Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> I strongly object to the expansion of the ACME Mine on environmental grounds and concern for public health. <br /> Mining is a severely detrimental practice to the environment, no matter what is being mined.Such an expansion <br /> would destroy a massive swath of our immensely valuable--and at-risk--ecosystem,as well as polluting our <br /> air,water,and other resources. Extractive practices like mining benefit only large corporations for limited time <br /> periods,and any local jobs they create are temporary-they're gone as soon as the mine dries up.The ACME <br /> Mine expansion does not provide my community with any long-term economic growth. It can ONLY hurt us in <br /> the long run. I know that I speak for the vast majority of Golden and surrounding area residents when I say that <br /> we,as a community,value our beautiful land more than the opportunity to provide the world with mined <br /> resources for a few short years.A thriving environment is so much more valuable than the scenery it provides; it <br /> benefits our community's health by drawing us outside to exercise,cleaning our air,and filtering our delicious <br /> drinking water; it's a source of inspiration for our souls,teaching us to be kind and fostering a love for one <br /> another--qualities which, by the way, have very tangible economic impacts;it makes our lives meaningful and <br /> valuable,and it makes us who we are. Loving and protecting our beautiful natural surroundings is what our <br /> community's identity is built on. It's time to ask ourselves an important question: In 50 years,what will this land <br /> be for our community?A source of health,joy,and life--or a wasteland? <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 /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />
