Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> As a concerned resident of Nederland, I strongly object to the reopening of the Caribou and Cross Mines due to <br /> significant environmental and public health risks. Historically,these mines have discharged heavy metals, <br /> including lead and cadmium, into local waterways,compromising water quality and aquatic ecosystems. <br /> Despite previous cease-and-desist orders and fines imposed for such violations,persistent contamination <br /> issues remain unresolved. Reopening these mines without comprehensive and effective remediation plans <br /> threatens our community's drinking water sources and the ecological integrity of the surrounding environment. <br /> Given the ongoing challenges in mitigating acid mine drainage across Colorado,it is imperative to prioritize the <br /> health and safety of Nederland residents by preventing the resumption of mining operations that have <br /> historically posed environmental hazards. <br /> Permitting Action Comment/Objection is Regarding <br /> New Permit Change to Existing Permit <br /> Permit Number* (') <br /> Enter a valid permit number <br /> M1977410 <br />
