The proposcd wildemcvn study nrca is

Hrofc**iona1ly. I believe iłu* Gooding City of Rocks wildcnu-.ss proposnl i* not in balnncc wilh the dovelopmcnt of Idaho* mining industry. ¹

The depoMl of diatomuccous cnrth the .Slroul family ha* cłaim lo is directly affecud by this propo.ial. The potentiul for devc!opmenl of lin? diatomaccous earth Tloims u very goofl |uid would bcneftrn lor^-of Idaho busincsscs as wcll as ila resident*.

As ihe pasł dmlopment consulumi for this projcct. I can ossurc you. ua 1 huvc on _t numerous occaswns in your Office*. that ihe proposcd wildemcss słudy aren hns cloudcd mnny potcntial huyerb of orc nnd also of the cnlire dcposit.

The sccuring of contract ore sules is r.ext lo impossible os ho one will gambie on rccciving orc shipments on a rcgular and uninlerrupled bnsis duo 10 possiMo conflicLs with cnvironmcnuilistH over matters which would bc relnled lo the wilderness study nrca.

The siłę and qua)ity of ihr depusit. cimplcd wilh the umquecn>«* willi which the orc could U* rninrd. make* il a vcrv vuluablc deposit indeed. In cjur ciwironmenlal a*si*ssnu*nt, which we sulunitfcd lo your ofTice. wc stated that our proposcd mining nutłiods would improYe the gcographic.il area and enhance il* hcouty.

Thcsc test* itr.d llicir rcsull* are monilored by myself and reluycd on lo Mr. Loroy Strout on a regular hasis.

Pcrsonally. ihc possibilityof developing iłu- Slroul diatomaccous earth deposil i* very feasiblo. Ilauing had ihe opporlunity lo negolinlc wilh tnc prospcclivc buye/s and ob*crvr some of Ihe innowition* which ure manufactured withdiatomaceous cnrth ns wcll as knuwing ihc escalation of diatomaccous earth sole* for consuihptinn in U.S. market*. ihc Slroul dcpo*it will havc n brighl and profitable futuro if the sligmn of the wildcrr.ess study urca cnn bc climinatcd or nllercd lu not afford the hazard of any conflict with enviranmunt;iliMa in the futurę.

The pos.sibility of a now and scecrcly necded industry busc of high technolog)-nnd mnnufaclunng cjin bo implementcd lo

thcaUitc of Idaho. SaaeMngtheore comhmcd with n brge work forcc ns wcll as cxccllent transportation system* make* the feasibility of this projcct nil the morc importam.

Idaho is all too wcll familiur with the ups and down* of MMSonal employmer.t nnd ha* bccn the rccipient ofdipresscd ngricultural

i

market*. Attracting ncw industry that not only providcs security in employmcnt but also ncw lax revcnuo* to the stale'* budgets sliould łie first ur.d forcmostun any Idaho Citizen'* mind.

The lieutemmt govemor. Hulch Ottcr, in 1988 was dismayed nt the cxploiUition of Idaho’* natural resourccs nnd proposcd tluil the indufitry which purchased these natural rcv>urccs bc persunded to open manufacluring focililics in the stale of Idaho so that wc could sharc in the *ndded viilue* of the resourcc. If the Slroul depo.c.t can be mined successfully without the conflict* associnted with wildcmcss »tudy arena, then Idaho may very wcll play host lo many ncw induslrie* in the neor futurę.

not opposcd by myself. the Strouto. or nnyonc clse ussocialcd with the devclopmcni of the depo bil. In fact wc would congralulatc thcsc cnvironmcnlalUt5 on a welWonc job of protecting the bnd of the entirt Uruu d States. Thcy ore dcfinilely direly nceded.

However. in the mutler of the Strout dcpośil located north of Dliaa. as the nrvn i* ‘CUrrcntly layed out. a very scrious conflict exisl*. If the boundarie* werc u> be redrawn to the north of the dcposil. less than or.c mile, nil conecm* could be met: und wc could all bc dednred winnors in the fighr for ncw industry for Idaho nnd also for the fight for presenatwn of the Idaho wilde mess.
