MARQUETTE -- According to Save the Wild UP, the first DEQ hearing on Kennecott Minerals' proposed Eagle Project sulfide mine, held at Northern Michigan University on Monday, Sept. 10, had such a large turnout that it was extended two hours beyond the 9:30 p.m. scheduled ending. Comments totaled 112 opposed to the sulfide mine and 14 in favor of it, they noted on their Web site today.
"More than 100 individuals stood before the MDEQ on the first day of public hearings and sent a resounding message – the Kennecott Eagle Mine is not welcome here," the site reported.
Visit Save the Wild UP for details and a map to the West Branch Community Center at the old K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base, where more hearings will be held Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 13, 14. See our previous post for the complete schedule of the hearings and address for mailing written comments.
