I called and got answering machine at your office and then I called and left a message on your cell phone but my
concerns or call was not listed in your letter. I have concerns about the old shafts caving in if they pump off the
water, because the old mine shafts run under a large portion of the main part of New London. Will it dry up the
creek that runs behind my property? This is a spring head fed out of the old gold mine and comes up just past the
end of east Depot Street. There is an old vent shaft that also comes up there but was caved in when mine closed.
Also where will the water go if they plan to pump out that many gallons per day? Also when Mr Shad opened it
before it was under a conditional use permit from the town. I believe if you can get a copy of it you will find out he
didn't do what he said he would do. It was suppose to be put back to as close to the way it was as when he started.
There was 1000's of loads of dirt sold out of there. You can contact BRS in Richfield NC and they probably have
records of it because they hauled most of it.
I also believe they are located to close to railroad tracks to do any blasting. I believe there should be a public hearing
and a lot more research done before you move forward with this
Thanks
