Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> The proposal to reopen and expand the Cross Gold Mine is deeply concerning.The sheer size of this operation, <br /> with no description of the intent to protect the water and land,could devastate the surrounding community and <br /> beyond. Mining can be conducted in ways that don't detriment the land and water. My father is a lifelong gold <br /> miner,and I have worked at a mining company in the past,so I am not'anti-mining'. <br /> The location of this mine is directly upstream from the town of Nederland and the reservoir that supplies <br /> thousands of residents. I worry about the private land owners in direct proximity. I'm also concerned about the <br /> protection of nearby public lands and the access to those public lands. I recreate in these areas every week. I <br /> understand Caribou hill is not necessarily wilderness.Still, it is an important wilderness access point for many, <br /> and a place I have grown fond of over the years.The extensive outdoor recreation and respect for wilderness <br /> areas,wildlife,and land health are central to this community. If this operation fails to extend the basic, <br /> achievable respect this land and community deserves,there will rightfully be no respect toward this operation. <br /> Permitting Action Comment/Objection is Regarding <br /> New Permit Change to Existing Permit <br />
