45 Day Comment Period and May 9 Virtual Meeting, page-9

they noted under the draft EIS preferred alternative (north and south overburden storage - not the no action alternative which is good to hear!). Was great to hear the a summary of the outcomes of the report on this meeting. Been so busy haven’t had time to read the full DEIS yet that’s this weekends job! The opposition still seem to think there are evaporation ponds etc… stating past lithium mines water evaporation issues as facts for this one… these are “doctorates” that don’t read before making “statements of fact” apparently… I don’t know why so many here let Patric live rent free in their heads, his Qs seemed well leveled and respectful/reasonable, and the BLM had a clear response for all their Qs and the report seemed to cover all the “disasters effects” they have tried claiming it would have in the media. I feel the BLM and INR will be well positioned after ROD to mitigate and litigation attempts…
