Rosemont Impact on the Environment

Environmental Impact

Can the disruption of the rain runoff, and lowering of the local groundwater table from the Rosemont mine further threaten the surface water of the Cienega Creek?  Is there potential for the creek to be polluted from the mine operations during heavy rains?  The Cienega Creek is approximately 8 to 9 miles east of the Mine location.  The Fish and Wildlife service under the US department of the interior has classified the Ceinega Creek (upper and lower) as a critical habitat for the Gila Chub (Gila Intermedia) which is designated as endangered with critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as documented  in the Federal Register.

Our subdivision (South of the Coronado forest) abuts their property which will be used for the Rosemont over burden.

I took this picture in our South pasture (so to say) a couple of days ago and couldn't get all of the deer in the picture.  We are now seeing about 25-30 mule deer, daily, and 3 white tailed deer.  They will be long gone if the mine goes in.

  What can you do to help stop this mine?
