RAPID CITY, S.D. — Public uproar Wednesday at the rapid city legal and finance committee meeting — the main discussion revolved around opposition to gold exploration.
A company called Big Rock Exploration wants to mine for gold in the silver city area.
Mining has been shown to create environmental damage and involves unsafe chemicals — which in turn can affect the future of rapid city. Which is why so many locals are expressing opposition to the proposal.
A major concern is water contamination and pollution.
Members of the legal and finance committee say they understand the concerns of the public.
“The people that live here and work here and play here and visit here want clean water,” said Laura Armstrong, Ward Five.
The opposition resolution was approved, and will go to the city council on Monday, Feb. 3.
