Reference: Waycaster Stone Co., Inc Mining Permit Application
To Whom it May Concern,
Please be advised that I have serious concerns regarding the above referenced mining permit
application.
The proposed mine threatens natural springs that supply private drinking water. Several springs are
located about 100 feet from the property lines of the proposed mine. One of the springs has provided
drinking water since 1957.Other springs have been in use for approximately 55 years and supply
drinking water to several households.
If the springs are disrupted or contaminated due to mining operations, multiple families will not have
drinking water. There is no public water supply for this area.
Please consider the impact the mining operation will have on that water source prior to granting
Waycaster Stone Co, Inc a mining permit.
Sinc rely,
Katrina 0 Smith
