o,`~~~ ~ ~ III IIIIIIIIlIIII Ill <br />~~'~~'~ HENLEY'S KEY SERVICE <br />i 17 EAST BOULDER STREET COLORADO STRINGS, COLORADO <br />January 12, 1978 <br />Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Board <br />1313 Shetman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Gentlemen: <br />I keep seeing in letters and hearing on the radio very passionate <br />pleas for closing the surface mining by Castle Concrete Company <br />on the front range, <br />In checking I find that many of those people are riding on <br />fortunes derived from mineral exploitation and might even be <br />motivated by the fact that [he limestone quarry isn't theirs. <br />As you know, it is a very good source of Limestone, about the <br />only source of such a type of building material in our area and <br />a great many of the homes built in recent years have benefited. <br />The material is there. I think it should be used. The alleged <br />scar on the mountain is not unsightly but rather a beauty mark <br />and point of reference to those viewing the front range. <br />If that is closed down, then in all justice, such things as the <br />Rampart Range Road, Corley Highway, the Broadmoor Ski Area, the <br />Cog Railway and the highway up Ute Pass should be closed because <br />they too have disturbed the natural vegetation. <br />However, rather than close any of these, let us use them to the <br />utmost and when we are through, clean up the mess - if any. <br />Sincerel , <br />C .'?~ L <br />~~-tTomer D.
