Boundary Waters has been set aside as valuable parkland with pristine glacial lakes and pathways. No snowmobiling allowed. It attracts the most tourists of any Park. Its sanctity has been protected for years and there’s no rule of law that allows violating its territory with a Foreign mining project. Denali National Park has no water in their first 90 miles, because concrete manufacturing destroyed the waterways and wildlife. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce This Republican Congress doesn’t act often,when the legislators act, they act to destroy our magnificent parks, favoring a foreign Copper mine, over the rights of 250,000 tourists in the northeast corner of Minnesota. 4 of TR’s sons signed a letter, asking the Senators to vote No! Installing a Copper mine in the Boundary Waters Park, created in 1909, will contaminate the groundwater with Sulfuric Acid and heavy metals. Plus copper extraction is 1% of the extraction and heavy metals a by product. This Park belongs to Americans, don’t destroy our environment for foreign investment.
