While we the undersigned fully support the purpose of the Bureau of Reclamation's Folsom Dam Safety and Flood Damage Reduction plan, we oppose the Bureau's last-minute insertion of a contingency element that would allow the mining and excavation of the shoreline area below Mooney Ridge directly adjacent to the community of Granite Bay. We object to the potential exposure of the entire Granite Bay community, including children attending nearby Cavitt Middle School, as well as Folsom Lake State Park visitors to serious and unnecessary health hazards as well as the destruction of a unique and natural environment currently accessible to all park users. We the undersigned demand that the Bureau of Reclamation remove this "Preferred Alternative" from the Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report "EIS/EIR", and use commercially available material sources instead of in-reservoir "borrow" materials to make up any potential shortfall, as recommended in the report.

Not in our neighborhood. Go find another source for your dirt.

This is our backyard. My kids play by the water every summer. You cant turn a recreation area into a mining pit. Think about the dust and noise levels for the school right next door.

The air quality alone is enough of a reason to stop this. Do not expose my kids to that mess.

RIDICULOUS. Why destroy a beautiful spot when there are other places to get materials? Leave our shoreline alone!!

My kids go to Cavitt. This is a health hazard plain and simple. Put the project somewhere else.

Used to take my dog here all the time. Such a shame to ruin nature for a shortcut. Fix it the right way.
