From Save the Wild UP:
MARQUETTE -- Rio Tinto/Kennecott -- in a letter dated August 4, 2010 -- provided sketchy information describing their recent modifications to their Eagle Project site plan for the sulfide mine on the Yellow Dog Plains.
The company claimed these modifications -- which include moving and expanding several buildings and moving and enlarging the temporary development rock storage area -- will not change the overall footprint of the main surface operation or require any changes to the Mine Permit No. MP 01 2007.
According to Save the Wild UP, a small notice in the Marquette Mining Journal dated August 15, 2010, stated the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (MDNRE) agreed with Kennecott.
