Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> The expansion of the mine is concerning based on their ethical merits since 2017 without concern for the <br /> negative impacts to our waterways. <br /> The December 2024 water quality violation for copper combined with the 2021 Cease and Desist Order are <br /> significant red flags.The repeated surface and ground water violations suggest that the water treatment system <br /> may not be adequate for active mining conditions. Require the applicant to demonstrate(1)the ability to sustain <br /> compliance with water quality standards at current activity levels before permitting a 20-fold expansion;and(2) <br /> the ability of the upgraded water treatment system to effectively treat water from a greatly expanded operation <br /> of over 200 acres. Rigorously assess the likely impact of the proposed expansion of existing tunnels and the <br /> creation of new tunnels upon ground and well water. <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 />
