<br />Law Office Of <br />CHARLES E. BUTLER <br />512 N. Main St., Ste. H <br />Pueblo, CO 81003 <br />RECEIVED <br />MAY 0 1 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Phone. (719)544-0044 <br />a <br />April 30, 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80202 <br />Re: Reclamation Permit application submitted by the Rio Grande Portland Cement Company. <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />I am a resident of Pueblo County and am writing to comment on the Reclamation Permit <br />application submitted by the Rio Grande Portland Cement Company. <br />I hereby request that I be allowed to make a presentation opposing the issuance of a permit at the <br />public hearing and any other hearings to be scheduled on the permit application submitted by the <br />Rio Grande Portland Cement Company. <br />I also request that there be a 120 day period to make comments befoe the public hearing is set, <br />since this is a matter involving a substantial excavation over many lifetimes creating major <br />changes to the landscape using strip mining with substantial amount of deep ground explosions. <br />No one can readily and exactly determine the final damage to the environs and the nearby living <br />populations. <br />Further, further request that any decision not to hold the the public hearing in Pueblo be <br />reconsidered. Pueblo is where the most of the witnesses reside and the place closest and will be <br />subjected to most of impact of what is being proposed.. <br />Some of the the issues I desire to address are: the surface and ground water usage and <br />contamination and the potential effects of the air pollution on the public health and environment. <br />Sincerely, <br />6"?
