Toxic Mine Threatens Bird Habitat

"Unless we act quickly, a mining company will begin toxic mining operations in Minnesota, threatening fish-eating birds like Belted Kingfishers, Common Loons, and Hooded Mergansers. By the mining company's own admission, the mining operation would ooze toxins into the region's waterways for as long as 500 years. The mining site would require constant and expensive water treatment for that entire period.

But mining operations cannot begin without approval from the Environmental Protection Agency. Tell the EPA to halt this misguided project before its too late."
