Save the Scenic Santa Ritas

“Part III Primary Exempt Purpose: The purpose of the Organization is to protect the aesthetic environmental and wildlife values of the Santa Rita Mountains, Patagonia Mountains, Canelo Hills and San Rafael Valley of Southern Arizona through education and outreach including protection of these areas from degradation due to mining activities. Part III Line 28: Public Outreach and Education - included participating in numerous community fairs and exhibitions in order to keep interested parties informed of our progress. We sent regular email alerts to over 3,000 supporters, met with local elected officials and federal regulatory agencies to provide information, including science-based research, which showed the impact that the proposed mine would have on our community. We provided reams of information regarding the Rosemont proposal to US Army Corps of Engineers and are now awaiting the final denial of the Clean Water Act 404 Permit from the San Francisco office. We provided information and tours of the proposed Rosemont site to various politicians, students, and interested citizens. We spoke with media and wrote letters to newspapers and elected officials.”
