The destruction of a part of a unique limestone canyon. <br />2. Another large scar on the front range to add to the other two rapidly <br />growing scars. This one will be seen from down town, the Cave of the <br />Winds, Pikes Peak, and the ~,anitou incline and the Waldo Trail. <br />3. Air and water polluntion. <br />4. Destruction of Wild life habitat <br />5. Soil erosion. <br />6. Possible damage to the Cave of the Winds - tirith the blasting. <br />I ask that you take action to: <br />1. Develop a policy that would protect natural scenic areas, including <br />those that draw tourists, from destructive mines. <br />2. A policy that allows for imput from citizens who would be affected by <br />such mines. <br />3. Develop higher standards for reclaiming mined areas. Luoking at the <br />efforts which have been made to reclaim the quarry above Queens Canyon <br />present regulations are not very effective, or have not been applied. <br />Such standards should limit the finished slope of the land. <br />Sincerely <br />~°~~ ~--- <br />r ~ !` Viz. ~ ~ ^ !~',^, ~~yr <br />,. ~~~~ <br />I~ii'.c-'~ L.AiVO <br />,v.. rJ _. <br />
