[Urgent Action Requested: Please send comments to However, after contact with Mr. Holbrook on January 21, I learned that the comment period will probably be extended to February 25, 2005, though no formal announcement has been made yet. One is expected some time next week. I was also told that comments are accepted even after a deadline has passed. The comments deadline has been extended again. According to Black Mesa Project EIS, the following information has been posted about the extended comment deadline: "In response to public requests, OSM is extending to March 4, 2004, the comment period for the Black Mesa Project EIS. Due to inclement weather at the time of a public meeting on January 4, 2005, and the inability of some persons to attend, OSM is holding two additional meetings on Friday and Saturday, February 18 and 19, 2005, at the Forest Lake Chapter House for the dual purposes of obtaining comments on the EIS and continuing an informal conference on a coal mining and reclamation permit revision application." Later in the document it states: "Written comments may be submitted at the scoping meetings or sent to OSM by e-mail [BMK-EIS@osmre.gov] or letter. Written comments must be received by OSM by 4 p.m. on March 4, 2005, to ensure consideration in the preparation of the draft EIS." Transcripts from the scoping meetings held are now available in pdf format for reading at Black Mesa Project EIS. Many thanks in advance for your help.] [Harassment has been stepped up on the land.

exerting to keep this silent. Last, I ask that you keep the People of Big
