The Alton mine already has created horrendous truck traffic on U.S. Highway 89, and expansion would ruin the quality of life for residents and discourage tourists from visiting. Dozens of coal trucks grind down Panguitch's Main Street every day on their way to I-15 and a railhead at Cedar City. The mine expansion would add 153 more trucks per day, 24 hours a day, six days a week, according to the BLM's own report.
