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. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=2005_register&docid=fr02no05-22
