Let’s let the Board know how important this is to us, to our community, to our environment. Showing up is, as they say, half of the secret to success. Here’s the Division’s formal language on the hearing…
The Division has received timely written objections to the Application. Therefore, pursuant to Rules 1.4.9(2)(a) and 1.7.4(2), the Division has scheduled the Application for a formal Board hearing for consideration. During the hearing, the Board will consider the Application with objections and may decide to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Application. If you have any questions, you may contact Amy Eschberger at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203, by telephone at 303-866-3567, ext. 8129, or by email at amy.eschberger@state.co.us
To create a new mine in Southwest El Paso County to support new development in North El Paso County is ludicrous. To allow a new mine in an existing neighborhood is also ridiculous. There are plenty of spots north of the Springs, were this growth is occurring, that should be considered. FYI, the State owns some mineral rights up there too, that would benefit the schools.
I agree, the Pikeview scar is ugly, just as is the 20+ year of reclamation of the Queens scar. However, it has not prevented growth to my home town, therefore the expansion of the pikeview mine would be more logical. To create a new mine, in an area that folks moved to enjoy the serenity of Colorado, should not happen.
WE have to think of sustainability. If rocks are what they want, and transportation is not a big deal, then there is plenty of used
inventory around Cripple Creek.
