A New Proposal from Kennecott, but the Old Adage from Roscoe Churchill Still Rings True: “Just Grass Over a Grave”
Kennecott / Flambeau Mining Company (FMC) is proposing to convert an existing 0.9-acre, lined ”detention basin” (pond) at the partially reclaimed Flambeau Mine site to an ”infiltration basin” and construct two new infiltration basins at the site to handle contaminated runoff. I recently received notice of a public hearing that has been scheduled on the proposal for Wednesday August 3, 2011 at 5 PM in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
