South Road – Wetlands Destruction Permit (Public Hearing)

Please Attend Public Hearing: February 10th, 7:00pm, at the Westwood Auditorium, the DEQ will hold a public hearing to decide if they will approve Kennecott’s "Woodland south road". The Application calls for the destruction of 31 acres of wetlands, and the cut of a 22.3 mile industrial haul road through the undeveloped Michigamme Highlands area.

The road will cross 100 year flood plains of a number of rivers, and there is no plan in place for dealing with fugitive dust. Not only will this road open up beautiful tracts of undeveloped land to commercial use, but will subject sensitive wetland areas and wildlife habitat to heavy metal pollution through fugitive dust.

  1. Please keep me informed about Kennecott’s latest escapades. I highly oppose the approval of “Woodland south road”. Please put my new e-mail address on your list. Former address was: engstromkay@hotmail.com.

    Thanks.

  2. rio tinto, owned by the rothschild banking system,controllers of the federal reserve, which is not part of our government, the world bank, international monetary fund, and numerous other businesses including gold,oil,bonds, and all central banks of the world, except five countries, has polluted wherever they have mined around the world, and have have human rights violations apparently. they don’t care about pollution, which is beyond understanding because this is a small world and they also have to live on it.
