The Kirkland Mining Company has submitted a plan of operations to the Bureau of Land Management, intending to mine in Skull Valley near Kirkland Arizona. The impact this mine would create in the small, rural community is vast. Some of the most negative impacts would be air, water, noise and sound pollution, increased fire danger, increased traffic fatalities, degradation of roads, disturbance of cultural sites, disturbance of sensitive species, destruction of the unique beauty of the area, plummeting property values and depletion of the neighborhood's water supply. Please deny the Kirkland Mining Company's request to mine on public land in Kirkland, Arizona.
