Colorado Springs is rapidly becoming known as a city <br />of Gravel Pits, Uncovered Gravel Trucks, and Car Washes. <br />PLEASE do not allow any changes in the development of the Snyder Quarry near <br />Williams Canyon. Greed and insensitivity seem to be the only sentiments of <br />the Quarry owners. <br />I am a retired Public Health Nurse and am suffering breathing problems (asthma). <br />I feel the dirt from the quarry is causing much of my distress. I get my <br />aar washed twice a week and wash my car windows every day in order to see out. <br />I am concerned about the lungs of the children who live and play in this aPea. <br />There are several elementary schools in this area. The dust is unbelievable. <br />Since the economy is suffering in this area Tourism needs to be a prime <br />economic source. My friends and relatives who have visited here are shocked <br />at the gravel pits destroying the mountain viewing (scenery). <br />The wildlife are also being shut out. Soon it may be too late for them. <br />The Quarry Owners reel®ation plans are a~,oke. They do not plan to water <br />the seeding. Anyone knows watering is a must in this area plus the beautiful <br />canyons will be gone forever. <br />Again Greed and In sensitivity revailed among the developers in this area. <br />May I prev~i upon you to stop this further destruction and contamination <br />of a ~i area before it is too late. <br />Sincerely, <br />~, <br />M o ie E.
