WASHINGTON, May 15 - The U.S. Interior Department on Wednesday renewed two mineral leases near the Boundary Waters Wilderness area in Minnesota, opening the popular wilderness and recreation area up to copper mining despite heavy opposition from local and national conservation groups.
"Mining strategic metals in the United States is beneficial to national security, national and local economies, and job creation," the Interior Department's assistant secretary Joe Balash said in a statement. The Obama administration in 2016 had implemented a moratorium on new mineral development in the area while it would conduct an extensive environmental impact statement analysis to determine whether 234,000 acres of the watershed around Boundary Waters should be withdrawn from mining for up to 20 years.
The BLM said it got more than 39,000 comments during the 41 day EA review, which informed its decision.
Same with Alaska’s Pebble Mine in S.E. Alaska’s Bristol Bay which will put the largest salmon harvest in the world in danger! This is insanity. Sen. Ted Stevens was against it. “WrongMineWrongPlace” Alaska PebbleProject NoPebbleMine TailingsPondsAlwaysFail
No no no no! Can we ever undo the damage this administration has done?
Like Obama seizing farmers land? Gee, i recall a standoff on that.
This is what they do. Selling America mile by square mile. workOfHate
