<br />have an impact on our water supply and that the aquafers are joined. Also, <br />Summitville claimed it had state of the art design and equipment; what <br />happened to them? <br />"The project is located high and dry out of reach of even the worst imaginable <br />flood danger". Our experts show that the leach pond is right in the flood <br />plain which leads directly to our school on towards the town of San Luis. In <br />addition, the proposed site is right near an active fault line. <br />Gary Dodson says "it's safe". I say, yes Gary, it is safe. <br />you and your BMG "professional" employees. None of you live <br />of your children attend school at Centennial. Should someth <br />have nothing, and I repeat, nothing to lose. You tell those <br />safe it is when their school is inundated with cyanide, when <br />because of the tailings and when they're shook up because of <br />list just goes on. <br />It's seife for <br />in San Luis. None <br />ing happen, you <br />children how <br />they're. sick <br />the blasting and the <br />"BMG will not steal water from it's neighbors". I've seen pictures of water <br />gushing out of wells as well as having seen it for myself. He says that when <br />BMG is finished using the water rights, it, the water, will be returned to it's <br />agricultural use. I wonder. Never has water been returned to agricultural use <br />once it has been used for industrial purposes. <br />Gary Dodson has said that we are just a bunch of Mexicans with a welfare <br />mentality and that he refuses to work with the group that has been cesignated <br />as the intermediary - the Environmental Soundness Committee. <br />"BMG considers it a privilege to have the opportunity to operate in your community <br />and intend to earn that privilege by going out of our way to be gooc neighbors". <br />For a company that professes the desire to be such "good neighbors", Gary has <br />not only been extremely judgemental but down-right rude and self-righteous. He <br />has not only lied to this community both verbally and in writing, he has also <br />stolen. And he's right when he says that "stealing is both illegal and bad <br />business". It is not enough that he has degraded the people of San Luis, he <br />also tries to rob us of our rights for God-given things such as clean water <br />and air. <br />Gentlemen, it's not enough to hear, you must listen! We cry out fox help <br />which is what any/all of you would do if this gold mine were in your backyards. <br />Yes, we are emotional! San Luis, our home. We have land crops, animals and <br />families. Survival! Yes, for most, San Luis is all they have! Gentlemen, <br />San Luis is our life! <br />We, the people of San Luis, wish to choose our industry and as far as some of us <br />are concerned, mining is not it! <br />Gary Dodson says that the project has been permitted by the State of Colorado <br />and that other permits have been acquired along with necessary water rights. What <br />water rights? You granted them a permit without water rights and that goes <br />against the law - the written law! <br />You are our hope and again I ask that you listen to our plea. I also request <br />that a public hearing be held in the town of San Luis. <br />Thank you for your time and for your consideration of all of the above. <br />Respectfully <br />~, <br />ariam K.
