Reported that CPSV met with Hudbay after the open house; many questions went unanswered. CPSV has a contract with a hydrogeologist, with hydrology as the main goal of mitigation efforts.

Announced the Friends of the Library annual meeting Sept 11, and later noted CPSV's agreement with Hudbay and concerns about tailings filling Lincoln Flats.

Asked whether Hudbay actually gave money to the fire department, and questioned whether multi-billion dollar companies keep their promises.

Asked about holding pond capacity, why large storage tanks aren't used, and the copper sulfate concentration.

Agreed with baseline water testing concerns and asked who pays for Mason Pass and 95A roads — mines should pay for county infrastructure before breaking ground.
