Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative <br /> I object to the CJK Milling Company, LLC, plan to reopen the Leadville Mill. Lake County has a long history of <br /> mining.This mining was quite extractive from our community, but in ways that have outlasted the minimal <br /> impact received. In 1983,the EPA declared our mining district a superfund site.The clean-up took decades <br /> millions of dollars.Lead poisoning continues to be an issue in Lake County. I personally know of one child who <br /> nearly died within the last decade. <br /> An article(included below)in History Colorado explicitly discusses the reopening of the Leadville Mill in relation <br /> to the superfund site. My concerns about water contamination are very real.We know that Social Determinants <br /> of Health(CDC article listed below)can significantly impact community member's quality and length of life. In <br /> fact,the Colorado Equity Compass(also linked below)states that Lake County residents are below the state <br /> average in health services access.This means that if community members began to experience health impacts <br /> from mining,they would be less likely to access affordable,timely,and quality health care to address these <br /> issues. <br /> Please do not prioritize corporate greed over my and my fellow community members'health. <br /> https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/california-gulch-superfund- <br /> site#:-:text=Established%20by%20the%20US%20Environ mental,headwaters%20are%20located%20near%20 <br /> Leadville. <br /> https://www.cdc.gov/about/sdoh/index.html <br /> https://coequitycompass.org/data-model/8065 <br /> Permit Number* <br /> I <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M1977999, M1999777UG or C1981201. <br /> M1990057 <br /> I <br />
