Re: Peter Kiewit Sons Application for Concrete Batch Plant to be
Located in Glenwood Canyon, Garfield County
Dear Cynthia:
A permit application has been received by the Air Pollution Control Division
for the above project. When the permit has been issued, a copy will be sent
to you for your files.
Concrete batch plants are not of concern from an air quality standpoint as
long as appropriate control measures are taken. It is anticipated that
the air pollution permit will insure this control.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sinc1y,
Scott J. MSller
