Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> GIR has not shown that it can safely manage what it currently has. <br /> At a minimum,the length of the permit is too long. <br /> It has already shown non-compliance and incompetence with the relatively recent release of 20x normal levels <br /> of copper into the water. <br /> It has no incentive to extract these minerals in a truly responsible way.The more restrictions,the more it costs <br /> them and like water,GIR will find a way to circumvent regulations that cost them any extra dollars.Oversight <br /> must be extreme.GIR needs to pay for that oversight. <br /> Until it has proven that it has been able to comply without ANY accidents of heavy metals in the water for a <br /> significant period of time, like 5-10 more years,GIR should not be considered for an expanded permit. <br /> There is no mention of reclamation,only water treatment.After 40 years,this will leave an enormous scar and <br /> there is no inclusion of preservation or conservation of the land itself.The price GIR should be paying to destroy <br /> habitat and put the general public's health at risk should be much higher and much more strict. <br /> Their previous digressions reveal their true m.o.and disregard for the environment and public health and safety. <br /> I am strongly opposed to granting this permit as it stands. <br /> Permitting Action Comment/Objection is Regarding <br /> 9 New Permit Change to Existing Permit <br />
