It is important to narrow down the issue(s). Moores Mining are digging, mining,and excavating in a non permitted area across their property.They are digging down and disturbing ground water and backfilling with crusher fines and waste material.They have cut down their fields to process the material and you can see a road next to the bridge where they cross West Creek disturbing the waterway by oil and erosion.This will definitely affect the wildlife and fish due to the water crossings and the wildlife due to their unsafe diggings across the property that animals could be potential harmed, injured or disturbed in their habitat.They also cross Highway 141 in their haul trucks and equipment without proper signage on a blind corner to process the dirt they are retrieving outside of their permitted area. If you look at google maps,you can visually see many areas they have excavated and extracted material to haul to their pit for processing. I have also attached a map of the areas of concern and attached the drawing of what they submitted for their permit area.
