Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> Over the past several years I have carefully studied the CJK's various attempts to re-open the Mill operation. It <br /> is abundantly clear that CJK's claims of environmental stewardship and economic development are merely a <br /> smoke screen for potential environmental degradation that would threaten the outdoor recreation economy <br /> upon which Lake County now significantly depends.Without equivocation I strongly oppose to this application <br /> for many reasons including: 1)There is no strong evidence base that CJK is skilled at refining minerals using <br /> wet cyanide leaching;2)There are no assurances that the high risks of the use of cyanide will be mitigated by <br /> CJK's less than stellar performance thus far;3)CJK has not developed a method to guarantee no leakage of <br /> cyanide&other chemicals from the proposed method of storage of waste materials;4)There is still a high risk <br /> of leakage into water table of cyanide/other chemicals into groundwater---affecting wells,fishing/rafting <br /> industry, irrigation water.5)Many of us in Lake County are fearful of a potential environmental catastrophe from <br /> leakage of toxic substances resulting in extreme adverse effects to County residents,visitors and the <br /> recreational economies of Lake County, neighboring counties and the State of Colorado.At a time of severe <br /> droughts and water uncertainties,this is precisely NOT the time to experiment with a high risk operation with a <br /> very low ROI for the county and its citizens. For the sake of the future well-being of Colorado and its citizens, I <br /> urge you to reject this application. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M1990057 <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 /> Lake <br /> Enter one county only <br />
