Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday November 8, 1995 Page 4 Details of copper mine presented by Bill Pierce from Representatives Summo Corporation presented an overall view of the proposed copper mining operation in Lisbon Valley at a pub- sparsely-attende- d lic meeting at the Moab office of the Bureau of Land Management. BLM and Summo repre- sentatives outnumbered the few members of the general public who attended the meeting. Which was a shame, especially since the project could have such consequences for La Sal. Summo proposes to decopper velop an open-pi- t mine and heap leaching operation 19 miles southeast of La Sal in Lisbon Valley. The company has projected April, 1996 as the date for presentation of the Environmental Impact Study, with a final draft in September, far-reachi- ng of the emhope to find most commuployees from local nities. In addition to pay roll, a $7.6 million per year tax burden is expected. Although the company has deyet to work out all of the tails, such as security, Summos master plan covers environmental issues, safety, and future reclama- tion. It is quite possible that the Summo copper operation will con- significantly tribute to the population increase already occurring in La Sal. Last week, a new module home was placed north of Steve and Diane Hansen, another family fleeing Moab. A few longtime La Sal folk are unhappy about the influx of people. The beauty and pristine nature of La Sal should be shared with everyone, or so the comment was made by a young lady looking for land in La Sal. She said it is a backwards attitude for Old Timers to want to keep from moving to La Sal. Its not that La Sal folks are backwards, they are just like the name La Sal; palindromic, the same either way, frontwards or non-loca- ls backwards.

ROUND THE REGION Virus takes toll on Sanpete turkeys Before construction can begin, Summo must request, obtain, and comply with more than 20 local, state, and federal permits. Summo officials hope that the Environmental Impact Study and necessary permits will be issued by November, 1996. At that time, a final decision can be made on the project, and (hopefully), the go-ahe- Call today for a convenient appointment 303-677-41- in Utah 41 Located at 450 West Hwy 666 COLORADO DOVE CREEK 251 N.
