~~-~ Urt 93 - 08 0 999 Dear Sirs, December 21, 1993 I received a certified letter concerning clay mining at the Calhan Clay Pit in Section 8 ~ 9 by Summit Brick S, Tile. I own property in section 16 which does border the proposed area according to what information I was able to glean from the County Clerk ~ Recorder's office. I personally do not want them or anyone else mining on my property. There is no mention of any compensation. My property is a choice piece of pasture land. If this permit is issued, the Summit Brick S Tile Co. may perhaps in years to come want to destroy my land by digging. The permit they're asking for is for the next 47 years. That's beyond my expected lifetime. If this permit is granted does that tie my hand that I'm not able to use or rent my pasture land? What compensation is there for them digging on my property? Will they pay the taxes on said property or just destroy it and I have to pay? What if I or a future heir/owner should desire to build perhaps, a house on said property; what then; would the house be levelled? As for reclamation, once the land is destroyed it's never back to it's original God-created state. I~ve seen the other Calhan Clay Pit south of our property. There is ro reclamation, no trees, no grass, no shrubs, no pasture, just a big clay pit; an eye-sore such as the "scar on the mountain" near Colorado Springs, actually worse. Please do not allow Summit Brick ~ Tile or any other company to dig clay on ~ property. Clay is part of the soil not a mineral. Thanks for your consideration in this matter. Please reply soon. ~-~~ •l S~ fa ~3~~1t ~tisw~ g iZlz~j lR s . - ~:.~ .. _._~ % IJ ~.~ Sincerely, ~~~ ~~~ Ruth Morehead 2623 E. Dale St. Colo. Springs, Colo. 80909 Ph: (719) 63,x-5c)/{~
