WINDOW ROCK - The closing the Black Mesa Mine could cost the Navajo
government as much as $13 million in lost royalties and taxes, equal to 10 percent of
the tribe’s annual revenue.

Mark Graham, head of the Navajo Nation’s tax office, said about $5 million
will be lost in taxes every year, zithromax online without a prescription.

While the tribe taxes the Black Mesa Mine, zithromax medicine, it doesn’t tax the nearby Kayenta
Mine, No rx zithromax, also operated by the Peabody Western Coal Co., because it is on Hopi
land.

To make up for the loss in taxes, Grant is recommending that $5.5 million be
diverted from fuel excise tax revenues into the general fund, cheap zithromax. Normally the
tax revenues pay for road maintenance, Approved zithromax pharmacy, which makes the measure controversial
among council delegates.

The tribe stands to lose even more from coal royalties, which generate the
bulk of the nearly $40 million that Peabody says is paid to the tribe by the
Black Mesa Mine each year.

Dominic Beyal, head of the tribe’s Office of Management and Budget, said
tribal programs would be hurt by even an $8 million cut in the budget, buy zithromax without prescription.
One proposal now under consideration is to increase money to general
operating expenses by reducing money allocated to set-asides. These include the
Permanent Trust Fund, zithromax sale, land acquisitions, Order zithromax online, local governance, capital outlay, water
rights and higher education, find discount zithromax.

Reducing these would free millions of dollars for general operating expenses
and allow the government to continue funding programs at or near the present
level, cheap zithromax internet.

Beyal said his office plans to develop this approach further starting in
January, cheapest zithromax online.

(When the government sorts this problem out, tribal officials will almost
certainly have to revisit the problem again in a couple of years because of
plans by the Pittsburg-Midway Co. to close down its mines east of Window Rock, Zithromax internet, thus creating another layoff of Navajo miners and millions in cutbacks to
tribal income.)

Peabody has been a decent corporate citizen in complying with Navajo Nation
laws and its permit terms, Zithromax professional, if you can get past the epic battles over its low
royalty rates.

Graham said Peabody has been a good taxpayer, paying on time.
“We have had some minor disputes, zithromax in malaysia,” Graham said, Zithromax drug, adding that these were
settled amicably.

Peabody has also been good about making royalty payments on time, or at
least there have been no reports of late payments to the accounting office.
But the tribe and company have tangled over the amount of those royalties,
leading to several major lawsuits over the years, buy zithromax without prescription.

In fact, there have been only a few years in the past 35 since the mine
opened when the tribe did not have a pending lawsuit or two dealing with Peabody, buying generic zithromax.
The Black Mesa Mine also has a reasonably clean record of compliance with
environmental provisions of its permit, Generic zithromax, and Peabody proudly cites multiple
awards it has won in connection with reclamation work on mined acreage.

The company just won five awards for community and environmental
stewardship, given yearly by the U.S. Interior Department, zithromax for order. Buy zithromax without prescription, Two were for its Arizona
mines. It swept the Good Neighbor category, Compare zithromax prices online, winning a silver medal for its
managed grazing initiative on Black Mesa.

grasses have been reestablished. The acreage is made available to Navajo families
who have customary use rights there, and they graze cattle under the company’
s watchful eye, zithromax pill.

Peabody spokesperson Beth Sutton said the reclaimed acreage is 20 times more
productive than it was before mining, order zithromax from us, which may reflect the severity of
overgrazing on the reservation as much as it does the company’s reclamation
wizardry. Zithromax buy online,

Peabody’s Lee Ranch Mine near Grants, N.M., has similar terrain and
elevation. Reclaimed acreage there is twice as productive as when it was a ranch,
according to the company.

The Bad News. When Peabody pumps shut down, the brackish water from aquifers
overlying the N-aquifer could begin seeping into that aquifer, thereby
permanently contaminating the pristine water.

This possibility is confirmed by reports from a hydrologist working for the
Navajo Nation in 1984 and a statement by a Peabody official during an
interview with Mr, buy valtrex without prescription. Cheap valtrex pill, Bill Havens, former Chief of Staff to Chairman Ferrell Secakuku.

The Navajo report explained that Ted Smith, Peabody Manager for
Environmental Studies said, "All wells [are] pumping from four aquifers
simultaneously, valtrex buy,"
specifically mentioning the "Navajo, Valtrex cheap, Entrada, Morrison, and Dakota" aquifers, valtrex without rx.
Peabody has seven or eight producing wells on its leasehold area.

The Peabody official also said the coal company had to relocate wells due to
scale build-up and sand problems, pharmacy valtrex. The Navajo hydrologist said this could be
a preliminary indication of that the aquifers were starting to collapse due
to pumping far in excess of recharge.

Since the pumping started in 1970, valtrex approved, Peabody has increased its initial
projected pumping rate by 50 percent, Valtrex overnight shipping, ignoring a warning from Thomas Stetson,
Peabody consultant engineer, that the excessively high production rate could cause
serious damage to the N-aquifer.

Two years ago Navajo people living adjacent to the mining area began
noticing the appearance of sinkholes and started mapping their locations. Back in
1970, cheap valtrex tablets, the Hopi elders warned that the earth would start to break up due to
excessive pumping.

Back in 1994, cheap valtrex on internet, Mr. Buy valtrex without prescription, Havens interviewed the public relations official for
Peabody regarding the coal company's impact on the N-aquifer. Find valtrex without prescription, The official
explained that Peabody was pumping less N-aquifer water than anticipated because the
well casings above the N-aquifer well head are perforated to allow siphoning
off waters from overlying aquifers, thus reducing the stress on the
N-aquifer.

When asked about the risk of N-aquifer contamination by seepage of water
from overlying aquifers, the Peabody official said, "Only if we stop pumping."

On Dec. 31, buy generic valtrex, some or all of Peabody's pumps will finally stop. Order valtrex from canada, Ending Peabody
pumping, however, could be a bittersweet victory if our sole-source water is

The Navajo hydrologist recommended to Mike Nelson, buy valtrex, Assistant to the
President and Vice-President of the Navajo Nation, Buy valtrex online without prescription, that an inspection team of Office
of Surface Mining (OSM) personnel, and Hopi and Navajo tribal representatives
be provided with all data on each well. The hydrologist further stated, discount valtrex no rx, "It
is imperative that we examine the casing of each well by lowering a camera so
that we can see the condition of the casings, Buy cheapest valtrex online, the appearance of the water in
the wells, and the location and the extent of the perforations."

Now is the time to carry out that recommendation. Not only should Navajo,
Hopi and OSM hydrologists have access to all well data and conditions for all
the producing and non-producing wells, valtrex discount, but we should also insist that OSM
collect water samples from Peabody wells and all of the observation-monitoring
wells for the purpose of establishing base-line data on water quality and to
find out if water levels in the N-aquifer will recover as rapidly as OSM is
predicting when the pumps shut down. Valtrex online without prescription, This data will be a useful reference for
future studies.
