PREFACE Most people who donated their efforts on this Handbook are readily identified either as Editors or Contributing Authors. Without them, it would have never been completed. However, quite a few individuals, in addition and otherwise unlisted, provided essential services and their generous dedication demands identification. A prime example are the executive assistants, secretaries, and computer specialists who graciously helped: the most notable examples are Mary Curto, Linda Duff, Roger Dyas, Cheryl Gross, Eva Miller, Pam Olson, Gill Porter, Leslie Wells, Eric Zahl, and Tammy Van Zyl. Lou Prosser of the now defunct U.S. Bureau of Mines especially contributed continually and in many ways as also did Ivan Uranowitz and Bill Mote of the Northwest Mining Association and Tom Hilliard of the Minerals Policy Committee. Clayton Pam and Marghret Van Buskirk provided critical input into Chapter 2. Michael Drozd, Ray Lowrie, and Alan Gilbert were always willing to lend an extra hand as needed (Alan, at times, even lent two}. Other "White Knights" of note include Lou Cope, Keith Dyas, Barb Filas, and Deepak Malhotra. B&ara Dygert provided extraordinary encouragement and support. The firms of Amax Gold, Sherman and Howard, and Knight Piksold offered extended assistance, and their contributions warrant special notice. Finally, without the efforts of Lane White, taking on the onerous task of copy production, this volume would have never been completed. On a very personal note, the Editor wishes to thank the staff of the College of San Mateo, who imparted sufficient knowledge on the use of a PC to get this job done; Fred Leif of the US. EPA who invited a partially tamed old fox into his chicken coop; and most notable of all, to Evelyn, a miner's wife and life's companion, for continued strong editorial and. much more importantly, emotional support. In conclusion, the Editor, a mining operator and planner by training and dedication, has had thc opportunity in the last few years to meet and work with highly committed environmentalists. Miners and environmentalists art: not very dissimilar in the strength of their convictions and are overwhelmingly good people. A continued environmentally and economically sound mining industry will take the cooperation of all interested parues (as the political expression goes: "we need everyone under one big tent"). Let us once and for all put aside the ruinous "we versus lhcy" mentality, and remember: "thc cnemy is us'' (a11 of us). If this Hundbouk provides nothing else but bringing together, even in a very small way, all of those involved in mining environmentalism, then it must be deemed a success.
