Stupid things you saw on Nextdoor

DUST @ AMAZON construction site
If you have noticed the amount coming off the Amazon construction site and think it is a problem, please contact Tom Lovell with the State Air Pollution Control Division. Tom said no one has complained and therefore Amazon will continue to mitigate with ONE WATER TRUCK. You can reach Tom at 303-692-3204. Call and let him know if you notice blowing dust leaving the Amazon Construction Site. Amazon is responsible for ensuring they mitigate the dust so that it does not leave the property.

Feel Bad for Me Response
1. I live directly due east of the Amazon building site, along the open space in Quail Valley. I am getting lots of dirt on my patio....have to hose down every time before using my patio. Also, I try not to open my west-facing windows because of all the dirt blowing towards us.

Sarcastic Responses
2. Wow! Some people complain just about anything. They're digging their building it's going to kick up dust. Get over yourself.

3. Oh no, dust. That's a problem. Let's do some more fracking and prevent any decent restaurants or entertainment from coming to Thornton, maybe we can get some more muffler shops and industrial sites here. Sorry folks, I hate to go troll, but seriously, what are the priorities here?

Actual Helpful Response
4. There is a fine balance between too little and too much water in dust control. Too much water is actually a larger issue! Too little and there is way too much dust, to the point of a constant cloud over the site during work. (not the case currently)

Too much causes issues with the state storm water management (CDPHD). This is heavily regulated to prevent dirt and other items in the storm water systems. As pointed out above all exits from the site are required to have 'Vehicle tracking pads" (large rocks at the driveways) to remove most of the dirt/mud from vehicles to prevent tracking on to the drive paths and getting into the storm water systems. They also have erosion control plans to prevent the dirt from washing away from the site and again into the storm water system.

Directly east of the Amazon warehouse is open space, then E470, then the Prologis industrial park, then a natural gas compressor station, then more open space, then an electrical station and an Anadarko plant. East of that is pretty much nothing until you get to Watkins. I'm not sure where this person thinks they live that is "directly due east" of the construction.

They are putting in another warehouse in Thornton off of 144th or 136th. It's dusty as hell out there.

My bad. I thought they meant the one in Aurora.

144th and Washington.

The person who wrote the complaint is most likely one of the people who actively campaigned against the nearby fracking site. How is it that people buy a tenth of an acre plot in a large residential community and then come to believe that they can tell anyone else who buys large acreage sites what they can do with their property? If someone wants to be surrounded with open space then buy some land or find something next to a cemetery or a national park.

As for dust, really? It is Colorado. It is summer. We could use some rain. So happy I stopped using Nextdoor.

Those animal posts could have been from here! The "coyote in the road" even looks familiar.

I can imagine what it is like when you have a registered child molester on your street.

They welcome them with open arms and hearts. Because No one needs to be persecuted for a past transgression.

Muslims who kill homosexuals and keep women second class citizens are good. Someone who refuses to bake a wedding cake under the guise of religious beliefs is boycotted and taken to court

I keep reminding myself that these social sites are really a narrow selection of America. These people (mostly) have all the time in the world to go over these posts, correct their neighbors, and make ridiculous posts. I think that says a lot about a person.

I have to believe the avg person doesn't have time for this BS.
