Marquette County Road Commission Meeting
Monday, October 19, 2009
Ishpeming Township Hall (note location change)
6:30 pm

The MCRC will either vote to accept Kennecott’s Proposed South Road plan or defer the decision until a later meeting. At a public hearing held Sept 28, a group of 20 citizens voiced their concerns about the proposed route and urged the commission to postpone their decision until Kennecott 1) amends their mining permit and 2) obtains all of the necessary permits to do their mining business.

Urge the commission to postpone their decision on the public portion of this massive road project that promises to

 degrade and destroy the wilderness highlands of Michigamme Township
 displace wildlife
 open thousands of acres to intensive logging, sulfide mining, and other development
 threaten the ecological health of sensitive wetlands, streams and rivers

TAKE ACTION:
Attend the meeting Monday night!

If you cannot,

Call  MCRC, Jim Iwaniki,  Monday and voice your concerns!          486 -4491 Ext. 200
