It is trot in the best interest of [he citizens of Larimer County to allow <br />expansion of the Slab Canyon Quarry before reclamation of already mined areas has <br />taken place. <br />2. The proposed reclamation plan -- construction of tree pads, creation of rock <br />pile fine traps, and preservation of any remaining highwalls - - while inltovative, is <br />untested and unproven. These techniques should be demonstrated as successful in <br />the Slab Canyon environment before the mining area is expanded. <br />3. The proposed reclamation plan does not appear to re-establish vegetation <br />and other habitat characteristics as naturally occur in the Slab Canyon e~TVironment. <br />Replacing one habitat with another will effectively displace current wildlife <br />populations from the area forever. <br />4. Impacts upon County roads must be addressed. <br />Please enter our objections into the record for the public comment period ending on <br />July 13, 1993. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br />v ~d t ASS'""' ~ <br />Chai <br />District I <br />~V~C/~ <br />Janet Duvall <br />Commissioner <br />District II <br /> <br />Jim Disney <br />Commissioner <br />District III <br />jd <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />Courtlyn W.
