Maybe this is what was holding up the EPA?

Taseko Mines’ 2021 ESG highlights include:

• .....
• Completion of a land swap at Florence Copper to protect centuries-old archeological features associated with the Hohokam culture.

Anyone have any insight?

According to BB himself, no land issues at all exist as the entire property is on privately owned and Arizona state property with the state already given all necessary clearances. So no, not a problem. Remember, the EPA is on record stating the public comment period will commence at some point in Q2, that being by the end of June and that the delay is due to staffing shortages. EPA words, not

This is not correct.  Archaelogical sites are issues, whether or not they are on private land.  The report I posted makes this abundantly clear.  I am long on TGB, but you have to be honest about the obstacles ahead.  It looks like they have resolved it, but the fact that it is on private land makes no difference.

Found this. Interesting that nothing of this was mentioned before.  The conclusion in 2014 was that one bore hole needed to be closed and any other impact on archaelogical sites would be minimal. Just some insight.  Modern AZ canals were often built on the same trenches of ancient Hohokam canals.   This seems to be a resolution to a problem that I did not know existed.
