Please deny new permits for phosphate mining that will severely impact Manatee, Sarasota, Hardee, DeSoto, Hamilton, Union and Bradford counties.

How/why is this industry, this business at this crucial time, "permitted" to pillage & destroy water, air, land with freakish impunity & blatant disregard for effects on peoples' lives, the state of FL,, the planet??? Unsustainable short term profit/greed. leaving behind an uninhabitable, toxic wasteland?? How is this possible in FL and the US?

Florida will be depleted of phosphate and Mosaic will leave the state with a huge mess, contaminated water and irreparable harm to the environment.

Algae bloom is also a concern in the great lakes. The use of phosphates must be eliminated and mining prohibited.

I have children and grandchildren in this county, and am very concerned about this terrible and devastating health hazard for all of us. Please stop the destruction of our land and threat to our health.

Phosphate-mined land cannot ever be restored to support the diversity of life that has been destroyed.

Florida's water is already impaired and we are struggling to reverse decades of damage. This would destroy the watershed. Please prevent these mines.

A proposed mine in Bradford County is 2 miles from my home, This is a farming and residential area. Citizens in my neighborhood are concerned about how this will affect our quality of life and our air and water.
