I will leave this comment up even though it commits the same violation. It does present some new material. I watched the videos. The first is from the Sonoran institute and features a hydrologist. I will leave it to others to argue hydrology – not my field. I did notice, however, that the hydrologist thinks water travels uphill, according to his cross-section. Rock formations actually dip away from the east side of the proposed pit. Water would have to travel uphill to be drained into the pit as the hydrologist alleges.

The second video is from the Save the Santa Ritas group. It is about air quality and postulates that haboobs might spread toxic dust from the tailings. Has that happened at Green Valley yet?

It appears that these two videos are intend to foster fear similar to Cyanide Beach: they play very loosely with the truth.

As if you aren’t posting identical and repetitive comments, JD! Your censorship of my comments stinks! What’s wrong with you? Do you delete Horquilla’s comments or words from those who agree with your misbegotten support for the Rosemont Open Pit Copper Mine?

Check out the link above. That’s not repetitive. It’s a video about how the Rosemont Open Pit Copper Mine is likely to drain a large area of Southern Arizona.

Here’s another link about the toxic content of the tailings and how tailings are apt to blow around, spreading health problems:

That cyanide problem in Italy is another major reason the Rosemont Open Pit Copper Mine should not be allowed to proceed.

And, Rosemont modified their plans so significantly recently that a new EIS is now required, before any serious consideration can be given to permitting dumping tailings on public land.

JD, you and your friend Horquilla ought to reconsider your blind support for such a noxious project as the Rosemont Open Pit Copper Mine.

Despite numerous public viewings, John Dougherty’s “Cyanide Beach” didn’t gain much traction, because most Arizonans recognized it for what is really was.
