Does not belong in Laporte. Would be destructive to the community, who obviously do not want it here.

No to the pit... It's not good for our community, for the children who attend school nearby, the residents of this area or the wildlife and natural beauty of the LaPorte.

The public deserves to be listened to in this proposal. Businesses cannot keep winning out over entire communities of individuals.

A gravel operation this size should not be permitted so close to the town of LaPorte,CO. It should not be accessible from Larimer County Road 54G as this is the main east west connection to LaPorte, where truck traffic should not be encouraged. With 2 schools nearby, that is a major school bus route.
The noise and air pollution created by such a plant would spoil the quiet village nature of the town.
There already is a large gravel operation on Taft Hill Road south of this proposed site. The sound of that plant is disturbing for nearly a mile radius.
This plant would NOT have benefit for LaPorte residents, just destruction of its quality of life

This will be a real scar to our landscape, hazardous, and noisy. There is no guarantee that the gravel mined will be available to small local consumers.

I just moved to Laporte 3 days ago for what I believe are the same reasons why everyone else chooses to live here. To live in small town America where we live in harmony as a community with nature. It is extremely upsetting to hear that there will be a gravel pit within 1/2 mile of the town center.
If you are a politician in the area who has approved the Loveland Ready Mix company to come here and destroy our land, you should be very ashamed of yourself. There will be damage, there will be destruction, there will be pollution. There is no way around that when you are grinding up the earth for 10+ years.
All in favor of this, it sounds like you need to do some soul searching, because this is absolutely disgusting. If it was your land, and your little slice of paradise, there is no way in hell you'd allow this.

As a new resident to LaPorte I am 100% opposed to this! With all the information I have read and just using common sense this would not be good for our community. Putting community members lives at risk for a corporation is disgusting. KEEP IT OUT OF LAPORTE!!!

I am firmly opposed to the placement of a new gravel operation in Laporte because of its adverse health and environmental effects. These effects cannot be sufficiently mitigated by the gravel company and will dramatically undermine the safety and quality of life of those who live, work, and go to school in Laporte. Gravel operations will also severely undermine the safety of those who travel in and through Laporte, especially threatening the safety of the large numbers of recreational cyclists who ride in the area, pay taxes to maintain local roads, and support Laporte's local businesses through their purchases.

. I am a degreed mechanical engineer. I have the credentials of engineering analysis and I disapprove strongly. I wish for anyone to prove me wrong with solid engineering evidence that this will not harm the surrounding community. I have a background of engineering emissions research with ecocar at csu engines and energy conversion lab. I am willing to back my disapproval with colorado state university research findings.
