It is not hard to see who is benefiting from this contract and it’s not the town or its residents.  Resolution Copper does all the dictating in the agreement for its benefit.  I don’t regard anything here in the agreement as a gift. The town would benefit financially if they annexed all-mine facilities to include Oak Flat mine area. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) noted that the Town of Superior would benefit the least financially from this project due to it not being in the town’s city limits.

“Instead of doing its job to protect Queen Creek, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality is allowing Resolution Copper Company to add more pollutants to an already polluted stream,” said Roger Featherstone, director of the Arizona Mining Reform Coalition. “It is time for EPA to step in to protect a creek that is valued by so many Arizonans.”

the 9th Circuit Court ruling does not advance the proposed Resolution Copper mine in the slightest. Until the US Forest Service completes and releases a new Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), the land transfer cannot happen,” said Roger Featherstone, Arizona Mining Reform Coalition Director. “It is unfortunate that the 9th Circuit court ruled as it did and we feel that the Apache Stronghold has a strong chance to prevail should the Supreme Court hear their case.”
