K*******,
I just tried calling but there was no answer. I appreciate your frustration, and all of us here share it as well. At this point, we don’t have anything new to offer since our update on Feb. 22. We believe the EPA is wrapping up some final administrative items before issuing the draft permit, based on what they have told us. They have not given a new timeframe but we remain hopeful the draft will be issued in the coming weeks.
Please feel free to give me a call and we can discuss further.

Nothing surprising here, except this is the response BB would have rather given: "The EPA is, always has been, and will continue to be, a ginormous pain in the azz to all mining companies, including ours. The remaining person needed to sign off on our project at Florence is a political appointee of the ultra leftist O'Biden administration and wants to wait until his / her next vacation week off so that someone else can sign off in his / her absence, so as to pass the buck and not be blamed by the loony left entities he / she remains beholden to."
Seriously, the truth goes something very close to the above scenario.
