Well then how do you answer that Arizona state law forbids any degradation of Outstanding Waters of Arizona?

It’s pretty clear from EPAs comments that it doesn’t meet environmental laws, at least as they see them, so your statements don’t carry much weight with those of us that would prefer to conserve something for the future.

It also appears that you’ve worked off and on for Rosemont so I seriously doubt you’ve got an unbiased opinion on this…

Best of luck, Mark. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write about Medicare and Obamacare – and for getting me great SEO.

Someone once said, “Not to decide is a decision”. I am totally opposed to yet another scar on the face of our Mother Earth to enrich the pockets of a few mining corporate execs and owners. I enjoy the drive out to Patagonia and the State Park, and also occasionally the scenic drive down Box Canyon Road(or FR62) on my way to Madera Canyon. The scenic part will be long gone once the mining starts, big trucks roll, and the ore crusher machinery is running full tilt. I really don’t want to see yet another Sierrita type Mine or another Mission Mine eyesore. I don’t give a rip how many permits the corporations and their minions are waving at the public to garner advocates. Southern Arizona does not need another mine on the southern edge of Tucson. The benefits are temporary until the ore plays out, the hole in the ground is a permanent and perpetual eyesore. ENOUGH is enough!!!

Interesting. Not too long ago there was an article about the decline in tourism at Colossal Cave. I don’t know the real reason but I don’t like going out there anymore because the drive used to be so beautiful, dipping winding roads through a rural desert. That wasn’t too long ago but now it’s more like driving through a neighborhood to a miniature golf course or some other urban attraction. And people complain about all the BAD things a mining company wants to do overlooking the even greater amount of desert turned into residential neighborhoods.
Comparing this mine to a nuclear disaster that occurred as the result of a natural catastrophe is more about emotional appeal than fact.
