I want to protect the waterway

The Eleven Point river is my primary recreation site. I spend a decent ammount of time there fishing and camping with family and friends. I've done a decent ammount of watershed research over the years... even wrote a pretty detailed paper for one of my masters degree classes. I'm also originally from Washington state and have seen the sediment impacts from clear cut logging too close to streams and rivers on various streams and rivers. In this case I'm talking impact on Salmon and Steelhead trout. The last thing I want to see in this beatiful National Scenic river is impact to aquatic species that will negatively impact the excellent fishery that currently exists because of mine sediment entering the water . There is quite a bit of tourism that comes to Alton just for the river. Mess up the fishery and this economic source to the people there will be degraded.

I've met several people that live around the area in my 10 years of visiting there. I would hate to see any of there water sources contaminated due to this mine.

As one person stated in the video, this river was one of the first national scenic rivers in the US. Let us all continue to protect this area for what it was designated to be.

I’m a frequent user of the 11 Points River and do not want to risk ruining this national treasure.
