Raptor Materials, LLC is the permittee, and Raptor Materials, LLC is the landowner of the proposed aggregate mining operation. The site contains a group of agricultural fields, an oil production facility, aggregate material processing, asphalt&concrete recycling,and an asphalt plant."(11)The area described is a completely different location not owned by Raptor Materials and several miles to the west. A mining plan overview states that"the proposed mining plan includes dry mine gravel extraction from four mining pods within the 236.1 acre affected area". (112)All maps submitted include only 3 mining pods.The application for the P123 Mine states that there are"an abundance of gravel pits" (128) in the area, and "surroundings land uses include agricultural, open space, mining and industrial". (21) However,the existing community only consists of agricultural production, grazing, residential homes, a community park, state wildlife land, and is zoned agricultural. This is a misrepresentation of important material facts(6), signed by Robert Haun VP of Operations, Raptor Materials LLC. (8) The location of the property for this proposed mine is directly adjacent to Evans Riverside Park,which"features a 7-acre fishing lake, over two mites of scenic trails, fishing docks,four ball fields (two lighted and two unlighted), a spacious playground area, a picnic pavilion, basketball court, pickleball court, restrooms, and many acres of undeveloped open space along the South Platte River."This location is also adjacent to several family farms, grazing lands, as well as Brower State Wildlife Area.
