Please be as specific <br /> as possible. <br /> Comment/Objection Narrative* <br /> I am deeply concerned about the permit as it stands.The lack of future planning in regards to storage of spent <br /> material (after the first on-site holding area is filled in 12-15 months)is enough to warrant a strong pause on <br /> approval until these concerns are addressed and properly planned for. <br /> Another major concern is in regards to water;the acquisition and amount used,even in a so called closed loop <br /> system,as well as the control of runoff.The multitude of residential wells and the proximity to the Arkansas <br /> River headwaters ignites strong opposition.The plan to sample testing wells every quarter is not a proactive <br /> approach-with the possibility of contamination existing for months before being discovered.This poses an <br /> incredible risk to families, livestock,and natural resources. <br /> My final major concern is the stiring up of materials to transport from one location to another. Having had my <br /> personal property undergo a costly remediation to make it safe for my family and neighbors, I learned first hand <br /> the seriousness of dust suppression. I struggle to see how proper dust control can be attained at both the <br /> gathering site and while in transit through the community. I saw no plan in the permit concerning dust and water <br /> use and control at the offsite locations and while in route to the mill. <br /> Please deny the permit as it currently stands. <br />
