Required reclamation costs are high enough, but any <br /> accidental discharge or other mishap would likely be far in excess of the company's assets. <br /> I also feel the impacts on recreation in the vicinity of the mine due to increased traffic,visual disruption(the <br /> mine is prominently visible from at least one popular trail)and blasting would outweigh any economic benefit to <br /> the area with any profits destined to head north where the firm is based. <br /> I urge you to reject the Dawson Gold Mine permit application. <br /> Tom Lambrecht <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 />
