The liability to replacement to surrounding owners of water rights!'urigetion rights aze not <br />addressed at all. Also is not the company DBA as an L.L.C., protect the applicants and na the present <br />sutroundQtg landowners. <br />Second, the envirotwental issues addressed in the application is vague and non-descriptive. An <br />environmental impact sntement should be provided up front' bringing into play run-on, run-off, discharge, <br />clean water act end NPDES issues with solid solutions and goals/expectations. <br />Third, to address the size proposed industrial sites and duration of the site is questionable at bests[. <br />Ina 20 square mile radius these are numerous sites of this type, which Wly questions the demand of the <br />product but also brings into play no support of evidence on the applicants part of previous experience <br />dealing with any of the business operations as stated above and in the permit application. <br />Sigtted _ ~~ <br />i ', <br />Michael D,trcker ' <br />,~,Ci l <br />
