This is the reporter at the Kingman Daily Miner, author of the article about SIRG and the Chloride mine. He recently wrote an article about the Hondo mine directly above the town of Chloride. It also contained errors.
Hondo Minerals Corporation, which operates the Tennessee and Schuylkill mines in Chloride , received three notices of violations from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality in the last month-and-a-half.
Two of the violations, one for discharging water without an aquifer protection permit and one for not having a permit for storm water discharge, were sent to the company on May 23.
The third violation was sent on June 11 and alleges that Hondo operated two combustion engines - each over 325 horsepower - without an air quality control permit. http://

This led to ADEQ discovering the violations, even though the site didn't go live until June 27.
ADEQ did not discover the violations. They were discovered by a concerned citizen who took pictures and sent them to ADEQ!
Below is a picture taken showing water from a well near the Hondo property.
Care for a drink??
