“one of our big concerns, which means a lot of the tribe's concern, is that this is a connected action. This road really— this project part stops at the Big Sioux— well, 22 miles. And what Ada and their last enclosure just showed, that it's a connected action to a gold mine, which brings it to that what we're looking at will have a huge impact, a bigger impact on the whole part, which needs to be considered.”

From the transcript
Yes, thank you. This is Stephanie Tompkins, President of Alexander Creek Incorporated. Commissioner, we missed you on Friday during the meeting, but one of our big concerns, which means a lot of the tribe's concern, is that this is a connected action. This road really— this project part stops at the Big Sioux— well, 22 miles. And what Ada and their last enclosure just showed, that it's a connected action to a gold mine, which brings it to that what we're looking at will have a huge impact, a bigger impact on the whole part, which needs to be considered.
