  1. A mining town is SUPPOSED to become a future ghost town. No mine ever lasts forever. No (private) job lasts forever. The idea is to get reasonably wealthy -- and then MOVE AWAY -- retire to a more pleasant climate. These mining towns are poor precisely because NO-ONE really wants to live there. The sole reason why the Environmental study is scarcely needed -- the mine is 6,000 to 7,500 feet straight down! All that is at issue is what's to become of the tailings... the processing waste. Because of Federal mining law, the prior practices that everyone complains about are out of the question -- forbidden. As for the tribal dancing ground -- it'll still be there -- and since the surface is about 6,000 feet above the ore -- it's highly questionable if it'll ever subside. There are mines all over Arizona that have been abandoned for decades -- without subsidence. What is by FAR the most likely out come: the mine is shut down -- because of economics -- long before all of the ore is taken out. ALL mines face this fate. No-one EVER takes out even 90% of what is physically in the earth -- same as oil wells, coal mines, you name it. BTW, the huge amount of water is massively recycled. Otherwise the mine could never work out. Failure to mine = poverty for America across the nation. Mining/ oil drilling under-pins our national economy. Biden has throttled the energy industry. We all feel it when we buy groceries -- and everything else. Biden hates ICE cars. Now the Feds are stopping the cheap manufacture of EVs, too. You can't win.
