Public comment period extended on gravel pit plan near gorge
Simeon Herskovitz of Western Environmental Law Center criticizes the three week public comment window. Taos BLM manager Ron Huntsinger extends it to August 11 but rejects a public hearing. Residents fear dust noise and visual impact from the Perovich gravel pit, while berms and quieter gear are proposed to reduce effects. An alternative site shows lower visual impact but higher soil and water concerns. an EIS is urged by opponents. Huntsinger will respond after August 11, with possible further comments or appeals.
