Instead,and more importantly, <br /> those who govern the permitting process should be concerned about preserving the value and integrity of the <br /> larger surrounding area,and thereby respecting the quality of life for the many citizens and wildlife who call this <br /> area home. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M1976007 <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 /> Jefferson <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Golden Mine <br />
