Use on these trails would decrease and be negatively impacted due <br /> to the adverse impacts of a local mine. <br /> Permits given to Zephyr would adversely impact residential property values in the area. <br /> Expansion would degrade scenic values,which are a key component of the local,tourist-dependent economy. <br /> Industrial noise from the mining impacts would result in unacceptable noise pollution to local residents and <br /> recreationists. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M122112211 or C123456789. <br /> M2021046 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> Permit Type <br /> County <br /> Fremont <br /> Enter one county only <br />
