text: Beyond the water pollution have you folks ever driven past the Climax mine area?  Destruction for miles around.  I never understand how a private company is allowed to rape and pillage public land like that - it's disgusting.  Same goes for that Henderson Mine but there the damage is hidden in that valley up to the let as you start up Berthoud Pass.  The Henderson operation has destroyed an entire mountain and TWO adjacent valleys.  JustlLook at the damage from satellite views - very sad.
