Mining on this mountain will:
 further diminish the air quality of the San Joaquin Valley in central California
 destroy the beauty of a gateway mountain to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National  Parks affecting millions of annual visitors
 degrade the sanctity of a mountain sacred to the local Choinumni Tribe
 affect the status of a designated scenic highway
 impact the water supply of local residents and valley farmers
 further add to the congestion of already overcrowded local highways
