- **Event Name**: Holland/Roarick Mine - Tour and Q&A with BLM
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 30 Dec, 2025 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Friends, a gold miner is proposing to excavate a full 22-acres on the side of a hill just off the Holland Loop, about a mile from the Holland Store.  This is way beyond the scope of any other mining in this county, and may have serious impacts including: the dust, the noise, the visible ginormous scar on the hillside, loss of access for locals, loss of recreationalists who spend money in our businesses, and the addition of silt to the salmon-bearing Democrat Creek.

This Tuesday, December 30 at 1 pm, come take a walking tour of the area to be mined, and have a chance to connect with other neighbors and community members who are concerned.  BLM leadership will also be attending, so that they can answer questions and concerns and tour the site with us.  Please come out and see this beautiful spot that is proposed for destruction, and show that our valley supports sustainability and care for our natural world, as opposed to one more boom-and-bust take-the-gold-and-go extraction!  

The BLM has published an Environmental Assessment for this mining plan.  It proposes lots of gates, but specifies very little control on noise, dust, or in-stream silt.  Comments are due on January 7, so we can go for the walk on Tuesday, and then have one week to sit with what we learn, and write comments!  You can find the EA here:

Motherline's co-director, Cindy Palacios, lives near the proposed mine site, and is spearheading an effort to make sure that us local citizens have a chance to be informed and have a voice in these plans!  This tour/Q&amp;A isn't a Motherline project, but Motherline is 100% about stewardship: of our kids, our community, and our planet.  And we're thinking that people who have been following our Clean Sweep events, and everything else we do, would like to know about this mine.  

Please come out for the tour on Tuesday!  Take the Holland Loop 5 miles to Kendall Road.  Turn right on Kendall (at the Holland Store).  Go 1/2 mile, veer left onto Althouse Creek Road, continue 3/4 mile, and park on dirt road on left.
