PolyMet's draft Environmental Impact Statement received an environmentally unsatisfactory rating from the EPA. GLIFWC's new analysis shows that the preliminary Final EIS isn't any better. The problem is that sulfide mining cannot be done in Northeast Minnesota without polluting both ground and surface water. Corporate and political pressure is forcing our state regulatory agencies to ignore or cover up the true essence of the problem.
As a citizenry, we need to decide on the value and importance of our water resources--not just for ourselves, but for future generations and for those living downstream--whether that is downstream into the BWCAW or downstream into the St. Louis River and Lake Superior--where frankly there are a lot more people living.
GLIFWC's analysis is huge. (1) PolyMet has the potential to pollute both the BWCAW AND the Lake Superior watershed. (2) Our politically controlled agencies are not motivated to do proper scientific analysis--most likely because it would be the end of PolyMet.
