Sited away from populous areas, the noise and pollution they generated were <br />scarcely noticed. Now, however, mining operations are increasingly where we live and <br />breathe and raise our children. <br /> <br />As population grows, so does the need for gravel. Over time many mining <br />quarries have been depleted. That's why Delta Sand and Gravel wants to expand mining <br />in Santa Clara <br /> <br />We need gravel. But we don't need to extract it in our backyards. Let's give Delta <br />and other companies financial incentives to mine in more remote areas. Yes, the gravel <br />will cost rnor~ . But is this not a wise investment for a healthy community? Lands <br />currently being mined as well as those proposed (ie Wildish) should be acquired and <br />turned into parks and open spaces. <br /> <br />Svevo Brooks <br /> <br />81900 Mahr Lane <br />Creswell, Oregon 97426 <br />
