Preservation panel to weigh in on gas drilling near Nine Mile Canyon

Thank you ACHP! Your arrival is a bit late but we grately appreciate your involvement all the same. Maybe now the public will beging to understand what's truly at stake in Nine Mile Canyon and we can begin working on a solution that will not only protect Nine Mile Canyon but provide for oil/gas extraction as well. With the ACHP, the EPA and the GAO all involved, it will be a bit harder for the Oil/Gas industry to label the preservationists involved with Nine Mile as just a bunch of unpatriotic, obstructionist environmentalists, and the public will begin to see through Bill Barret Corps tv and radio ads and recognize them for what they are - PR propaganda. The industry may have the BLM in their backpocket, but thankfully they're not the only government agency who gets to weigh in. Welcome ACHP!

I hope they are not coming in CNG powered vehicles.

If no viable alternative route can be found, why not just make BBC pave the road through the canyon? I realize this may not help prevent distructive vibrations, but it would at least eliminate the dust problem.
