CALWild: Protect The Mojave - Reject Castle Mountain Mine Expansion

Castle Mountain Mine — a Canadian gold and silver mine in eastern San Bernardino County — is asking to QUADRUPLE its operation in an area where desert horseback riders love to ride and stargazers enjoy exceptional views of the Milky Way. The proposed expansion would build a new water pipeline to more than TRIPLE the mine's water usage – to up to 733.5 MILLION gallons per year, realign roads, and increase the mine's crushing rate from 17,123 tons per day to 52,055 tons per day. Please contact the Bureau of Land Management to tell them that you don't want them to allow the Castle Mountain Mine to expand and that instead, they should protect the recreational access and experiences, as well as the scenic beauty that this area provides. The comment deadline is November 20! Act HERE.
