Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> As a downstream neighbor of the mine I oppose the expansion of acreage and the change of permit type. <br /> Common sense suggests a 2000%increase in permit acreage allows a 2000%increase in activity and impacts <br /> across all impact types.So,a 2000%increase in the potential scale and disturbance of mining operations;a <br /> 2000%increase in the intensity of heavy traffic through a small town and narrow canyon;a 2000%increase in <br /> the size of tailings;a 2000%increase in the the volume of toxic byproducts;and a 2000%increase in the <br /> effluence of toxic byproducts into the creek that flows directly through the mine area,then through the center of <br /> a town,then into a municipal water supply serving hundreds of thousands of downstream users. <br /> Meanwhile,the change in permit type seems to take such impacts for granted and to greenlight them. <br /> Can we expect a 2000%increase in caution at the site?A 2000%increase in associated infrastructure to <br /> support a much larger industrial operation?A 2000%increase in protections at the nearby wilderness area?A <br /> 2000%increase in cleanup activities when the toxic impacts inevitably find their way downstream? <br /> This expansion permit should be denied.Thank you for your attention. <br /> Permitting Action Comment/Objection is Regarding <br /> New Permit • Change to Existing Permit <br />
