About the event
The head of the Aquifer Protection Program and other staff will be present at this public meeting. ADEQ will make a presentation and then answer questions.
SSSR has contracted with a mining engineer and two hydrologists who are reviewing the draft permit to see whether the environmental protections in the permit will be adequate. SSSR is stepping up. We expect to have preliminary results of their review to share with you over the weekend so you can use their information to help form your own questions at Tuesday’s meeting.

As you think about what you might say or ask at the meeting, please remember that ADEQ will only consider comments focused on the substance of the permit and does not consider things like whether someone is for or against the mine…
