The DNR must now decide whether these changes are big enough to require a full new environmental review. If so, there will be a public comment period. We'll make sure you know exactly when/how to weigh in.

We've stopped this mine for 20 years. With your support, we'll keep Minnesota's water clean.

Here's what hasn't changed. Copper-sulfide mining has a perfect track record of polluting nearby water. Metal mining is the largest source of toxic releases reported to the EPA. No redesign changes that chemistry.

25% more ore every day. New material transport. New waste disposal.

That's not a tune-up. It's an admission that the plan our state spent millions of your tax dollars defending in court should never have been permitted.
