Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I object to the expansion of this mining permit. <br /> 1.The repeated surface and ground water violations suggest that the water treatment system may not be <br /> adequate for active mining conditions AND/OR that the Permittee is insufficiently careful or motivated to protect <br /> our water resources. Given the current/future regulatory climate, I am concerned that there is not sufficient <br /> protection for Coon Track Creek,and ultimately,our drinking water in Boulder County.The groundwater leaving <br /> this site will need to be monitored for over 100 years following the closing of the mine. <br /> 2.This mine is permitted for 50 years and may generate 40,000 tons of waste rock a year. <br /> 3. Right now,this valley is a functioning habitat for wildlife.The CPW's letter lists impacts on both local and <br /> migrating wildlife for this site-wildlife becoming entrapped in open trenches,collisions,exhaustion, increased <br /> depredation,and direct mortality. How will wildlife be protected from ponds filled with mining chemicals and <br /> heavy metals? <br /> 4.We do not have a shortage of gold,silver,lead or zinc.This mine is simply intended to generate profit for a <br /> few and long-lasting devastation for everyone else. <br /> 5. In a state where we have already seen so much habitat loss,there is no amount of money that will bring this <br /> valley back.Will the wildlife driven away over those 50 years of mining have a place to go?Between 1982 and <br /> 2017,Colorado lost more than 42 football fields of open space EACH day. <br /> 6.
