Planning Department Petition

Dear Nevada County Planning Department,

March 2015 marked one year since San Juan Mining Corporation (SJMC) unilaterally halted well water quality testing for residents bordering the San Juan Ridge Mine. Such tests are part of the Baseline Groundwater Monitoring Program (BGMP) established by Nevada County as a part of the environmental review process for the mine. SJMC has failed to fulfill its requirements under the BGMP by:

- Not completing the mandated one year of concurrent well water supply and quality monitoring.

- Not providing reports on well level data to program participants.

We the undersigned Nevada County residents request that the application to re-open the San Juan Ridge Mine be dismissed for failure to honor the requirements set forth in the Baseline Groundwater Monitoring Program.
  • Who's your supervisor?
