Article in the paper this AM

Boulder County is trying to relocate a Waste Transfer Site to that location

The guy in charge appears to be Mike Johnson

The article says they want to get the waste site off federal land

So they are going to sell the shooting site

Why not sell the current site????????????????

isn't it National Forest ?

they can "sell" it ?


:?:

[Merl]

sure they can sell it. it is the Govt's land after all. we're just allowed to use it.

So the plan is to herd everyone into LHC then close it?

[Obiwan]

Yeah they can sell it

But they are trying to sell them "extra" land in order to stay where they are

And they call it a dump ...just to help make it sound reasonable

When in fact it is no more a dump than any trash can is.

They have dumpsters (and dumping stations) in National Parks

There are lots of options including extending the lease

But they wouldn;t get rid of a shooting area

Things that make you go HMMMMM

I dont think that it is the same place....

Quote from the paper:
"Instead, the county is considering moving the site to a former landfill near Raymond that is now a popular shooting range."

The "shooting range" at hwy 7 & 72 is not an old landfill. Perhaps it is just close to there?

I was thinking the same thing. When we were up there on Saturday I could hear some shooting nearby.

there is only one "shooting range" at 7 & 72

there is only be one spot near 7&72 under consideration unless they want to either bulldoze trees & a flat area or put it right beside the road. I doubt wither of those are options.


(FYI, existing transfer site)
