Unlawful Utility Installation: Kennecott Fails to Ammend Permit

Kennecott Minerals’ mining permit does not authorize construction or installation of power lines along AAA road, however in a bold move today, their contracted company, “Great Lakes” began to bury power cable along this rural by-way. No amendments have been received or reviewed by the MDNRE concerning  this change in the permit application, allowing Kennecott to operate outside of the law. In a recent letter to the state, agency directors were asked to hold Kennecott to the law.

  1. You sure do leave out a lot of “facts” that do not favor your position but then why should SWUP be any different than the rest. I do enjoy reading what SWUP has to say though, it’s always good to look at both sides.

  2. GREED is the driving force, and always will be. Until enough people get off there couches, and off there a**es this will continue to be. It is really only the people that will make the difference.
