Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> We object to the proposed operation of the Leadville Mill from a variety of aspects too lengthy to enumerate <br /> here.The use of cyanide in processing is most troubling so close to people's homes and residential wells with <br /> no guarantee of cyanide leakage impossibility.We are worried about cyanide and other toxins leaking into our <br /> water table. It is especially concerning at a time when the frequency and severity of toxic releases is increasing <br /> exponentially nationwide.The dry-stack method is no less concerning as toxic materials may then become <br /> airborne and inhaled and absorbed certainly by those of us who live nearby,and probably by many thousands <br /> downwind.We worry about the detrimental effects the operation of the mill will have on the wide variety of <br /> wildlife that live around us,on communities downstream on the Arkansas River,fishing, boating and other <br /> tourist-related activities that are the life-blood of our area.Additionally,the disturbance of and transport of slag <br /> or other materials to the mill, is worrisome on a variety of grounds.And since the Mill is located in forest land, <br /> we also ponder the effects a possible wildfire engulfing the Mill and burning deadly chemicals could have on its <br /> immediate neighbors as well as the entire county.We feel the health and welfare of ourselves,our families,our <br /> pets,our water table, land,wildlife and community are endangered,as is all that we have worked for all our <br /> lives.Should there ever be a toxic release,our financial investments in our home and business will be <br /> obliterated. <br /> We would also like to note that according to research,this may be the only instance of a mill immediately <br /> adjacent to people's homes,not only in the state of Colorado but in the entire country. It is hard to believe that <br /> no regulations exist to prevent such a threat and people no longer have the right to feel secure in their homes. <br /> We have to wonder who will be held accountable, God forbid,should there be a leakage or toxic release <br /> causing an environmental and human health disaster.Certainly,the mill itself, but what entities that promoted it <br /> or allowed it to operate with deadly chemicals so close to human habitation will also be liable? <br /> Permit Number* <br /> I <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M1990057 <br /> I <br />
