“Please accept these comments on the Federal Hardrock Mineral Prospecting Permit Draft EIS (DEIS). I have serious concerns about the project’s potential for harmful impacts to Minnesota’s natural resources.<\/p>\n
Caring for our wilderness and natural heritage is a huge responsibility and I commend those of you in the Forest Service who have made it your life’s work.\u00a0 Thank you for your commitment.<\/p>\n
This particular instrument, a DEIS focused only on the environmental effects of drilling itself, is disingenuous. And you must know that.<\/p>\n
The real environmental impact of drilling, whatever transient effects it may have, will be the mines, if any, that occur in its wake.\u00a0 To not count the certainty of mining in the case of favorable mineral deposits as the first and most significant environmental impact of drilling makes us all look absurd.\u00a0 Please, please add mining to the list of drilling’s environmental impacts.\u00a0 Logic and good policy formation demand it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
