The work of an Advisory Committee is to review and comment on the draft, which
moves through various iterations before going to the agency board &
Commissioner for release as a draft rule for comment.
Can't do the work if the
draft isn't there. It's that simple...

Last year's legislation has proven to be lots of wishful thinking and little
enforceable regulation of silica sand mining. The state did not enact a
moratorium, there's no Generic Environmental Impact Statement, nor a requirement
for an Environmental Impact Statement for individual sand mine permit
applications, and we're waiting for the nominal narrow rules and the optional
model Standards and Criteria. Now another legislative session is upon us,
legislators are touring their districts and preparing for elections, so now's
the time to let the legislators know that last year's placating "compromise"
doesn't cut it, that it's compromised the public interest, and we deserve and
expect better.
The people expect reasonable regulation of silica sand mining.
