Joint comments of Great Basin Mine Watch, EARTHWORKS, the Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter, and the Idaho Conservation League on NDEP’s proposal to reduce mercury air emissions from gold mines in the state of Nevada.

From the comments:

“The proposed program does not meet this mandate for the many reasons listed in these comments. We ask that the NDEP take the additional time needed to re-draft the proposed rules to incorporate these key provisions before initiating the formal rule making process.”
