Kennecott is proposing to operate a metallic sulfide mine in one of Michigan’s last wild areas, the Yellow Dog Plains, and recently submitted an application to re-open a milling facility in Humboldt Township, Michigan for processing of ore from the mine site. If approved, Kennecott’s proposed milling facility operations could result in environmental degradation and human health hazards. The DEQ is accepting written comments until 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, 2009.
Please consider the ramifications of mine pollution. This mine will have long lasting effects, please know what those effects are before making your decision.
I am against any mining in Yellow dog plains and I also don’t want milling operations going on in Humbolt township. When are you going to carry out the wishes of the majority instead of caving in to the interests of a large(FORIEGN) corporation. This is disgracefull!Would you want this in your neighborhood?
