Residents worry new mining at canyon mouth could affect Daniel’s water
Summary
At the Aug. 26 town hall residents raised alarms about a new mining operation near the canyon mouth and asked whether operations could threaten the town’s water supply or lead to other industrial uses such as a cement plant.
Several attendees raised concerns about mining activity near the town and the potential effect on water. Barbara Norris drew attention to "a new mining operation at the mouth of the canyon," saying it "is a concern for her and other residents of the Town, specifically how it will affect the Town’s water." Jean McGuire said she supports buffers between Industrial and Residential zones and warned residents to be careful "about who they elect to the state legislature," tying local land-use outcomes to state-level representation.
No technical analyses were presented at the meeting. Officials did not make any regulatory changes; residents asked that mining, water impacts and related industrial uses be examined as the General Plan and code updates proceed.
