The United States Environmental Protection Agency has issued a draft operating permit, the underground injection control (UIC) permit, for Excelsior Mining’s Gunnison Copper Project, located in Cochise County, southeastern Arizona.
The draft UIC permit will remain open for public comment for a minimum of 30 days; the timing of the issuance of the final UIC permit is subject to this public comment period. The UIC permit is the last of the three key permits required to get into production; earlier this year the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality issued an amended aquifer protection permit for the Johnson Camp Mine, and an aquifer protection permit for the Gunnison Copper Project.
“The receipt of the Draft EPA Permit for public comment is another successful milestone for the company. The team have done a great job working diligently with the EPA and local stakeholders to ensure this final permit is equally protective of the environment,” said Stephen Twyerould, president and CEO.
