Of course we only have your word for it so it is "hearsay"!

Thanks for calling Paul and that's great that the DEIS or EIS or whatever they want to call it was submitted on July 27th. I fail to see any environmental "impacts" since the mine is in a remote area with no residents living nearby nor any campgrounds or other recreational facilities in the area. We already know there are no endangered plants or animals and no creeks or running streams, so each department should have no problem signing off.

I only found one DEIS for Arizona. SIRG's DEIS should show up here in the next 2 weeks.

EIS Data

SCROLL DOWN - note they have 6 weeks for comment but that is for a recreational area in a National Forest, not a mining claim on BLM land.
