ADEQ Meeting in Tucson on Thursday, May 10 – Your Voice is Needed to Protect Our Water

May 2, 2018 By santaritas Leave a Comment

Some of you have probably already received this notice from ADEQ, but for those who haven’t:

ADEQ will be hosting an all-day meeting regarding the Triennial Review of Surface Water Quality Standards on Thurs., May 10 in Room 222 of the northern State of Arizona Building at 400 W. Congress (this building is immediately west of Granada on the corner of Granada and Congress – map).  There is parking on the west side of the building.

Of particularly interest to those of us fighting the Rosemont Mine is the portion of the agenda from 3-5 PM concerning the Outstanding Water issue.  As you know, the proposed Rosemont Mine threatens Las Cienegas Creek,  an Outstanding Arizona Water and Rosemont functionaries are deeply involved in this process.

Litigation Update

Speaking of which (the appeal originally filed in Nov. 2017 challenging the Forest Service’s approval of the mine), we now have a schedule for that case in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals – not definitive, but at least a general time frame:
