As adjacent property owners, the <br />approval of this application for the mining of construction materials (gravel) <br />would adversely effect our quality of life, end have adverse visual aad <br />eaviromnental impacts including an increase in noise level end a decrease in <br />air and possibly water quality. These impacts are not adequately.mitigated. <br />The reclamation plan is inadequate. We hope you seriously consider our <br />objections. <br />The following comments refer to the submitted application dated. June 24, <br />1998: <br />EXHIBIT A, Legsl Description. The location of the gravel pit is <br />improperly described in this exhibit. <br />E?i~TT D, Mining Plan. <br />1. The mining period listed in this paragraph is 10 years, which is in <br />conflict with the period of 3 years listed in the Public Notice. <br />2. The statement regarding the depth of the topsoil is inconsistent. It <br />is also inconsistent on how the topsoil will be used in reclamation. <br />It is inconsistent with the requirement of the Special Use Permit . <br />(SUP) approved by the Routt County Board of Commissioners that <br />reclamation be performed on each•succossive 6 acres. <br />3. The use of the word overburden is inconsistent, sometimes <br />including topsoil and sometimes not. The use of the overburden as <br />stated in this paragraph will be used to backfill previous mine pits. <br />This is inconsistent with the application for the SUP submitted, <br />that states that some of the overburden will be sold. <br />4. The thiclaxess of gravel to be mined stated in this paragraph is <br />upwards of 48 feet which is inconsistent with the SUP application <br />T~d 121053a'S I715 1tlOHWtl315 E2:TT 86.
