5. Restrictions on hours of operation would need to be set. I believe there are rules that <br />exist already that regulate the operational hours and days for any type of construction <br />project. Noise levels are my main concern and I'm sure my neighbors also. Listening <br />to the pumps running around the clock all last summer at the Fox Knoll 2nd addition <br />project was not enjoyable. <br /> <br />6. What types of equipment would be used during the project. Will the area be <br />burdened with heavy equipment and will this equipment be a burden on the roads <br />leading into and out of the area in both traffic volume, wear and tear, and loose gravel <br />spilled over the roads. And if so who fixes it. <br /> <br />7. Would there be any on sight processing of the soil such as dryers, mixing silos, <br />sifting coveyors, ect... My concern here is simply unsightly processing equipment, <br />added noise, dust or fumes. <br /> <br />8. Wind and water erosion. Clearly with an excavation like this there would be alot of <br />exposed soil and dust from excavating equipment. From what I know the wind blows <br />alot up here. The hot summer winds come out of the south and I got to watch alot of <br />sand blow around last summer. There is population north and northeast of this area. <br />What measures would be taken to prevent the neighborhood from being sandblasted <br />during any windy periods. How will this project effect water run off. <br /> <br />9. How will the city benefit from this mining project and how will it benefit the people in <br />the surrounding area. ! was well aware this area would develop and I welcome <br />progress as long as it can be accomplished tastefully and in the best interest of those <br />of us who have been told Ramsey is a good place to live. <br /> <br />10. My environmental concerns are obvious. However I trust that environmental laws <br />and common sense will prevail over any unneccessary distruction of wetlands and <br />trees. Having moved from a fairly "sterile" suburb in Bloominton, I find it a privlage to <br />live in a growing community that has the ability to balance both it's progress and it's <br />natural resources equally. <br /> <br />When someone else's idea of good taste is hammered into the ground to deep it <br />cannot be removed, the community is stuck with it. I need to be assured that whatever <br />takes place I am not stuck looking at something that "sounded like a good idea at the <br />time", but ended up looking like a big monolith hammered deep into the pretty daisy <br />patch! <br /> <br />Thank you <br /> <br />Barry Childs <br />6040 151st Lane NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />(612) 576-5134 <br /> <br /> <br />
