February 18: DEQ Hosts Public Meeting in Humbolt

Posted on by

Concerned citizens will get a chance on February 18 to voice their opinions on Kennecott’s plans to re-open the old Humboldt Mill at a public meeting hosted by Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality

Kennecott Minerals bought the property last September with plans to process ore from its proposed Eagle Project. Without legal permits to develop Eagle, the company continues to push permits for this processing facility, which was not part of the original mine plan.

The Department of Environmental Quality would have to approve Kennecott’s application before the company could reopen the facility. The meeting schedule is as follows:

Location: Humboldt Township Hall

Directions: Hwy 41 to M95. M95 south, 1 block, turn west on County Road FA. Follow signs to the Hall. Click here for map to Humboldt Township Hall.

  1. I printed the February 18: DEQ Hosts Public Meeting In Humboldt from the web site.

    I looked for directions to the Humboldt Township Hall on Mapquest. I didn’t see Road SA but there was Road FA. Is this it?

    Also, is the Formal Testimony specifically from the DEQ or are other entities involved?

  2. Rich,

    We corrected the directions, Co Rd FA is correct (not SA). A map is also included.

    The testimony is from the public to the DEQ so citizens can be heard.
