Additional documents for Chemours permit application to mine SRWMD land 2025-06-16

Today, I got about 1.4 gigabytes of files in response to the FOIA I sent to the Army Corps on May 28. Unfortunately, this additional information arrived after the June 12 deadline for comments on the Chemours application to mine for titanium dioxide on SRWMD land. WWALS already sent a letter on that day.

If the Public Hearing happens that we and others called for, we can bring up any questions that come out of this additional information.

It’s all on the WWALS website.

You can pick up the 661 megabyte zip file.

Or you can look in the extracted subdirectories and files, starting with:

This is what I requested:

This is a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (5 U.S.C. 552).

Please send those additional project drawings and any other materials associated with the Chemours permit application SAJ-2019-00480 (JPF) Published May 13, 2025 / Expiration date: 6/12/2025.

Thanks to John P Fellows, I have already received these files, so there is no need to send them again:
20250102 Chemours_TRS_404App_FINAL_Figures.pdf
20250102 Eng_Form_4345_Signed (2).pdf

However, that first file is missing Figure 6. Please send Figure 6.

Plus apparently there are other figures and files that require a FOIA. Please send them, as well.

Maybe Figure 6 is somewhere in these materials, but I haven’t found it yet.

There is much duplication in what was received, but there is new information in there.

See what you can find in there about this application to mine SRWMD land for titanium dioxide, at the top of Double Run Creek, which runs into the Santa Fe River, above the Floridan Aquifer.
