We help citizens protect their home, neighborhood, and environment from the impact of poorly conceived mining operations. Whether you're concerned about an existing or proposed mine, we can help in two ways.
First, we'd be delighted to answer any specific questions you have regarding a mine. Just give us a call (toll-free) at 1-800-773-4571. Advice by phone is always available free of charge to those seeking to preserve their home and neighborhood from harm.

CEDS has prepared a Project Evaluation Checklist which allows you to take a first look at many of the impacts listed above. Detail on how to review a project for these potential impacts can be found in our free 300-page book How To Win Land Development Issues.
CEDS is a nationwide network of attorneys, planners, environmental scientists, traffic engineers, political strategists, fundraisers, and other professionals. We help people with concerns about all types of mining operations. We also help those living near existing and closed mines to reduce facility impacts.
