Urgent Phone Calls/Emails Needed to Protect Our Drinking Water

March 5, 2018 By santaritas 3 Comments

The only thing standing between our water and the destructive Rosemont Mine is the Sec. 404 Clean Water Act permit program.

Now, coincidentally, Rosemont and its mining allies are trying to pass a bill that is a blatant attempt to make things easier for companies like Rosemont owners to destroy our water resources in order to enrich themselves and their foreign investors.

The bill, SB 1493 is scheduled to be heard in Committee TOMORROW, TUESDAY March 5. Call this Committee TODAY, to tell them to vote AGAINST SB 1493. Again, call TODAY. Below is a listing of the Committee members for you to call.

SB 1493 is a bad idea that must be rejected.
