JoEllen Turner 970 - 864 -7682 p.5 not there. Our rights have been violated because WFC told all their employees that they would be getting pink slips if they did not help get Pr -06 passed because we were trying to shut the mine down. ALL LIES. Pr -06 was our property and putting our property back the way it should be. AND we have not anytime tried to get the mine shut down, just our soils from being stolen and from more damages being done to our property because ALL OF THE RECLAMATION, REVEGETATION, AND SOIL SAMPLING AND PRIME FARMLAND DETERMINATIONS HAD TO BE DONE PRIOR TO MINING UNDER THE ACT AND ALL OF THESE HAD TO BE APPROVED WITH LANDOWNERS CONSENT PRIOR TO EVEN THE PERMIT BEING APPROVED!!! The pre- conference hearing was not a PUBLIC announcement, and in fact, I had to chase down the Federal Express man to even get the notice just prior to the time of the meeting which was also a violation of our rights. Our rights under the ACT have been violated because there is no LANDOWNER coordination. Making major changes to our property and then allowing us to comment and then ignoring our comments or the history of this place and ignoring our documentations and then just going ahead and approving something causing damages to our property is not land owner coordination. AND PR -07 is a prime example. The point , our rights under the ACT have been violated, our civil rights under the ACT have been violated, and our right to APPEAL a Boards decision to get a permit revision under the ACT has also been violated. The results of the appeal has not even been determined and it's been over two years and WFC has submitted a total REBUTTAL to a BOARD ORDER and the STATE has accepted this which should have never been allowed in the first place, again a violation of the ACT ,rules, and landowner rights, and we are formally objection to the Renewal of the Permit, and to Permit revision number 7 and if it is not thrown out, then we are demanding an informal hearing in Nucla Colorado convenient to all and in a neutral location and convenient enough that all these farmers and ranchers that have objected be allowed to attend. We are also requesting an informal hearing for the permit renewal since our concerns, and our objections are not recognized. Our rights were also violated when we requested the Board to accompany us on sight and were denied, when we asked that we be allowed to attend through video means so that all 35 objectors could attend and were denied, we asked that the meeting be held so that all the people could view the mine and see what was going on and we were denied. Actually the meeting was held in the dark, far enough away that no one could see anything, and not one of the people such as OSM could even make a walk over the property and see the violations. Our rights were violated because we were limited to a very short 15 minutes per person to give complaints that affected our entire lives_ We have had stockpiles and no production on those areas mined for 10 years, again a violation of our rights under the ACT. We have been deprived of our livelihood, and the people that the STATE submitted as people FOR Pr -06 at the formal hearing were all about JOBS and nothing to do with PR - 06. One even submitted for ENERGY FUELS nothing to do with us and ONE submitted for NEW Horizon NORTH again nothing to do with PR and tha BOARD was not made aware of those facts either, violating our rights under the ACT. And one of the MOST important violations of the ACT is what has to be contained in the permit revisions and permit applications and that is FACTUAL information and ACCURATE documentation and the STATE has approved these things without making sure the information is correct or accurate and like MR. Benys letter states of all the fraudulent entries and all 51 Page
