It appears <br />that the changes are not going to significantly alter the <br />implications to wildlife from the development. As most of the <br />material is engineering specs, and I am not an engineer, I must <br />rely on your staff to ensure that project design is adequate to <br />ensure against possible leaks, spills, etc. of toxic materials <br />that could impact wildlife. Will all holding ponds be fenced to <br />keep wildlife out? Will the ponds be monitored to prevent birds <br />from using the site, i.e. migrating waterfowl? If it should become <br />a problem, then the company should have a plan to correct it. <br />My understanding of the proposed changes suggests that they are <br />mainly for cost/benefit types of reasons. The amount of cyanide <br />will be essentially the same under both methods. Again, our main <br />concern is to prevent wildlife from coming into contact with <br />cyanide, and from cyanide entering into the aquatic environment, <br />and for adequate final reclamation of the site. Thank you for the <br />opportunity to review the amendment. <br />Sincerely, <br />(,,, Nano <br />Kirk W.
