MARQUETTE — Kennecott Eagle Minerals Company officials said Thursday the company anticipates installing air filtration equipment to reduce emissions at its proposed nickel and copper mine on the Yellow Dog Plains by 85 percent.

The announcement came in the wake of a state Department of Environmental Quality public comment period on the proposed approval of the Kennecott mine closing Wednesday.
