The MDNRE recently approved changes to Kennecott’s mine site plan. The changes, which included alterations to the mine’s contact water basins, building housing the wastewater treatment plant and size of a rock storage area, were approved Sunday without public review and input.

“It looks like we’re going to end up with a site plan 90 percent different than what we started with,” Halley said. “That the public has never seen or had a chance to comment on.”

Halley said the deepening of the water contact basins could intersect with other water sources. She said the absence of crushing facilities will require additional blasting or crushing at the mine site, leading to more dust, while specifications for air ventilation membranes to keep the dust from reach the air remain unknown. She said neither Kennecott nor DNRE officials have adequately explained the important changes.

“One question leads to another and they’re not answering any of them,” Halley said. “It’s all this kind of a ‘trust us’ situation.”
