Fire <br /> Our climate also places Canon City and the surrounding area at great risk for wildfires.Zephyr has presented <br /> no fire protection plan with its current application.They've only stated that the fire mitigation efforts will be <br /> "sufficient." <br /> When so many lives and livelihoods are on the line,that's just not good enough. It's especially troubling when <br /> you consider that Zephyr plans to hold"approximately 13,000 pounds of explosives on site for up to a week of <br /> blasting activity"and replenish that supply weekly. <br /> In an area ripe for wildfire, it's not worth the risk—especially when hundreds of homes are located just downhill <br /> to the south. <br /> Please do not approve this mining permit application. It is a short-sided, money-grabbing opportunity for a <br /> foreign company that intends to exploit our community and stick us with decades of financial responsibility while <br /> also placing our local economy and environment in great danger. <br /> It's not worth it.What Canon City has to offer is much more precious than gold. Say no to the Zephyr mine. <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 /> Site Name <br /> Dawson Gold Mine <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Zephyr Gold USA Ltd <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> Yes • No <br /> By submitting this form electronically you agree to receive any/all follow up correspondence from the Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining,and Safety at the email address you have provided. <br />
