the logic that rewards someone for violating the ndes by awarding him a larger area by which he can quarry. If the State of Colorado approves the proposed expansion of Mr. Southwiek's Quarry. I will not only be ablz to see the effects, but my health will bz degraded due to the diseased that I have. I am attaching a letter from my doctor stating gym- condition and basically saying that open pit mining will have a negative effect on my health. I am present{y on a Social Security Disability because oftlu illness and had to retire from Hewlett Packard because of bad health. When this expansion was made know to me t ryas told that we, as adjaxnt property owners, were given little to no time to register our concerns and complaints. Sense klr. Southwick had broken the lacy, it would be yen' appropriate to insist that Ddr. Southwick go through the estahlished procedure for obtaining the expansion to his quam'. Again, 1 do not wtderstand how someone echo lutowingh' breaks the law can be rewarded by giving an expansion to ltis present quarry site. It appears that the present Mining Laws of the State of Colorado have no real effect. Sincerely yours, ,iim Freeman see attachment;
